RENO, NEVADA, JAN. 4, 1899.
EDITOR CARSON APPEAL:
| read in last evenings Gazette a COM
munication signed by Mr.. Mcmillan, late
Republican candidate for Governor of
the State, denying the charge that he
told members of the Convention that
nominated him, that he would not take
the nomination for Governor unless the
Convention passed the nomination for
Congress, and he charges me in some
what Incorporate language with having
misrepresented him, and further says,
that he has become satisfied upon i'll
quiry that the charge was started by a
resident of Reno, who is neither a voter
nor a citizen of the United States" l
might say in the language of Mr.. Nc
MILAN that this on his part
"is absolutely FALSE but that would 1T
be parliamentary. Gentlemen who a"e
the equals of Mr.. Mcmillan i'll every
respect, who were members Of the Re
publican Convention that nominated
him. have stated repeatedly that Mr., Nc
MILAN did refuse to take the nOnllna-
ton unless the nomination for Congress
Is passed. ~ Nv ~ NV
know that these gentlemen would care
to have their names dragged into a con-
trOversy of this character, but | have no
;. doubt that they have made the statement
repeatedly to other persons besides my
self, because, while the Convention was
in session the report was COMMON prop
erty with nearly every n who took IN
, interest in the dOingS of the Conventions.
Mr.. Mcmillan Will permit me, therefore,
to continue in the belief that he says that
- he cares nothing about that he did
refuse to take the Republican nominal
ton for Governor unless the Convention
would pass the nomination for Congress,
Q II regard to the statement made by
the editor of the Gazette that the friends
n of Mr.. NewlandS were not active in de
feating a nomination for Congress by tbs
Republican Convention, [ have only tC
say that if the editor does not know
better he ought to know better. All tina
occurred in the caucus held ny the mem
hers OF the Republican Convention witt
special reference to that subject beCaEn
" public property almo& imInediafel.
'. after the adjournment Of the caucUs an'
II it is a we'll known fact that the friends c
MIR. Newlands joined with other PARTIES
who were not especially the friends c
, Hir. NGwlands, in debating a nOminatiO
While the Convention was vet in sessio
l was informed ba Republicans. ahOU
< whose veracity l have no doubt, that tn
frien Is of MIR. Nrwlands were labOrin
to prevent IA nomination and STAT other
not mis- friends. We're aiding them fC
be reasons entirely aside from the cand
ire dacy of Mr.. Newlands.
/ charged Mr.. Newlands and his frienC
.uo with interfering in this matter in II
Republican Convention III my speecht

month and a half before the election, AT
the charge aret with nc denial, in pupil
at at least, by either Mr.. Nawlands or h
'U' friends or Mr.. Mcmillan and his friend

object in view that Iran see except

Mcmillan writes this letter for public

late election. Both OF us nave put
