A Reno Gazette reader letter targets Colcord former Nevada governor for urging voters to back the single gold standard and McKinley. The writer recalls past support, labels Colcord a weak debater, and accuses him of seeking federal favors like Judge BisgoLow, arguing Nevadans won’t tolerate leaders who insult them.
The Silver party is expected to renominate Francis G Newlands at the convention tomorrow. He has served four years in Congress championing silver, writing and debating the issue publicly and in the house. He is praised as a leading monetary thinker whose renomination would advance Western interests.
The Nevada Populists gathered in Reno proved their actions are aimed at sowing confusion and splitting the Bryan vote. They voted down a resolution to appoint a committee to confer with fellow silver advocates at Elko tomorrow, undermining unity with silver forces aligned to Hanna and the gold power.
The full electoral and state ticket was named. Nevada’s ability to marshal the silver vote for Bryan is debated as the Reno ticket may fall short of 500 statewide votes. The Silver convention in Elko is expected to fuse with the Democratic ticket for Bryan and Sewall and nominate a full state ticket, promising a united front and likely victory.
