However much men may distin.

vey the idea of completion So much

become well versed in the philosophy
OF success; they are masters Of the
situation by virtue OF their cxperi-
ence; they arc on friendly terms with
fate because they have not failed to

years counts ailirmatively and not

OF such men to promote the public

FRAUD BINDS NOBODY.

The Reno Journal in u lengthy re-
ply TO our article OF last week regard
ing the work Of the Democratic State
committee, at it's recent meeting, IN
sists that the committee had all tue
powers of a convention fresh from the
people dnd-that the action OF the con-
vention ID binding upon its members
and upon the party till u change by
proper authority is made
There it a wide difference Of opin-
ion between the Journal aud INDIE
PENDENT as to whether the committee
had the powers Of IA convention. Tho
Journal contends that it had but
loses sight OF the fact that in all con-
ventions proxies are recognized while
at the meeting OF the committee no
proxies were recognized. notwith-
standing the fact TINT proxies were
held 10y members OF the committee
present that we're instruction. to vote
against the election OF Silver party
representatives, to the national Dem
ocratic convention. II the commintee
had all the powers OF u convention,
why were not these proxies allowed a
voice III the proceedings? We're they
suppressed in the interest Of party
harmony or was it in pursuance OF a
scheme OF some II outside OF the
partyr 1t certainly WAS not the for.
mer.
So far rs the action OF the commit
tee binding those who were present
and took part i'll the proceedings is
concerned, the fraudulent and arbi.
trary action Gf a man or body of men
has no binding force upon an indi-
vidual, and much less upon a party,
who is Injured by that fraudulent or
arbitrary action. The journal must
not understand from this that the cd
itor Of the INDEPENDENT considers
himself injured by the action Of the
committee, for such is not the case.
But the fact is that We know Of ut
least two other good Democrats III
this county who aspired to the posi-
ton Of delegates to the National con.
vention. They were injured by the
action OF the committee in electing
Silver party delegates and could not
be blamed il they retaliated Mt tho
ballot box upon the me responsible
for the injury inflicted upon them.
Where the actions Of n convention are
fair and above board. they are bind
ing upon an individual or Il party.
But when that action is tainted by
fraud and forced upon a minority 10y
the arbitrary conduct or a presiding
officer, it loses its binding force and
becomes null and void.
The journal is the only pap in
the State that has discussed this
matter in it's editorial columns that
has dealt fairly with the IHDEpEY-
DENT and Ia not descended to abuse
Of lite editor. For this we are CRATE
full to the editor OF the journal.
