PASeS oao OACnpioiy
members Of the Nevada Legislature
have spent the entire day at church,
and between services they have been
button-holed and buzzed by the candi-
dates-whose name Is legion" The
ormsby House corner Is the grand rem
devious and all day long It has been
crowded with members, candidates,
lobbyists, members Of the "Third
House," and "lookers on In Vienna"
Tonight things are waxing particu-
larly warm, and many who to-day
thought they had it sure, are now over
come by a feeling Of weakness; while
others who this morning thought they
had no show, have gained confidence
In themselves this evening. As Cen
eral Jack Holmes says, " You can't al
ways sometimes most generally tell. -
l never In my life saw so many men
that had q sure thing. Each and every
particular candidate claims TO have
the :" inside track" and from the in
nermost depths of my soul I wish they
could all obtain the positions to which
they aspire, as I hate to see 50 many
promising young patriots enyeloped in
the pail Of disappointment.
The Candidates.
The candidates for Speaker Of the
House are O. II. Grey Of White Pine,
DIR. Bowman Of Nye, and James Craw-
ford Of Lyon. It seems to be general
ly conceded that the fight is-as 1t
stands at present-between Mr.. Grey
and DR.. Bowman; but there Is no tel
ling what complexion the affair will
assume by tomorrow. As nea as |
can learn, the fight between Bowman
and Grey Is at present pretty nearly
an even one w.
For Sergeant-at-Arms Of the House
there are Dick Paddock, Maj. Gadeu,
both Of Storey; Ed. Kiesele of White
Pine, and John Leconey. They are
all "rustling' their best, and although
the Major Is the most energetic cuss |
ever saw, I think Dick Paddock will
get away" with the baggage.
For Chief Clerk Of the House, I have
heard no one mentioned but Andy
Whitford, and it seems to be conceded
that he Is to be tie man.
For Engrossing Clerk Of the House
have only heard mentioned the name
Of Billy Brophy Of Nye, and young
johnson, son Of the late Ex-Governor
Johnson, but / have no idea as to
who has the best Of it.
For Secretary Of the Senate, Charley
Bicknell Is generally conceded to be
the man, as he does not appear to have
any opposition worth mentioning. For
Engrossing Clerk Of the Senate the
tight Is between Chauncey Stewart
and Joseph Josephs, both Of Storey.
believe Chauncey has a hole or two

A number Of Senators from the
"Great East" are looking around for
a candidate for Sergeant-at-Arms OF
the Senate, but can find no one that
cares to have the Office, and there |.
danger of its going a begging for want
Of al incumbent. as there are only AZ
men now here that would be willing
to have the position thrust upon them.
For this position | have heard men,

land, and the Lord only knows how
many more, and a man would be a
good guesser indeed that could tell
anything at all about how the matter
stands. There are rumors Of combiu-
ations. coalitions and connubiatioms,
and If one can begin TO believe one
half he hears, the whole darned outfit
have made combinations with the
other, and II n gets elected, the bal.
ance will share the honors, profits, and
emoluments Of the office. In addition
to candidates for the offices above men,
toned, there Is a small army Of cali
didateS for minor positions-pages,
messengers, fireman, committee clerks,
and the like.
The Lobby.
The Lobby Is we'll represented. ma
ny old and respected members being
already on hand, aud more expected
here tomorrow. Our sister State OF
California, with its usual generosity,
has kindly consented to furnish us
with a few extra ones, and our sage
brush members will now have an OPP
portunity Of witnessing some exam
Piles Of the way In which their more
enlightened and experienced brethren
Of the Golden State" do up these lit
tie things. OF course there are plenty
Of the old standby Of our own State,
and we could just rs we'll dispense
with any additions from the other
side, but still we cannot but feel CRATE
full to those whole-hearted Californi-
ans, who with sacrificing unsel1shness,
leave homes and friends, and in spite
Of the Indictment season Of the year and
bad roads, come over here to so kindly
direct our legislation.

This matter of the election Of U. S.
Senator, which was supposed would be
the exciting feature Of the session,
seems to have dropped out Of the pub
lie mind, and You hardly hear it men,
toned. Mr.. Jones Is still below, and
it Is said-with what truth l know not
that he will not put In an appear
ance until after the organization Is eff
fected. II such Is the case, It's u cum
ming move on his part, for were he
here he'd get his ears buzzed clean out
Of his head. At present there is
not even any talk Of opposition to
Jones, and l suppose that just as soon
rs the Houses a get organized they
will meet in joint convention and elect
him without any fuse or bother. OF
course the Democrats will give their
vote-as a complimentary vote-to a
Democrat. Major Mccoy, Of Lander,
Is generally conceded to be the gentle
man that will be the recipient.
1t Is expected that there will be some
delay in organizing the Senate, owing
to the contested White Pine county
seats. Not being sufficiently up In
law to form al opinion Of the merits
| of the case, l cannot attempt to say
what its termination Is likely to be.
