NEWLANDS AND TIE PEOPLE

The people be has pretended to af-
fliate with and to represent are the
of the free coinage of gold
and silver, The main body of these
people spoke through the Silver State
Convention. They said they wanted
Stewart for Senator. They toi0 New
lands that he must support Stewart
for the Senate, and Newlauds said he
would do it. The convention told
Newlands that they would favor him
for reelection to the Lower House as
a free coinage a This was after
he had nosed around among them to
see whether they would tolerate his
desire for Stewards seat. Finding
that nobody was for him for the Sen
ate, he devoted himself to making
his election to Congress a ure thing,
by p1oughing with the opposition.
He could not afford to be the nominee
of the gold faction i'll the State with
which he has close business interests,
but through these interests he con-
trived to prevent a Republican no1u-
inatiOn for Congress. The Democrat
ic party made no nomination be
cause its objects were the same as
those Of the Silver patty. Mr.. Wren,
the candidate of the Populist party
and Of curse a silverman, alone OPP
posed his election. With the united
support of the Silver party, the
Democratic party and the Republican
party of course NewIand's election
was assured. If he had announced
during the campaign that he would
be a candidate for the |. S. Senate,
or that he would III any ell
deavor to interfere with the re-elect-
ion Of Senator Stewart, Mr.. Wren
would have been triumphantiy elect
ed, because he would have received
the votes of the genuine silver men OF
the State.
Mr.. Newlands had not then dis
covered that there was any demand
for him for the Senate. The men who
are now his nosiest champions were
then in favor of "anything to beat
Stewart but Newlands was for
Stewart. OF course he was. He
said he was. He protested he was.
He hoped to die if he was not.
How dare anybody say he was not for
Stewart? Did men think he was a
liar and a common tuckster &c be fo1
Stewart in public and against him in
private? He remained for Stewart
until Stewart's supporters for the
fourth time elected him to Congress.
and still ~Ostensibly he stayed fol
Stewart. Was he afraid to show his
hand in the presence of the people?
When did he make up his mind no
to be for Stewart? Was he hungering
and thirsting for Stewards election
until he struck WinnemuCCa? DID
those who were for 'anything to beat
Stewart know what he would sa,
when he got to Winne1nucca? Die
they try to brace him up before h
started for Washington to make hin
declare himself a candidate? Who
doubts this? How did he know S;
much when he got to Winnie
mucca about what the people wanted
that he had found out during tn
whole campaign? What great ligh
struck him at WinnemuCCa? Every
body knows he experienced 40 chang
at Winnenucca? They know that h
had not had the necessary amount Q
nerve to openly attempt the betraya
of the people until he was in ful
flight for Washington. He had bee,
the "a~"thing to beat Stewart fror
the beG, ming. He and his crew lat
ored 70 lie defeat of Silver men, an
for II eiection of Republicans to tn
Legislature wherever it was though
it would be possible to secure a legis
lative vote for Newlands. Never i
the history of American politics ha
any man claiming political respec'
ability descended to such treacher
and basenesS as Newlands has. w
do not believe there is a community {
a camp in the State in which a men
Der of the Legislature al hold up hi
head after voting for Newlands ft
the Senate under the circumstance
truthfully narrated above.
