was for Harrison, and in 1892 he was
for Weaver. He declared in the CON

His chief recommendation is his
enormous wealth and the standing it
will give him in social circles in
Washington. His followers, who be

mllionaires destroyed silver and in
fated gold, and that is will be re
monetized only by the poor mans
representative, for silver is the poor
mans money and not the rich mans
money.
The candidate of the silver miners
of Nevada will doubtless create a
sensation in Washington society. Even
in Reno, he is accused of aping the
English syle, dress and manners.
1t is said that he has a score Of
horses with tails bobbed after the
English fashion; and that he has an
English coachman, trainer and teach
er. People do not object to vote for
bluff, honorable Englishman, or an
American citizen, but would prefer the
raw material to the manufactured
article.

Mr.. Newlands never rose above medi-

The following is the history of the
Republican convention held at Reno
on August 81, 1892: Francis c. New
lands was the only candidate for
Congress before that body. He was
placed in nomination by Trenmore
consent, and the nomination was sec
onded by myself A platform was con

qualified approval For fear OF offend

convention as requested, he sent
