franchising Cleveland Democrats in
the Winnemucca convention, and that
he was making base attempt to vote

the infamy, even if | were doomed to

Hardly had the Reno convention
adjourned when Mr.. Newlands at
tempted strategical movement that
tor effrontery and inconsistency
stands without parallel. He came to
Carson and tried to induce O. H
Grey the Secretary of State, to certify
to the County Clerks of the State that
he was the regular nominee of the Re
publican convention, and hired an at
torney, Mr.. Deal, to mandamus in
case of refusal He knew that the
Secretary would recognize the Presi-
dental electors, and if they were reg
ularly nominated, my nomination
must have been regular; still

take place on the same ticket with
Harrison electors, whom he emphat-

The history of politics in no coun-
try has ever revealed such an anon
alous condition as exists in Nevada
The humiliatng spectacle is presented
of recent convert coming from for
eign State, and before he is dry be
hind the ears attempting to stifle free
speech, free thought and free ballot,
and compelling by power of wealth
thee political parties to recognize
him alone. Such an attempt has never
been made in this Republic before,

of Quakers, it would be the signal for
a revolution.

boast of his leutenants that they have
controlled the Silver convention, the
Democratic convention and on the

the Republican convention. They did
have the power, but fortunately know

a man with a spark OF honor in his
breast who can indorse his double
dealing action? What confidence can
be reposed in a man who declares
himself to be a Republican, and that

Harrison and Republicans when inter
viewing silver men? 1t seems that

Senate, but Newlands is only recent
importation, who has determined by
wealth. force and intimidation to foist
himself upon our people.
1t is a notorious fact that he is,
even now, increasing the force OF min
ers in more than one mine on the
Comstock in which he represents an
interest, intending to discharge them
the day after election. That he used
the power obtained by accidental

Republican convention at Reno to
obey his tyrannical mandates is well
known to every member of that body,

already had a taste of his proposed
methods of developing the farming IN
terests of the State.
He did make some investments as
evidence of his sincerity of his citizen

string on them. He purchased valu-
able sites for the storage of water and
bought and located thousands OF
acres of land below the projeced res
ervoirs which he offers to sell to the
State for the principle he advanced
with six per cent added.
To make his investment more pro

a multitude of farmers to deprive them
of the water privileges they have had
