ton as sent by the Secretary Of Stale.
here from me
James G. Sweeney.
Attorney General Of Nevada
When the matter first came before
Secretary Douglass he ask,l the ad-
vice of the Attorney General and was
told in the most positive terms that
he should not certify tha nominees Of
the Rump Convention MS the Silver
party nominees He affected to be per.
fectly satisfied with the advice Of At
torney General Sweeney and a few
days later certified the nominations
Of the Sadler- Howell Rump Convention
as if they were the regular nominees
of the Silver convention
All the ballot paper has been dis
tributed throughout the State and the
printing Of the ballots would CON-
, mence on Monday next In view of
the fact that on Monday morning a
suit will be instituted to prohibit the
various county clerks from printing
the names of the Rump convention
nominees on the ballots. Mr.. Sween-
ey took the precaution of saving the
State not less than ten thousand dol
lars expense should the Supreme Cour,
decide adversely to Mr.. Douglass
At any rate the several county
clerks will be restrained on Monday
from printing the ballots until the
matter has been determined by the
highest tribunal in the State. Attor-
ney General Sweeney is looking afte"
the interests of the State irrespective
of politics and his promp and decisive
action is commended by ALL
From indications it looks like sever-
al men would go behind the bars for
perjury for swearing to matters which
they knew to be false.
The fight is on to finish and those
who are in the conspiracy to deceive
. the voters of this State, in voting for
, fraudulent nominees will have time
to repent CT their jobbery.
