Something Concerning the Senatorial
Struggle.

II becomes the duty Of the Republicans
of Ormsby county. to-day, to make selec-
ton of their representatives in the Coun-
" and State Conventions and it is prob
able that in SO doing an attempt at least
viii bemade b give some expression as to
the choice of the various salaried officers
Of the county as well as regards the pur-
poses and preferences of those who will
act as Delegates in tie State Convention
and those who, in the capacity of candi-
dates fog the Legislature viii, if elect
ed. have vote upon the Senatorial ques-
tion. Indeed. to deal frankly with the
question and avoiding an opinionless and
Sirserly manner of treating it, it is but
the truth to say that the struggle here to-
'iay, so far as there may be arg struggle,
Is to be with regard to choice between.
Governor Nye and Mr.. Jones for the I'm
tied States Senate. Concerning that
struggle let us say very clearly and dis
tinctly that we sympathize with what we
believe to be the preference of the majoI-
ity of our fellow citizens of Carson and
we honestly believe that Senator Nye en-
Joys that preference, and that no man can
faithfully represent this county in the
Legislature who would not be sure to
give him an unqualified and answering
support SO long as he may remain in the
field. We cculd not. in conscience, say
anything differing from this if we were
ever SO much opposed to his reelection.
And now let us say something regard
ing the manner in which some Of the
Republicar press of this State who are
Lending their influences for Mr.. Jones,
have thought fit to treat Mr. Nye. And
rs sample Of the hard abuse which has
been visited upon his head we reluctant
~ quote the following from the columns
OF the Territorial Enterprise Of the 10Th
instant. In an article exhorting the Re
publicans Of Virginia to sustain Mr.
Jones at the primaries. that paper says:
The choice, then, rests between James
W. Nye and John p. Jones' The former |
has been a purported representative of
Nevada for the past eight years. The
only notable success Of his long Senate
rial career is that he has succeeded in |
alternating most If his original friends
-As a hw-maker, he has been indolent, in
different and inefficient. As Senator,
ke has been more occupied by the jobs of
other States than by the interests Of his
own. 1t has been claimed that Mt least |
his Republicnnizm was infexible-yet he
has offended every thorough Republican
IL The State by securing the appointment
nf Conner of the Carson Mint for Chaun-
cy n. Notewrre, an underhanded oppo-
nent of the party. This was done. it is
alleged. to secure the support Of Doug
las county for Nye's re-election-thus
proving that the Senator's Republican
ism is not so stable bat that it may be
warped to serve his private interests.
Bat the most serious objection to Mr..
Nve is that he has become less Senator
of Nevatl, than n servant of the Rings.
Whenever the interests Of the two con-
f;ict, he will either remain passive or be
found on the side of the monopolists.
The strongest pressure that has been
used to force Mr.. Jones from the field ,
has been that of the railroad corpora-
lions, who have cOntentled that they ,
not the State Of Nevada be repre-
s-ntcd in Congress, and who have de-
Jared that their man for Senator is
Ialaes W. Nye. 1t is this well known
act Of his utter abandonment of his high
.ffice to wishes Of the mOnOpOlists that I
las shorn the Senator of the popular {
:rength he once Possessed; and the 9
ame fact. at this hour Of deadly conflict 9
ctween the public and the corporations, i
lakes his candidacy a mockery to the '
eople, and would render his reelection
popular calamity s
Now with regard to one conut in the c
bove Indictment let us say. that while a
e have no intention of palliatinS Mr.. O
'oteware's boiling of the p:lrty's nomin- b
lions two years ago we can vouch for it b
