Hon. NJ. $. Bonnitield, Carson City, New.
Dear Sir:-I beg to acknowledge the
receipt of yours of the Both nit. Nevada
cannot afford at this time to make 3
change in The Senate, and 1t would be
most injurious to the silver cause To have
a change made. Senator Stewart has
been in the harness 80 long and has been
30 prominently identified with the agl-
talinn tor the rehabilitation of silver,
that the election of any other man 10 "c-
cupy his seat in tine Senate, although he
might be even as Staunrh an advocate of

accepted by the opposition as a triumph
and so proclaimed to the world. If not

this point, but | cannot believe the people
will permit themselves to be led into any
false step at tins time.
Very truly yours,

(specia, Dispatch to The Post.)


washington, September 2i.--Managers OF
both the political parties are uncertain as
to the effect that Algerism in the war
department Will have on the congressional
campaign. At the republican headquarters
there is a disposition to look at the stua-
tion hopefully and to believe that there
will be reaction from the army scandals.
At the democratic headquarters it Is con-
tended that the volunteers on their return
to their homes viii be Inclined to relate
their troubles fully rather thla to minimize
them ami will create even more dIssatis-
faction with the war department and the
administration than at present exists.
II the president could see his way to
supplantlng Secretary Alger by some ono

conhdonce there is no doubt the republican
campaign managers would be greatly
pleased
The president was very much disturbed
today by the developments al Lexington

private soldiers or civilians, but hy two

There is one serious difficulty in the
way Of making aoy change In the Office OF
secretary OF war and that IS the fact that.
however much Secretary Alger may have
been to blame for not discovering the weak

sponsble for these weak places. as ii was

to rise. And the reason that the republican
party is losing ground as the result of it is
not because the democrats are making cap
ital out of The scandal, but the republican
administration is responsible for what hap
