Saturday's discussion centers on the gold standard with Sardis Summerfield, U S District Attorney, earning 3000 dollars yearly. Frank H Norcross supports Hanna and shifts parties seeking office in Washoe County. References to the Silver party, trusts, and political maneuvering surround Chandler and Binger Hermann in a critique of Republican prosperity versus Nevada prostration.
Let the voters of Nevada consider well the combinations at work in the State. On one side is William J Bryan, Francis G Newlands, the common people of Nevada, the young manhood of Nevada, the free coinage of silver, the upbuilding of Nevada.

Vardy editor of Wells Herald for publishing a false claim about the Comstock Glee Club. The letter questions political decency and hints at a desperate campaign tactic.
