political campaign. and that is that he
did not send 100000 to Nevada to
defeat Jones and Nswlands. adding
that he had no doubt but that sum
would have been enough. To return
the compliment Nevada can express
one sorrow infinitely more painful
than Mark Hanna's neglect to send
SZe.000, and that is that the moral
force of the Great East is not pure

The incoming Legislature should
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of reducing

nearly twire as much money. Men
able to qualify as bondsmen are not
one tenth as numerous now Us then.
T duty of raising bonds has thus
