The Reno Gazette reprints Supreme Justice R. R. Bigelow’s critique of remonetizing silver. The piece argues it would slash miners and veterans’ income, while noting Bigelow’s Nevada tenure and planned move after his term. Bragg reportedly refrains from commenting on the article.
The Sacramento Bee maintains a silver stance while rivals Call and Chronicle shift with political winds. The Bee’s owner McClatchy aims to be seen as honest and steadfast editor, not seeking federal office. The piece contrasts newsroom loyalties and editorial integrity in the gold vs silver currency debate.
The Bee renounces McKinley and the gold standard, claiming the Republican party in California is dealt a severe blow. It portrays itself as a champion of the silver cause and publishes its stance in full, honoring its self respect and denouncing the Republican standard bearer.
Column from Elko Free Press staffer C H Sproule defends Nevada delegation at St Louis and praises Sproule as a loyal Republican. The piece criticizes Teller era opponents, notes Cleveland, Strother and Overton fell, and argues Sproule deserves higher office recognition. Also includes short ads and notices on rheumatism remedy, Nevada travel times, and local business postings.
