| I learned to pull wires in the Washoe
Legislature, & my experience is, that when a bill is to be put through
a body like that, the only thing necessary to insure success is to get the
reporters to log-roll for it. - Letter to Jane Clemens, 9/25/1864 |

duty--which is to keep the public mind in a healthy state of excitement, and
experience has taught us that blood alone can do this.
- "A Duel Prevented," Virginia City Territorial Enterprise,
8/2/1863
