statement tonight:
The issue in the legislative contest
of the last campaign was clearly Stew
art and anti-Stewart. The anti-Stew-
art forces won. They We're composed
of independents and silver party men,
To the democrats and republicans,
after the election, it was suggested that
a union of the anti-SteWart forces could
more easily be effected in favor Of my
candidacy than that of any other man.
l offered myself as a candidate, but
always stated that I would withdraw
in favor of any capable bimetallist
upon whom the anti-Stewart forces
could more easily combine.
Owing to divergence of view to
the method of union, the time at which
it should be effected and the candidate
the task of uniting the anti-Stewart;
forces was most difficult, and while we
We're engaged in efforts to unite these
forces Stewart succeeded In securing
sufficient votes to obtain majority
MY name therefore was not presented
to the legislature.
THE victory gained by the people at
the polls has been reversed in the legis-
lature and the Southern Pacific is VIC
torious.''
