ing seen you. have neither the time nor inclination at present to go
to Reno to e you, but will take this means of conveying to you what
have to say.
| have been informed by an intimate friend of yours that you are
an honorable man, engaged in many business pursuits, and give little
or any part of your personal attention and time to the issuance of the
Nevada State Journal, which understand belongs to you | believe
and want to continue to believe that you r an honorable man, and it
did not SO believe | would not be wasting my time nor consuming
yours in writing this letter, which is written in the friendiest OF spirit
and with the idea of apprising you of some of the many articles which
cannot believe, as an honorable man, you would have allowed to APP
pear in your newspaper if the paper W under your personal atten-
ton, o that you can o T will sanction any such Misrepresentation or
countenance such conduct in the future without directing your re-
porters, before impugning the integrity of any man, personally or
politically, and above all in connection with 50 sacred a tribunal as the
supreme court of the state, without knowing what they n saying be-
fore publishing
am prompted in further writing you this letter a $ a matter OF
Justice to you, and to give you a opportunity of avertng the certain
trouble you will get into if irresponsible and INSCRIPTIONS reporters
ON your paper ire allowed to continue the publication of calumnlous

acts are subject to any righteous criticism and am not over-sensltlye
as to what is said even if in the political stress of times articles should
appear in the papers which may be a little off color, u not aum
mating, yet, in this respect do not believe any paper u the STANDING
OF the journal or any other paper, which desires to mamtah Tue re-
spect of its readers o II of the people of the state, should wlIfuny mis-
represent even a man politically if they know the same to be false ana
that before making any statements which detract from a man $ honor
even politically, the same should at least be investigated IL iouhu |"
be true before being published broadcast.

ing to a bitter opposition on my part to the denomination Il Dlcker-

nation. ,, y = = 'He has even proposed to be a Nixon candidate
for senator on the Democratic ticket sacrificing himself for the Re
publican candidate, if Nixon will support Bartlett for the guberna-
torial nomination.

- -1:oLJ I,,d 40 n cold and madulterated lie. In view
o the fact that this article has been copied in several papers through
out the state, you will do me the justice of so branding II such a com
