Newlands Shows Gage How to
Kill Silver.
His Infamy Written and Signed
BY His Own Hand.

No better reading can be found just
now by any citizen of Nevada than the
open letters of ex-Representat1ve Thos.
Wren to Representative Francis G..
Newlands, published before election,
and others hitherto unpublished, writ
ten since the election. They are
brought together and published in this
supplement i'll order that they may
be read as one production. Seldom
has a public man allowed his lnor-
dinate ambition to betrav him into such
a maze of grotesque ~follies, and absurd
and ridiculous inconsistencies, as Mr..
Wren so graphically describes and lays
at Newlands door; and seldom has 1t
been the fate of such a man to be
brought to task by so keen and merci-
less a critic as Mr.. Wren.
The edge of these letters is their truth,
certified to by Mr.. Newlands himself.
They do not deal so much i'll the opinions
of Mr.. Wren as they do in the very
words of his miserable victim. They
convict the professed silver champion
by his own testimony, written down by
himself, that he is the merest mounte-
bank, whose intercourse with his tenant
and Crouv, Secretary Gage, the keeper
of the Presidents gold conscience, is
wholly at variance with his loud and
elusive professions to the people OF
Nevada.
His letter to Mr.. Gage, reproduced in
part by Mr.. Wren, instructs that chief
priest of the gold worshipers how the
=. cause of silver coinage can be defeated
while appearing to the unwary to pre-
vail. He invites that official to CO
operate in forming a conspiracy for thai
purpose. Read it., and you will see
that this expression is not too strong
In that letter he treaCherOusly offers te
abandon the friends of free coinage ant
aid in the scheme to deliver them into
the hands of the enemy.
He would combine with all the Amer
can republics on a measure to discourage
the production of silver from the mine
already discovered, by refusing coinage
to silver bullion except upon the pay
ment of such a government ~selguorag'
as would leave no induCement for thu
producers to continue their labors. H
assures Mr.. Gage that the present mine
will all be worked out i'll five years. II
proposes a simpler remedy after that
which is for all the silver-producin!
to withdraw all silver mines hereafte
discovered from sale or other grant, an
not allow them to be worked.
How simple. First, no coinage 10
silver for five years, and, second, no 81
yer for coinage after that period. Thi
is nourishment for the cause of b1meta
lism, compared with which the brimston
treacle provided by Squeers for the boy
of his school in Dotheboy's Hall was
g%luttonous diet. How Newlands heal
must have bled for the cause of bime
allism while he was thus making hin
self solid with Secretary Gage by h
iron-clad anti-silver proposition.
Other delinquencies of Mr.. Newlant
are shown from the record. He has req
them, but makes no other reply than
whine because he is not allowed to dods
silver votes in Washington and hob NJ
and conspire with Gage against blmeta
lism without having it thrown in his fa'
here in Nevada. Poor Newlands WIRE
might we'll say to him, as Prince Hem
said to Falstaff under similar conditio,
when his sham heroisrn was being pun
tured: "What trick, what device, VIII
starting hole canst thou now find out
