Yerington, Nevada,

Yerington, Nevada,
Dear Mr..
Again we are on the eve of an cleo
ton which means to us all that are
engaged exclusively in the sheep bust
ness our homes, our property and the
accumulations of a lifetime.
If the Republican party stands for
anything, it stands for protection.
A change of administration, re-
duction of the tariff, would abso-
lutely annihilate the sheep business.
1t therefore stands you in hand to
appoint yourself a committee of one,
work with your friends, organize clubs
whenever possible, and on election day
see that every voter goes to the polls
and votes the straight Republican
ticket. And last, but not least, you
know it takes some money to keep the
machinery moving.
Send us your check for $4,000. Re-
member the increased value of your
wool that you have in store, OF expect
than your contribution.
Do not, beg of you, be .penurious or
pessimistic and feel that you are giving
something away. 1t is al outlay that
will give you greater returns on the
investment than you have made before.
Very truly yours,
P. L. FLANAGAN.
Now, Mr.. Sheepman, Don't be
penuious, beg of YOU" but pungle up
that 5000 and help Mr.. Flanagan along
the road to the United States senate.
You certainly have not forgotten that
Mr.. Flanagan opposed instructions fol-
Taft at the Winnemucca convention
because he could not be elected. Send
him your check at once, as cit takes
some money to keep the machinery
moving"
But. seriously. is a man who writes
such letters fit person to represent
Nevada in the United States senate?

the order of business when George
Roberts. one of the Harrison delega-
ton sprang sensation by stating
that Harrison did not want the adj
journed meeting of the convention
and suggested that It be taken to
Spirit Lake or some other point.
The delegates seemed dumbfounded
and for time the noise and uproar
disappeared, delegates wondered II
they had not gone too far and the ST.
lence became almost painful, when
some one suggested that st. Maries
might entertain the delegates next
time. This was about to be adopted
when John Wood, of Harrison, said
the people would be pleased to have
the convention complete It's work
there and the invitation was accepted,
The convention then adjourned until
the time for completing the slate.

London, July 2. - Contrasted with
the recent orderly and impressive suf-
fragette demonstrations, yesterdays
demonstration was a comparative fall
ure and calculated rather to injure
them than advance the cause it in
tended to serve.
The police, mounted and on foot,
were in strong force in the vicinity
of parliament and for two or three
hours that neighborhood was the
scene of riots and skirmishes through
the efforts of the suffragettes to break
through the Gordon and reach the lob
by of the house of commons. Numer-
Gus ruseS and DISCUSSES were employ
ed for this purpose, but none succeed
ed, and in the end twenty-nine of the
women were arrested, including two
bold spirits who drove in cab to
Downing street and threw stones and
smashed the windows of the premier's
residence, and others who chartered
boats on the Thames and tried to
harangue the members of the house
on the terrace through megaphones.

torial election, as indicative of the
probability Of his carrying New York
and of attracting the independent
vote, secured him the Democratic
nomination for the presidency in 1884.
In the November election the popular
vote cast for Mr. Cleveland was 4.911,-
OH, as against 4,S48,334 cast for Mr..
Blaine.
Clevelands first administration was
marked by general prosperity; by the
admission of four new states (Wash
ington, Montana, North Dakota and
South Dakota) to the Union, and by
a freer use of the veto power than
had generally been exercised by other
presidents. On the meeting of con-
gress, in December, 1887, he devoted
his annual message mainly to the adj
vocacy of reduction in tariff dIries
in order to prevent the further in
crease of the surplus in the United
States treasury. This message occa-
stoned prolonged discussion of the
principles of protection and furnished
the issue in the national political cam
paign in 1883, when Mr.. Cleveland
was renominated by the Democrats
and Benjamin Harrison was chosen
as the Republican candidate. AL
though the former received a popular
majority larger than he had in 1884,
the latter had the greater number of
electoral votes, and accordingly on
March A. 1889, Mr.. Cleveland left
Washington and removed to New
York to engage in the practice of law.
Continued Same Policy.
Cleveland's second administration
was simply continuation of the pol
icy that ruled him during his first
term. New questions arose of the
greatest Importance, but he met them
all from precisely the same stand
point, and with the same purposes
