STEWARDS RECEPTION.
ST. ssr Clam ,io Receives AK ga
in the Senate.

dent Of Carson, aud received a fe,
DAYS since, has this TO say which wi
interest the people of the State:
Senator Stewart arrived here upo
the morning of the day upon whicl
the vote was to be taken upon th
peace treaty. His first appearance il
the Senate was signalized by some
thing in the nature of an ovation
Immediately his desk was surround
ed by Senators eager to congratulate
the silver Champion upon his sue
cessful fight out in Nevada. The
Eastern papers had been giving very
full accounts in their telegraphic re
ports fthe progress of the fight and
there was perhaps more interest cen
tered in the contest than in any 9th,
er in the country.
Many leading silver men, among
whom were Bryan and our old friend
Bartine, told me that il would be
hailed as a significant victory by the
gold men to defeat Senator Stewart,
even with an equally ardent silver
man-if any could be found. Sen
ator Stewart has taken leading part
in the fight for so many years that he
is looked upon in the East as the
head and front of the great propa-
ganda for bimetalism; and his sue
cess was as much a matter of con-
graduation to Bryan, Teller and
their followers, as it was of disap-
pointment to the ultra gold men.
Newlands has ruined himself po-
litically-if not in Nevada-at least
here. His course is generally well
known, and no one that have seen
is able to reconcile it with ordinary
principles of political rectitude and
honor. If he wanted to fight Stew
art be should have done it openly;
not by pretending to work in the
campaign harness with him and, in
his own fight, getting the benefit of
Stewards friendship, while himself
employing newspapers and mud
singers to defeat the very man that
made him what he is in political life.
Newlands says here that he would
have won, had his political manager
not been stricken with pneumonia at
the crucial moment. l have been
anxious to find out who this political
manager may be, l learned that our
old friend "Cleve" was i'll at Carson
during the fight. Can he mean
"Clevep
l think the Carson correspondent
of the Examiner ought to be sup
pressed. in the interest of the State.
There was published in the East a
number of dispatches in which your
local paper, the "News," was mem
toned as authority which contained
so much that was disgusting SANDER
about the State and her people as to
make every old Nevadan's blood boil.
The plain inference of it was that
there was not enough honesty, mo-
raj rectitude and virtue left in Neva-
ola to stock a fourth-rate penitentiary.
As the "News" | learn, supported
Mr.. Newlands, and found rectitude
in his course, l do not wonder that
that paper is unable to find much of
the same kind in the balance of the
State. Hence the libel.
The point of greatest interest in
the above is that Newlands is talking
in Washington just as did in San
Francisco after the Senatorial cleo
ton.
Newlands said in the Palace Hotel
in San Francisco, a few days after the
Senatorial vote, in the presence of an
ex Congressman and present Unit
ed States Judge, both of whom are
well known. eff my manager A. 9.
Cleveland at Carson had not taken
sick l would have won the fight,
and as one fact after another comes
to light it will be seen that the SEN
atorial contest was between Stewart
and Newlands and that no other
candidate had any chance whatever.
