tor Under the circumstances the
young man may be pardoned, as II is
a matter of bread and butter but,
away down in his heart of hearts, he
knows Senator Newlands is not the
man wanted by the people Of Nevada.
If the voters should have any doubts
about this matter they are invited TO
read the following from the elder
WOODBURY., a gentleman who has the
respect and esteem of every citizen
of Nevada The elder Woodburn had
the following to say about Newlands
at the Piper Opera house in Virginia
City, October LIST, 1892, and he has
not changed his views to this day.
Following is the speech the Honor
able William Woodburn, Sr, stands
! by
Mr., Chairman and Gentlemen:
! know ii is not in accordance with
the rules OF political ethics to assail
an honorable political opponent in a
| political contest, but upon the prin.
ciples that necessity is superior to
the law, and upon the notorious fact

newspaper in the state, regardless of
their political complexion. | am com

contrast my character and claims
with his and present them for inspec-

/ Under such circumstances the yot-
ers of this state ought TO pardon me

self.
/ Who is he and what claims has he
that entitle him to represent Nevada

his debut in the famous Stockton con

4 States senate but George Hearst
smothered his puerile aspirations.
Il When repudiated in California, he
came to Nevada, changed his politics
on the miserable pretense that he
could not agree with Clevelands
views on the tariff, although he in.
dorsed him in Stockton and in the
senatorial campaign No one believes
that this favorite of fortune, this ac

Nevada by the saluberity of its eli

knew that our voting population il
small, and that he had the money
with which TO purchase the rotten
element.
He never raised his voice for silver
in California, but assumed to be its
champion as soon as he landed in
Nevada. AS soon as he built a resi-
dence in Reno he became candidate
for congress on the Republican ticket
and protested mat he was in perfect
accord with all the leading principles
of the Republican party,
Two years ago he was a candidate
for congress before the Republican
state convention held at Virginia City
When he found that he could not b,

while in California he was regarded
as a Democrat and participated il
