Against Senator Stewart.
ANYTHING TO GET OFFICE.
RENO, Nev.. No0embcr /. L6Q8.

MENU, NV. /, IAOo.
HON. F. G.. NEWLANDs, Reno, Nev.:
SIR: If l or any other gentleman in
the state should pursue the course you
have with regard to the various nomina-
tons for Congress which you have re-
celved and prevented, l would be de
nounced as a trjckster, but ! refrain
from using any sacl term with refer
ence to yourself.
You obtained the nomination OF the
Silver party to which you profess to ne
long and pledged yourself to stand by
the principles of that party and the
pledges contained in the platform not
w~ithstanding your letter to Secretary
Gage. Your friends, Mr.. Joe Ryan, John
Dennis, and perhaps another, gave you
the committee nomination of the Demo-
cratic party for Congress. OF course you
were bound after accepting hat noull-
nation to comply with its platform and
pay the charges required for conducting
the campaign. In accepting the nomi-
nation for Congress of the Silver party
you Endorsed the platform which is
highly eulogistic of Senator Stewart,
recounting his faithful services in the
Senate and pledging you to support him
and every other nominee on the Silver
party ticket. In accepting the nomina-
ton on the Democratic platform you
were equally pledged to support the
principles of that party platform which
denounced Senator Stewart as a non
resident, as having accomplished moth
ing for the state, and by implication
pledged yourself 10 support every nomi-
nee on the Democratic ticket. You in
dorsed the denunciation of Senator
Stewart in that platform as a non
resident when you knew full well that
at the time you came to the state OF
Nevada he was in the Senate at Wash.
ington and you rented his house to &C.
quire a residence and run for Congress.
The Silver party platform and the
Democratic party platform made silver
the paramount issue, but you were no
satisfied with two nominations. From
the best information obtainable I be
lleve and charge that you manipulated
the Republican convention aud pre-
vented the nomination of a member O
Congress, and hat the ~Republica.
nominee for governor, Mr.. Mcmillan
assisted you in the scheme and declared
before the aucus of his party that h
would not run for governor if the part,
nominated a candidate for Congress.
In view of the foregoing, is itunfai
to presume that you have also indorset
: the Republican platform? The peopl,
| would like to know if there is any plat
form embodying any principle that yo1
would not indorse if by that means yol
could get Office?
s Yours, truly,
Y THOMAS WREN.

Should it be deemed wise to limit

Letter TO Gage.

Will that prevent him from furnish
ing Coffin. Dennis & Co. with ample
mean to bride the legislature? Proba-
bly, not, but his whole time will be oc-
cupied trying to maintain a string on
the money he puts ont SO that he can
haul it back if the members of the legis-
lature decline his brides.

Does this matter of sinking money
have any effect upon Mr.. Newlands?
Yes, and a very depressing effect. He
has very little confidence in himself,
much less in the balance of mankind.
He will undoubtedly suffer extreme
agony, fearing that his confidence may
be abused.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-01-15

Can it be supposed that Mr.. Newlands
has perfect confidence in Coffin, Dennis
& Co., and would it not be a breach of
confidence to sink the money and not
use it for the purpose of bribery? That
might be SO, but their desire to prevent
crime might overcome their scruples of
conscience.

Newlands says the government owns
the silver mines and can refuse to allow
IL more to be located and taken up.
Certainly the goldbugs a ask nothing
fairer than that.

agents.

Newlauds would have one advantage
if he was a Senator. He could enter all

evidently intend to convey the idea
that thSe has been too much of it pro-
duced, and you exercise your ingenuity
in suggesting devices by which silver
production may be curtailed. First, a
seigniorage or government tax, "greater
or less" that is, raised to whatever
point may be necessary to discourage
silver mining; and, second, a govern
ment prohibition to the location of new
mines, which you assume will be effec-
tive because those now privately owned
twill soon be exhausted" Now, if
this had been said by Bynum and Eckles
or Cleveland or any other of the gold
standard cranks, l should not have been
surprised and certainly should not lave
thought of criticising it. But in the
mouth of a professed silver advocate it
is such a giving away of position and
serious injury, unless exposed and de
nounced by those in whose behalf it is
assumed to be spoken. We are pre-
pared to meet our open enemies but we
cannot safely tolerate the Endorsement
of their theories by those regarded as
our advocates and protesting loyalty to
the cause of silver restoration. Posi-
bly,, Mr.. Newlands, YOU may be able to
give some explanation of your remark
able language and if sc you cannot
begin to make it too soon. If
these extracts fairly present your
views, then you have no right longer
to pose as a friend of oliver. Your
scheme is not only itnpracticable,
one of those i~llusory devices "to do
something for silver" which are contin-
ually bobbing up in goldbug literature,
but is all absolute surrender of all that
is vital in silver advocacy. When a man
who Il to be a champion OF silver
talks about a Regulation of coinage" to
preserve parity and ~deprecates any ex-
panSion of the money volume by which
prices might be increased and absolutely
suggests a limitation upon production
as a means Of preserving the purchasing
power of gold, he belongs on the other
side and if he persists in carry
ing a silver flag, deserves a court
martial. If you are in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the present ratio by the
United States independently of other
nations, you should take the first
opportunity to say so distinctly. There
is no halfway house i'll which you, more
than any one else, can take shelter. The
issue is simple and admits of nc compro
mise. Those who are unqualifedly fo1
it are on one side, and those who are not
including the whole scale from Cleve
land to Secretary Gage, are on the Other
side. Mr.. Newlands, you a choose
your side, but l protest against an effor
to occupy both. 1t is as impossible t.
!, serve both God and Mammon now as i
was two thousand years ago.
Yours respectfully,
, THOMAS WREN.

What if t should turn out that New
lands is really such a leatherhead as to
understand his own letter t Gage?
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-01-15

Newlands may be either very honest
very intelligent. His letter to Gage
shows that he cannot possibly be both.

Possession of a box in safety deposit

of necessity indicate vast wealth. The
secretary Of one of these concerns said
recently that most Of his customers were
persons of moderate means, and that the
price per box had to be low to meet their
needs. 1t ranges from $40 to 500 or more
per box per year. These receptacles are
hired to hold papers usually, not bonds.

house and works in an office has some
paper, say a contract or patent, or even
some letters Of personal value which he is
afraid to leave in his trunk, bureau

these $40 boxes, gets a key and has the

reception room where the very rich are

This secretary said: II do not think
that there is enough actual cash in our
vaults to make it worth the while of a
hrst-class burglar to attack our place. All
the cash in the community is held by the
banks, and the rest is in the pockets of
Tom, Dick and Harry and the cash
drawers of the shops, stores and offices

to Newport or Saratoga at $40 a day In
