War in the Silver Patry.
WALLACE CONTROLLED THE
MAJORITY.


house yesterday, rang the death knell
of that party, unless the faithful in the
ranks rise up in their might and over
throw the railroad boss and his Office
holding puppets.
Puppets? Yes. Aud the hand that
pulls the string is not gloved. There
is no attempt at concealment in Mr..
Wallace's methods. Governor Sadler
and Controller Davis are both his will
ing slaves. They displayed their vas
salship yesterday to the disguised
throng.
1t all came to light when the question
of fusion was brought up-the only sal
walton for the party at the coming cleo
ton. There were twenty two honest
and clear-sighted men in the conven-
tion-and one corpse, to say nothing OF
the Republicans.
George Nixon and VIII Sharon led
the silverites. The twenty-five were "A
unit. but so was Wallace and he voted
twenty six names,

Nothing worth recording happened
until the question of fusion with the
Democrats came up. 1t seems that a
cordial invitation had been extended
by the Democracy to unite against the
common foe.
A resolution was presented by A. Liv-
ingston and championed by Boss Wal
lace. The purpose of it was to side
track the fusion movement. This Is
the resolution.
"Resolyed, That the question of flu
sion with the other opponents OF the
gold trust properly belongs to the State
convention, and that it is not the prov
ince of the committee to dictate the
terms upon which fusion may be eff.
fected".
An amend ment, or substitute, was
offered by Judge Hutfaker, as follows
"Resolved, That it is the sense of the
committee that we accept the invita-
ton of the Democratic party and unite
with them In joint call for State con
vention for the nomination of candid
ates, and with them to combine and acI
as one political party in the coming
campaign.
A substitute for the substitute OF
amendment to the amend ment, wa
presented by H. Fl. Beck. 1t read:
"Resolved, That we accept the invita-
ton of the Democratic party, through
their State central committee, and is
sue call for State convention to NEE
at the same time and town with them
and it is hereby further
"Resolved, That a committee be APP
pointed by this body to confer with th'
Democratic State central committee t,
issue the call".
The fun then began to wage fast ant
furious. Wallace and his henchmei
strove with might and main to defea
the Beck resolution. Equal effort wa
made by the Sharon Nixon faction
which embraced the greater portion O
the delegates present.
When roll was called the proxies boa
the second substitute by the close scor
of % to %.
John l.. Considine spoke very fore
IDLY in favor of fusion, impugning tn
motives OF those who opposed it, calling
into question the faithfuness to part
of the Wallace gang from the capita
city.
1t was also brought to light that Mr.
Shatzline was voting the proxy Of G
A. Fletcher OF Eureka, man who ha
been six months in his grave.
Some one charged c. M. Sain c
Lovelock, who had his pockets stuffe'
with proxies, with being Republican
Others reiterated the charge, sayin
that Mr.. Sain had himself informe
them that he was Republican. job
Considine presented this chargein writ
ing and things began to look dark TO
the Sain votes. But Nate Rolf got
wink from Black Charley and decide
to let Mr.. Sain vote.
An appeal was taken from the rulin
of the chair but Mr.. Sain and rs othe
members of the convention voted tina
Nate had ruled wisely and well. TIL
amusing part OF the incident was a ques
ton put to the Lovelock editor, "Wi
you support the nominees OF the Silve
party?" The editor said nothing bu
transferred his proxies and walked on
of the room.
As the vote came up on the subst
tute there was little hesitation who
Mr.. Rosenthals name was called. Th
member from Esmeralda finally ar
nounced himself on the Wallace side {
the fence. This resolution was also lost
A recess was held during which tim
Mr.. Rosenthal squared himself by pre-
ducing the following substitute resoll
ton which passed with ease:
Resolved, That the communicate
of the Democratic party in regard
fusion is met with favor by this bod
