MORETON FREWEN ON THE Sill
YER QUESTION.

London, Sept. IA reporter of the
Journal CHANGED to meet Mr.. Moreton
Frewen, one of the best known au-
thorities on the silver question a few
DAYS ago, and mentioned to him that
Mr.. Bourke Cochran was to address an
audience in Madison Square Garden on
Wednesday in reply to Mr.. Bryan's
statement. Yes" said Mr.. F'rewen,
II am very much interested to hear
that Mr.. Cochran intends to throw
himself with his accustomed energy
into the fray, but it seems to me prob
able that he will considerably embar-
rass the sound money party in the
Eastern States. Mr.. Cochran, for whom
/ entertain a high regard is not even
an international bi-metallist-he is for
a gold standard and a gold currency,
pure and simple; he is not one of those
who agree with the public opinion of
the Eastern States that international
bi-metallism and an international set
Element of the silver question are de-
sirable. On the contrary, he agrees
with President Cleveland, Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie, Senator Gray, of Delaware,
and with a mere handful of men in
public life who, as General Francis
Walker declared to us recently in his
speech at the Mansion House, are not
in number sufficient to form a cor
porals guard. A statement therefore
from Mr.. Cochran indorsing gold mono
metallism is likely to prove what you
would call in the States a great roor-
back If the evolution of the currency
agitation in the States is what / feel
confident it will be, the alternative to
an international agreement, should
that agreement be impossible of attain
ment, will undoubtedly be free silver.
I personally agree with Mr.. Bryan that
if the United States should open her
minis at one to sixteen she can raise
the exchange value of silver all the
world over to her rating. / hold this
opinion not upon any mere grounds of
theory, but upon what we actually saw
during the month of June in 1898. We
saw the mints of India closed and we
saw as the effect of that closure the
price of silver fall more than 25 per cent
i'm five days. If the closing of the India
minis single handed has such colossal
effect as that upon the price of silver
bullion, how great would be the effect
experienced if the United States, with
her enormous exporting power, were
to open her minis to free coinage? 1t
seems to me almost a rule of three
sum that with the minis open in the
United States silver would go to 1919
cents an ounce and remain there. [
agree in holding this view with Presi-
dent Andrews of Brown University,
and with a number of authorities on
this side of the water, including Mr..
IT. H. Gibbs and Mr.. Grenfell, both
eX-governors of the Bank of England,
who stated this view explicitly in the
evidence they gave before the Royal
Commission on Currency in 1887"

The Curse
Of Mankind!

The most horrible disease to which
the human family is subject is conta-
gious blood poison. 1t has always
bafled the doctors, for Notwithstanding
the progress made in some branches Of
medicine, they have failed absolutely to
discover a cure for it. Whether in the
form of powder, pill or liquid, the doc
tors prescription is always the same
potash or mercury.
Mr.. Otto H. Ebert, who resides at the
corner of 2zd Street, and Avenue N,
Galveston, Texas, had a severe expert
ence with this dreadful disease, and
under date of April 5th, 1896, writes:
Several years ago was so unfortu-
nate as to contract contagious blood
poison, and was under treatment of the

years. As soon as discovered that had

MAJOR MKINLEY AN "ANAR-
CHIST."

The highly paid sport of pursuing
Candidate Bryan, in which the Hanna
press is indulging with so much appar-
ent enthusiasm, cannot be altogether
amusing to Candidate Mckinley as he
peeps out from behind the blinds az
Canton to witness the chase. Candi-
date Bryan has a way of turning and
throwing the swapping pack into con-
fusion, and causing the sequestered
Major to withdraw hastily from the
window. Yesterday at Lincoln, Neb,
Mr.. Bryan was so unIind as to prove
that the Republican nominee for the
Presidency is himself no better than
an Anarchist and a Socialist, within
the meaning of those hard words as it
is accepted and daily announced by
every organ the handle of which is
controlled by Mr.. Hanna. That is to
say, Mr.. Bryan quoted as follows from
a speech delivered by Major Mckinley
at Toledo, Ohio, on February 10, 1891:
During all of Grover Cleveland's
years at the head of the government
he was dishonoring one of our precious

the remedy, and q dozen bottles cured
me completely, so that for Eve years

. BRYAN AS PRESIDENT COULD DO
MUCH.

