it is ridiculous. For instanc,, one IF
these special interests serve |, accord
ing to the Star editor, was as iDilows:
One Of the owners of the papter wanted
the camp of Rosebud for a sheep range
and therefore this paper was instructed
to knock the camp. Great argument,
this, and to read it is to laugh. The
Star editor has Kolb and Dill, famous
fen producers, faded a mile.
Speeisl interests served. Yes, the
special interests served, the owners of
ths papsr, has been as follows:
dpln g. Taylor, Thomas Nelson, J..
n Harvey, Ed Reinhart, r. T. Evans
aud Thomas Mcconnell, would be each
better off financially had they not had
these special interests served, as the
Star editor insists has been served, and
great is the Star editor argument.
From a casual observance Of the men
individually it does not appear that
they need special interests served to
any great extent. Each appears to be
pretty well able to take care Of HIM
self, and their existence it does not
appear, has been aided by the Silver
State. The largest mercantile firm in
Nevada, that of E. Reinhart !. Co.,
would probably still be in existence
even though the Silver State had not
served their special interests, as the
Star editor says was served. 1t is even
safe to estimate that the firm would
probably have done as much business.
The Silver State may have helped
j. r. Harvey to sell some Of the thor
oughbred horses he raises in Paradise
have sold just as many. PeFaQe the
Silver State has helped raise the price
of beef for MT Evans or wool for
John G Taylor and Thomas Nelson.
Perhaps Thomas Mcconnell has real
lied a great special interest served.
Perhaps all these have been served.
At any rate the Star editor says they
have beer served, and who would be
~audacious enough to cross the u.itof
of the Star.
The Silver State has served one sDe-
cial interest and only one, and that the
interest of the Republican party II
Humboldt county. The instructions,
ana the only instructions given us as
publishers of the paper, and we doubt
not but what have peer given to all
past managers and publishers, has been:
publish a good clean newspaper, de-
voted to the interests of the Repub.
lican party" That is the special in
~terests you speak of. You and men,
bers of the Democratic party in Hum
boldt county have endeavored to put
other motives behind the paper and in
jure it's prestige. Some Democrats have

Republicans, be it said, they, too, have
believed you and have arrayed them.
selves against their own party paper,
have been blindfolded and used as tools
in the achievement of Democratic vic.
tories and Republican defeats.
Now, after the tumult and the shout.
ing is over at the Star editors mas.er.
full allegations of why the >: ,cr State
has been a bad paper We return t.
saner judgment. The Star editor and
the Star, and the Democrats OF Hum
boldt county and the people OF Hun'-
boldt county know why the Silver State
was !. world power (D in those other
days, why it was a good paper anil
pad a good rent, and further, why it
has been defective since 1T was pur-
chased by the W~inaemucca Publish ing
company, and in part why we have
changed the frequency Of pub ~ication.

though it was published u,prottably
in the past, it continued to be pub

for practically the same reasons that
you, Mr.. Star editor, on September rs, |
1898, cut it in size from a seven column
folio to a little five column sheet.
And Mr.. Star Editor, now as we say
"ta-ta' to you, for we must get to
other work, just let us give you a
little word of advice and suggestion
that you can put in your night cap
and sleep on. The Silver State will
continue to be published and will not
die as you have said it has died and
have attempted to sing the funeral re-
qiuem. Long after your familiar coun.

and you have passed to the inal bless.
edness which we sincerely hope is in
store for all such good men as you,
the Silver State will still be published.
