The statement in the V. e T. organ. til
News, that Sf0,000 was sent to the Bul'ia's
d Exchange hank at Carson in 1881 ter
The use of Senator Stewart is Il pure fahr,-
cation without a grain of truth. The 'l.ail
who wrote such u story is a perfect Mum
ch"ueen and would have stolen the whole
$4,000, if sucn amount had been sent here
It is easy to make I charge, hnt drc]d-
fully hard to prove it. As the new va
z. editor Of the News has tho dis in ms
possession suppose he produce them tor
the information of tho people. 1t would
do no good to sue the News for libel. be-
cause a jury would hold them i%rresponsi-
bic for their statements or acts.
>. "The News i, informed that Senator
Stewart said that the establishment of the
Government tuiIding was due to his
efforts"
This is another rank statement, for
Senator Stewart never said anything Of
the kiad. What he did say was hat Mr.
Cassidy secured she first appropriation,
y hich was insufficient, ana that he OBJ
laiued the necessary money to com piete
it.. If he had not lone this the Mint
building would have been used and no
public building would have been erected.
This error on the part of the new Y. x
I. editor cf the News Is excusahle on the
assumption thHt he has not been at his
desk long enough-Io"g enough, how
ever TO pervert tr;l'h imto tttsehoOd.
3. Senator Stewart did carry out the
instructions of the Legislature in 1898 by

Morgan, PettigreW, White, Harris and
others. The Indebtedness has been
secured to the Government and that
question is now settled. Again the new.
Va 7. editor of the News is wrong in
his tactS-iutentionally, OF course.
1. Nevada's representatives took every
action within their power TO enforce the
Interstate Commerce Act, and let an in
stance be cited wherein they have not
We suggest that the new \.& /. editor OF
the News call upon Mr.. Dorsey Note"are
at Cagwin 4 Noteware's and ask HIM
what action Senator Stewart took in the
matter. The Senator instructed a NUM-
Der of merchants in Carson and other
places in Nevada how to proceed IN
bringing the question before the Com
missions but before they could do

Again II dovOlves upon the new N.% l
t editor of the News to apologize for his
0 false assertion.
5. The last charge in the News is un.
worthy of answer. We submit that every
co0ked-up charge made by the defamer'