We are told that President can not
make laws and can do us no good with
out a Congress to legislate. Well, we
admit that a proper Congress is a
paramount necessity. However, our
laws are not altogether so bad as those
who have been executing them.
Bryan could and would stop putting
an Understanding debt of bonds upon
us; he could and would pay coin obli-
cations in silver until silver was as
dear as gold. He could, without a
change of law at all, make such
changes in the execution of law virtu-
ally as to change our country from a
gold standard to a bimetallic basis

MAYBE some of the fellows who
are doing so much lying about 80
cent dollars, and the poor working
men having to be paid with them
if we get free coinage of silver never
thought that this matter could be
settled by giving the laborers two
so cent dollars for a dollars worth
of work. But Bryan wants to know
why this would not be good plan
If it should come to pass that there
was such thing as making a so
cent dollar. The Republicans, who
are so solicitous for the welfare of
the workingmen, will no doubt see
into this plan and should free coin
age give us so cent dollars, will
readily agree to pay the men two
of these dollars instead of one for
services rendered.

THE Populist Party of White
Pine county has changed its name
to that of Silver Party. 1t did this
in convention last week, and en-
dorses the State Silver Ticket, and
platform with the exception of the
resolution commencing the purity
of elections law passed by the last
Legislature. In regard to the law
the White Pine convention says:
eve believe this law is better cal
culated to encourage and promote
perjury than it is TO purify elections,
and ask that the law be repealed
by the next Legislature"
There are good many who think
the same way, but whenever any,
body says what he honestly believes
where such an issue is raised, he is
generally howled down as boodler,
briber and vote buyer. However,
the law is no good, and is SO mud
died up that it cannot be construed
in the same manner by any two
lawyers in the State. 1t ought to
be repealed or very radically amend

did not think it right to have too
many in his family looking for Of
fee at one time.
There is not man on the ticket
whose record for honesty and integ-
rity can be assailed. They are all
men of high standing in the coun-
ty, and the Silver Party should see
to it that they are all elected. No
man can point to single nominee
on the ticket and say he is not
worthy of the position to which he
aspires, and this is rare occurance
in any county. The silver men
should all make pull for the en-
tire ticket and use every honorable
means in their power to see that it
is elected from top to bottom.

THE SILVER TICKET.

IN tnlS county CnlS year is an e1-
ceptionally good one, and we believe
should be elected to a man.
The nominee for Senator, Hon. j.
e. Gignoux, who heads the ticket,
is gentleman who is in every way.
fitted to hold the office and help
make the laws for the State. He
has served the people as Assembly
man for two years, and as Senator
for four years, and during that time
has faithfully attended to the wants
of his constituents. He is now so
well versed in Legislative matters
that he is looked upon as one Of the
leaders in the legislative body, and
to us it would seem as much a
wrong to fail to return him to the
Senate as it would be to fail to re-
turn Hon. F. G. Newlands to Con-
gress. Mr.. Gignoux has a record of
which no legislator should be
ashamed, and the voters should, for
their own welfare, see that he is
elected again this year.
t. G. Wogan, the nominee for
Assemblyman from Silver City, is
one Of the brightest young men in
his community. He has figured
some in politics heretofore, but only
for his friends good, and he has
never before asked for any position
within the gift of the people. Mr..
Wogan is an active member Of the
Miners Union, and takes great in
terest in all labor union matters,
and has acted as Secretary of the
Silver City Miners Union on sever
al occasions. In his acceptance of
the nomination before the conven-
ton he brought forth matter that
was overlooked by the Committee
ON Resolutions. He stated that by
some it was believed that there
would be an attempt made by the
next Legislature to obliterate sever
al county boundary lines, and
pledged himself to support no meas
ure which would tend to change the
boundary lines of Lyon county in
the least. AS Silver City is only
asking this one position from the
Silver Party it would be a great in
Justice to the voters of that place
and to Mr.. Wogan not to elect him.
B. H. Reymers, the other nom
inee for Assemblyman, halls from
Mason Valley, where he has resided
for many years. He is prosper
Gus rancher, and although he has
always trained with the Republican
Party heretofore he is now with the
Silver Party to stay. He is honest
and earnest now in his belief that
the Republican Party is opposed to
free coinage, and his business is
such that he has had ample oppor-
tunities to see the ruin that the de-
monetization of silver has brought
to the agricultural section in which
he lives. He, as well as Mr.. Wogan,
is in favor Of returning J. P. Jones
to the United States Senate, and
this is one thing that neither of the
assembly nominees will overlook if
they are elected.
D. P. Randall, who received the
nomination for Sheriff and Assess
or, is a young man who anybody
may feel proud TO have as a friend.
He was brought up in Dayton, and
is we'll known all over the county.
For the past four years he has held
the responsible position of County
Commissioner, and he has made a
good officer. He is fearless in the
perform ance Of hisduty, and a man
whose word is as good as a govern
ment bond. These kind Of people
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1896-10-03

