THAT LETTER AND RECORD.

In reference to the charges made by
Congressman Newlands ct Winnemucca
. few days since, that Senator stewart
brought his (Nswlands1 "gold bug" let
ter to Secretary Gage. Published in the
Washington Post Of November 10, 1877.
together with Newlsn1s' congressional
record, to this State, and used by Mr..
Wren against Newlsnds in the late poht-
ioal campaign, Nj. Wren told . reporter
of the SENTINEL that Newlsnds evidently
intended to lead the people TO infer that
Senator Stewart had furnished the Post
and record to him, Wren. Mr.. Wren
said that that was not true, that the Post
was handed : o him by MIR. Summer6eld,
Q prominent Republican Of Reno, and the
record by Mr.. Coffin, . prominent Re
publican Of Carson City. both of them

II is notable in this connection that
Nswlands did not deny that the record
was correct. nor did be attempt to ex-
plain his tresohery to the cause of free
coinage shown by the Gage letter. The
people are more anxious to hear why
Newlands deserted the silver cause, and
why he was absent from his seat in Con-
Qress over five hundred times ct roll
