NNAAS
election OF VIM. NJ. Stewart to succeed
himself as United States Senator from
Nevada, is opposed to the Senator simply
because Mr.. Cleveland while a resident
of Nevada did not have the support OF
Senator Stewart to make Mr.. Cleveland
| U. S. Marshal of Utah. We cannot see
why Mr. Cleveland, speaking from the
record, is worthy of belief in anything he
says or is to be taken with sincerity in
anything he does. That he should re-
ceive no consideration at the hands OF
Republicans, that not one of them
should or a believe anything he says,
or view without great suspicion any
thing he does, is horne out by the fact
that he betrayed the Republicans and
the trust imposed in him by Republicans
and as the burned child breads the fire,
or one hates q liar In word or deed,
Republicans should let Mr.. Cleveland
severely alone. He Is a renegade and a
traitor to the Silver party and is with
out honor in the ranks OF that party.
Because he did mol receive the Office Of
profit and trust that he asked for, be-
cause victory did not perch on his ban
ner when he sought the nomination for
Governor at the hands Of the Silver
Party State Convention, he is a sore
head and would sacrifice every friend he
ever had to satisfy his personal zen
geance. The world hates such crea-
lures. With his lying hypocritical
cry for home rule, he has the audacity
and lack of shame to tell his audiences
that while pretending to be a Nevadan
he sought a Utah Office and gives as an
excuse that he would live a lie and spend
the profits in Nevada. If this is not a
barefaced and shameful attempt to gain
influence and support by prostitution
openly and outrsgeously offered, we
would like to know what it can be. Now
Of this traitor employe, ex-railroad lob
byist, renegade Republican and mug
wump Silver man, the friend Of nobody
but himself, is worthy Of belief, then so
is a downright lie and utter falsehood.
Cleveland is n of the members of the
factory a~ssiduously engaged in turing
out scandal against VIM. M. Stewart.
We have known Alfred Chartz for
years but we say that In his speeches
against certain alleged doings OF Senator
Stewart against the interests ofthe State
are unfair, in many ways unjust, in
many instances false, and are extremely
treacherous because of containing a little
truth in a large mass of untruth. Gan
error, 1T is said, contains a grain of
truth" and the seven-eights lie is the
most dangerous Of lies. Elsewhere in
these columns is a card from an honest
man, the esteemed editor of the Reno
Plaindealer, and he who runs may read
with interest OF some of Chartz's mud
throwing. Again Chartz ''quotes alleged
extracts from Senator Stewards speech
at Carson which he claims he took in
shorthand, but which really was in
wronghand. He got the statement
mixed, evidently by turning two or three
pages over at a time. OF course short.
hand writers often do this. Chartz says
"Stewart said in his Carson speech
that the Dingley bill was q steal by say
ing that the Republicans went to Sena-
tor Tillman OF South Carolina to get him
to vote for the bill and Tillman said: II
there is going to be a steal South Caro-
lima has got to be in it, and they gave
South Carolina something"
This is where Chartz got his notes
mixed. Senator Stewart said that he
was explaining to the Senate how alb.
surd it was for the representatives from
the south to allow the manufacturers in
New England to get protection for their
labor while denying protection to the
laborers of the South and West, and he
made it 80 vivid as to make the South
ern Senators see that they were getting
the short end of the stick, while the
New England manufactu rers were get
ting the whole pudding. When they
saw how they we're being worked Mr.,
Tillman said that if New England is
going to get protection for her laborers,
he saw no reason why South Carolina
should DOT have her laborers protected
in the same way, which was right. The
Republicans never approached Senator
Tillman, but as Tillman knew the bill
would pass anyway he decided to get
some benefit for his State. Tillman
never voted for the bill. So much for
this statement.
