Some Specimen Bricks.

the meeting of the Silver party
< lie Central Committee Friday after
noon, the Newlands contingent were rep
resented by a formidable array of for
cusic and Oratoricdl talent.
Comins, the pa~rliamentarian, Hutiaker,
the orator and Nixon, the nondescript,
were in all ithe consciousness of their
power of lung and willing to Tray their
antagonists off the face of the earth, II
needs be, From the opening OF the
meeting to the closing thereof, they We're
in evidence continually, and like Falls
taffs army, supporting each other feebly
with fustian eloquence, ragged logic and
bits of argume so tattered and torn that
the naked talsity of it was plainly APP
parent through it's shoddy garb. Happily
the members of the Committee were
men of bravery and withStood the
powerful temptation to fly the cave of
the winds into which the
room had been transformed by the en-
trance of Messrs. Hutfaker, Nixon and
COmins.
Had the honest members of the Com
mittee been as unsparing of words and as
sparing of mercy as the windy gentle
men referred to, however, they might
nave cost each of those worthless a very
bad quarter of an hour. \ very few
words will give an outline of some
questions that might have caused the
abrupt exit of the nervy gang, For in
stance:
MIR. Nixon. is it true that two years
ago you were offered 5000 by a certain
candidate to enter the field as an aSpi-
rant for the United States SenatOrship,
with a contingent fee of $4,000 more in
case you should be successful i'll creating
such a situation as would render impos-
sible the reelection of Senator Jones and
cause the possible election Of Congress-
: man Newlands to that place?
Were you not at that time the recipi-
ent Of favOrs from the maj you We're
treacherously seeking TO destroy?
Did you not shortly afterwards In con-
versation with Democratic leaders Offer
to carry yourself and your organ, the
Silver State. into their party?
IF these things are true, what right
have you here III a Silver Party gather
ing?"
: Nh. Comins. did you not two years
ago bolt the action Of the Silver Party
Convention of White Pine county ant
run against the man nominated by tina
Convention on behalf of A. c. CleVeIanI
indorse the Silver party State Platform
and did not A. c. Cleveland repudiat'
that platform, and have you in anywa!
since affirmed or denied yOur right It
IS give sue Endorsement?
AND if these things be true. Wha
right have you here in a gathering rel
r~escnting that C~onvention?'
Of Mr.. Huffaker, did you not two year
9 ago bolt the Silver party ticket in you
home county and work for the oppos
ton ticket? Did you not 90 before tn
Silver party State Convention as a .cand
~ date for Supreme Judge, and seeing you
. chances hopeless, withdraw from til
fight, and embittered by hat failure
Vi secure a nomination, write a letter d.
nOuncing that Convention?
AMI if these things are true. VIII
right have you in a Silver party gathe
ing and one representing that convention
These are few of the questions tn
might have been put to those specimen
bricks of the Newlands editice of treac
cry, falsehood and brazen audacity, b
u mercy Withheld the burning tongue
.ul inquiry and the conspirators were pc
SO united to go unscathed.
The friends of Assemblyman \
Go a are proud of his effort.
Speaker Allen had a firm and ju
hand.
