parted from the dignity to be expected
of a candidate for the judiciary. During
Mr.. Bolivar's speech some irresponsible
a remark, and his whiskers snapped out
like a cross infant, There's old smarty;
he's always in my crowd" A very dig
nifed remark, indeed, for a candidate for
Supreme Judge.
Patsy said that the Democrats are to
blame for the advent of the Chinese to
his country and the Republicans are to
be credited with all efforts to keep them
out. He does not defend the trusts, but
says the tariff has no effect on them and
the Republican administration has regu-
lated and contro ed them and will con-
tinue to do. AS a clincher he said: II
apprehend hat this people is too intel
ligent to wish to control or regulate the
trusts That is a fair sample of Mr..
Patsy's logic and it permeates his en-
tire speech, and is about as convincing
as the talk of a green parrot.
He said President Roosevelt has three
times directed Acknowledgement Knox
to bring proceedings against the trusts.
If Patsy were a little more tactful he
would try and forget this fact and not
call attention to its result or lack of re-
suit. Such claims as he makes will not
hide the fact from the people that the
end of the great coal strike was not
brought about by Theodore Roosevelt
but by the Democratic press of the coun-
try and chiefly by the personal efforts of
William r. Hearst.
The next speaker was Sam Plat. can
didate for Attorney-General,a young man
of evident ability who will make an ex-
cellent public speaker when he learns
to discard the use of too many big words,
as all good speakers do sooner or la
ter. Mr.. Plat paid an eloquent tribute
of praise to Judge Hawley, whom he an
nounced as the next United States Sena-
tor from Nevada, to the delight of the
aforesaid narow-shouldered gold-bug con-
tingent in the front rows. Mr.. Plat
thinks that loyalty to Nevada means 10y
atty to Theodore Roosevelt and says that
this latter gentleman is the paramount
issue In Nevada today.
Judge Thomas P. Hawley, Republican
candidate supposedly for United States
Senator, next took the stand and told
his hearers that he felt greatly embar-
raised, but ii proved to be an ''embar-
ras de richesse'' of verbiage. The Judge
is a good speaker and made numerous tell
ing hits in his references to the Presi-
dent and the flag. THANK goodness the
Republican orators can always fall back
on a reference in stentorian tones to the
flag and elicit lots of noise from the
aforesaid narrow-shouldered "~elaqueurs. "
The Judge spoke very kindly of the other
candidates. especially Mr.. Button. He
paid a nice compliment to the ladies,
saying their influence was beyond praise
and that they We're the best vote getters
in the land. The Judge made a very
entertaining speech, praising Nevada ard
her hills and valleys most eloquentiy. He
said that he had lone honor 70 the State
on the bench and no one will deny this.
and no doubt he will continue to grace
that bench for years to come.

HANNA'S SACK Is HERE.
Republican Boss Sends Representative and
Money TO AID Sic wart.

The Virginia Chronicle says: The G..
o. p. sack is in Nevada. 1t arrived some
days since in care of a representative
OF the Republican national committee
with credentials direct from Mark Hanna
to VIM. M. Stewart. The tool of the Ohio
corruptionist is now in Reno in daily con-
sultation with Stewart.
This last invasion is the GROWING in
suit that Nevada has suffered at the
hands of William M. Stewart Not con-
tent to buy his way to the Senate on
several occasions, he has posted the
State among the Republicans of the East
as a rotten borough, just as that stigma
had been wiped away. He has told the
trusts that Nevada is devoid Of civic vir-
tue and State patriotism and that she is
the chattel of whoever may pay the price.
This is what the presence of Mark Han
mas agent in Reno means.
OF course Mr.. Stewards interest in the
matter proceeds like all his deeds, from
selfish motives. He wants to elect as
many hold-over State Senators as pos
sible this fall, that Nevada may have the
honor of being represented by him in the
United States Senate as long as he lives.
The fact that Mr.. Hanna is taking a
personal interest in the matter proves
to Nevada that Bryan knew what he was
talking about when he said thatl the
money issue is not dead The effort to
debauch and ~ens1ave this poor little State
with It's one Congressman shows that
the Republican leaders wish to be able
to say to the world that silver is dead,
and point to the conversion of Nevada
as the eliminating piece of evidence in
favor of that assertion.

Milwaukee, Oct. 15.-Postmaster
General Payne in an interview yester-
day said the forthcoming message OF
Roosevelt to congress would probably
recommend a permanent tariff com
mission.
Payne said the president twill prob
ably favor a reduction of import du-
ties upon the products which no lon
ger need protection. He is also in
clined to favor the creation Of a per-
manent tariff commission which can
at all times receive testimony subject
to expert consideration of the varying
interests of production and trade; sub
hitting their reports and recommends
tions to congress, as other depart
ments of the national government.
This will insure a thorough and care
full compilation of all information &C
cessible, and will save congressional
committees a vast amount of labor
Since the adjournment Of con-
gress," said Payne, "the overwhelm-
ing manifestations of the people in fa-
vor of reciprocity with Cuba indicate
the opposition to that measure has
faded away and that congress will at
an early day redeem the pledge of
Mckinley for reciprocal trade rela-
lions with the young republic"

SUPREME COURT WILL PASS
ON LEGAL TENDER AC

Washington, Oct. 15.-An important
case which raises the question of the
constitutionality of the legal tender
provisions of the Bland-Allison act of
1878 was submitted without argument
in the United States supreme court
yesterday. The case originated in
Michigan in 1897. Stephen Baldwin
was indebted to Frank A. Baker to the
extent of 1854, and in payment ten
dered 1854 silver dollars. Baker re-
fused to accept the silver, alleging it
was not legal money. Baldwin brought
suit in the state courts of Michigan to
compel the acceptance, and those
courts sustained his contention.
Baker brought his case to the SUI
preme court on a writ Of error.

GERMAN GOVERNMENT
AWAITING cAsrRo's FALL

Berlin, Oct. 15.-Dispatches of the
Associated Press from WiIlemstad,
announcing the apparent critical con-
dition of President Castro of Vene-
zuela, were communicated to the for
eign office here which has been ex-
pecting such news, but which has not
yet received cOnfirmatory dispatches
The position of Castro, according toof-
fetal intelligence, has been growing
precariOus and his ultimate downfall
is here considered probable. This is
the reason why the German claims
against Venezuela have not been
passed on for settlement. The gov
eminent of Germany is waiting until
a new administration is formed cap
able of carrying out the terms of set
tlement.
