OSo
Hon. F. G. NEwLANDs, Reno, Ne0.::
SIR: You failure to procure legisla-
ton in the House in behalf of Nevada
has excited some inquiry. In order that
the people may Judge of your useful
ness as a Representative of Nevada l
will state from the record that the only
bill you had passed through the House
during the three terms in Congress is a
bill for $2oo, money due Marshal Moore
for services rendered after the expiration
OF his term of Office. During your
three terms, and previous to the last
session, you voted on various roll-calls
on the passage of bills, joint resolutions,
ETC., 147 times. You were absent during
r%oll-calls on passage of bills, joint reso-
lutlons, ETC., SIS times. This record is
from August 7, 1898, when you first took
your seat, until July "a, 1897.
MI. Newlands, this is a bad record for
a Nevada Representative. and if there
were no other reason, this inattention to
business on your part would account for
your utter failure to accomplish any,
thing for the benefit of the state.
You have dealt unfairly with the peo-
pie of Nevada in other ways. You have
constantly published in the papers, and
l understand you paid for it, an account
of pensions obtained for soldiers. You
did MOI obtain these pensions. They
were granted by the department, and
any part that you may have taken in it
was mere routine work and consisted in
referring the letters of applicants to the
proper departments and requesting
favorable action, which is the work of

Newlands says that his personal re-
lations with Stewart have been strained
for some time" He attributes it to the
alleged interference by Stewart with
his scheme to be the candidate for Con-
gress of two opposing parties. Stewart
did not SO interfere, and Newlands had
a dead sure thing of his own election to
Congress and could devote himself to
secretly directing the movements of
political braves to stab Stewart in the
back.

your clerk and required no action on
your part.
You also allowed your friends and
the press of this state to claim for Won
the authorship of the resolution annex
ing the Sandwich Islands. The reso-
luton tor the annexation of the Sand
wlch Islands was carefully prepared by
the committee on foreign relations of
the Senate, and after much deliberation
was reported to that body on the 10th
day OF March, 1898, and placed upon
the calendar. The war revenue bill oc-
cupled the attention of the Senate and
occasioned a delay in passing the an
nexation resolution. On the 4th dav of
May, 1898, nearly two months after it
was reported to the Senate. you intro
duced in the House the identical reso-
luton without the change of a word,
which was reported by Senator Davis,
chairman of Senate committee on for
elgn relation, and which was then on
the Senate calendar. 1t was we'll known
at the time that the majority of the
House was with the administration for
the annexation of the islands and the
Senate resolution passed the House ex-
actly as it was reported to the Senate.
notwithstanding these facts you allowed
1t to be published without contradiction
that you were the author of the resolu.
ton.
MIR. Newlands, you pose as an anti
man, and to prove that you are
such you had printed a speech against
the Central Pacific and circulated it in
Nevada. The people, however, under
stand you better than you imagine.
They know that you represent the
Sharon estate, which was largely made
up from the profits of the Virginia and
Truckee railroad, which road was as
largely subsidized by the counties of Sto-
rey and Ormsby and the Conlstock Min
Ing Companies, averaging it per mile, as
was the Central Pacific. Your fares and
fre1g hts on the V. & T. have ALWAYS
DNSh uouDiC luOSS Oh the central Pacific
the same service. Your road has been
obliged to maintain a powerful and cor.
rupt lobby in Carson to enable it to do
gross injustice to the people. If you
will assist even at this late day in reduc-
Ing the outrageously high charges on
the V. & 7. the people may forgive you
tor your attempt to deceive them.
Nevada has important interests to be
represented at Washington, and re-
qulres an industrious and faithful Rep
resentative who will not deceive the
people by pretending to serve them
when he does not, or claiming credit
which does not belong TO him. If your
course in Congress were known to the
people of Nevada, as shown by the
record, they would certainly choose
somebody else, because they cannot
afford to go on unrepresented.
Yours respectfully,
HOMAS WREN.

The political enemies of Stewart who
howled all through the campaign in
favor Of anything to beat him were just
al much the henchmen Of Newlands
then as they are now, and Newlands,
although he pretended to be for Stewart,
was just as much against him then as
he is now.

Mr.. Wren has positively denied that
he received from Senator Ste wart, or
through his agency, any of the damag.
ing material used by him In his open
letters against Newlands.

Mr.. Newland's explanation for break
ing his pledge to the silver state con-
vention that he would warmly support
Senator Stewart for reelection is that
Mr.. Sharon told one of Mr.. Stewards
supporters long before the election that
he intended to break the pledge.

1t may dawn upon Newlands' mind
before he is much older thst his pocket
book and not a seat in the Senate for
him is the objective point of his most
energetic supporters.

A STORY OF MIR. REED.

W. &. p. Breckenridge of Kentucky,
brought to Congress the reputation of a
"silver .tongued orator" which, in his
own estimation and that of his friends,
he b, added TO Ia the House of Represents
tives. Now, MIR. Reed does not hold Ia
high regard what might lie called the
tricks OF oratory, being hir;self u man
who speaks plainly ard to the point,
without effectiveness of language or ges-
ture or careful attention to meditation.
and Colonel breckenridge is exactly the
reverse. He could not speak five
minutes, even on any ordinary subject,
without falling into funeral tone, hard
to describe or characterize until Mr.. Reed
did so. The Colonel was holding forth
one day and his voice had fallen into its
usual mournful cadence. when Mr.. Reed
sauntered into the members lobby and
halted near an open doorway. After a
short pause, he turned to q Texas repre-
sentative with wh6m he had long been
chummy, and asked in "a drawing but
solemn toni: Judge, were you &C.
quainted with the deceased?' The cues
ton went the rounds, ana everybody saw
the point and enjoyed it, but it had no
effect ON Colonel Breckinridge's mode of
Oratory.