voters have chance TO elect such
man the should not throw it away.
Should Mr.. Randall be elected, and
we predict that he will, he will
make as good an officer in the cap
acity of Sheriff and Assessor as the
county ever had. He will attend
strictly to business and there will
be no favoritism shown. A vote
for Dick Randall will not be thrown
away or misplaced.
Jack Lotus, the luck boy, is the
nominee for Clerk and Treasurer.
He has no opposition and can't help
get elected. He has held the office
for two years, and made a good
officer. His books are kept in a
neat and systematic manner, and
the business in his Office is kept
right up to date. There will be no
fear of shortage in his accounts,
and the people evidently are aware
of this fact, as he has no opponent
for the place. We predict that he
will be elected without struggle.
j. M. Houston, of Mason Valley,
is the nominee for Auditor and Re-
corder. Mr.. Houston has always
been a Republican until the St.
Louis convention Of that party de-
clared against silver. He is as
much in earnest now for Bryan and
Sewall as he ever was for any Re-
publican presidential nominee in
years gone by. Mr.. Houston, we
consider an exceptionally good man
on the ticket for this position. He
once served the county as Commits
sioner, and made a good one. He
is we'll posted in the matter of draw
ing up of legal documents, and be-
side. this is a surveyor, and knows
where nearly every parcel of land
in the county lies. This knowledge
will aid him greatly in his Office.
Geo. w. Wilson, of Mason Val
ley is the nominee for long term
Commissioners. He lives in the up.
per end of the valley, and that Sec
ton has never had Commissioner
before, and we believe should now
be represented. Mr.. Wilson is one
of the representative men of the
valley and is known as a man of
sterling worth and integrity. He
has made success of his own bust
ness, and such men are the ones to
be selected to look after the county's
interest. The convention made no
mistake in nominating him, for he
commands respect and attention
from all on very slight acquain-
lance, and is an A l man for the
place he is seeking
Byron Gates. Of Dayton, is the
nominee for short term County Com
missioner. He has resided in Day
ton for over twenty years and this
is the first time he has asked Office
of any party or the people. What
has been said Of Mr.. Wilson can be
said Of Mr.. Gates. He is one of our
most substantial citizens. Has at
tended to his own affairs so well
that he has comfortable home and
lucrative business. He seeks the
position NOR at the earnest solicit
tations of the business men of this
end Of the county than for the EN-
oluments of l,r office, and there liz
not man who knows him who wifi
not admit that he is just the man
for the place With Gates and Viii
son as Commissioners the people Of
this county could rest assured that
not a dollar4nf the county money
would he lily used, and they would
indeed BE- fortunate in having two
auch worthy men To handle the
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1896-10-03
