Above all no private agreement that
any relative of Mr.. Newlands may
have entered into with any other
private gentleman should be made
binding upon the Silver party. This
in its very nature is reasonable, and
it would better have been left
unsaid. No man with such a hope
ia view could show good faith, and he
committed a great wrong when he
accepted any Office in the organiza-
ton of the Silver party with such a
disloyal motive in hand.
The Silver Party State Central Com
mittee meets on the 18th. Although
M. Newlands may not see fit to lay
his troubles before it, yet it will be
bound to take cognizance OF all the
facts that have been brought out. 1t

perform, not only to see that Justice is
done in the present case, but to look

There is a popular demand that before

Why does Newlands an alleged
Silver man find a personal organ in
the News a Republican paper. He
must have used some sound money
arguments to have induced the News
to champion a free Silver man. Pos
sibly however he gave up his polite
al religion before mixing up with the
News.
Newlands has been left to the people
Of Nevada as a legacy of the Sharon
estate. The Legislature however
does not propose to probate the will.
