SAX fRAScrsco. Sept. l. 1874.
EDrroR Nxws:-with NO election to
take place this Fall in California, our
citizens are nearly as much excited over
the approaching contest in Nevada as II
it were appointed 10 come of in our
own State. Nor is this at NIL strange.
seeing how intimately our people are
connected with yours, both by social
ties and business relationships. OF
your valuable mines and other product
i've properties, q largo proportion is
owned by Californians, who are thcro-
fore as much concerned in the election
Of local officers and Congressional Rep
r~esentatives rs II they resided in and eI-
ercised the elective franchise in Nevada.
The principal interest centsrs, oil
course, in the choice Of q United States
Senator. to succeed Mr.. Stewart. and 1t
must be admitted that VIM. Sharon
would suit the people Of this State bet
ter than any other candidate yet named
for that position. 1t has been objected
that Sharon lacks experience as a states
man-thnt he Is reserved, taciturn. and
not much praeticed in public speech
making. Well, I bslievs that would
suit US exactly. After the bad legisla-
tive record made by 30 many OF our So
called statesmen. and the blathsr OF pol.
iticians abundant in promise. but bar
rem in psrformance-men who make
pledges only to break them, and who
talk only to deceive II believe We could
stand n man OF Just this stripe, quiet,
sagacious, reticent Of his councils and OF
hard common sense. What q luxury IL
would be TO see = man like that in the
~Senats-cold. stern and uncompromis-
ing. Who would be able to unduly in
flusncc or dare to approach him with
any dishonorable propositions Do you,
then, by all mean send this mai Sha-
ron to the Senate, for these qualities
that his opponents = generally ascribe
to him, are those In which the members
Of that body have ever shown them
selves to be most deficient.

As TO some OF the parties who have
been named an aspirants to the Senator
ship from your State, it is not probable
that any one seriously thinks OF urging
their nominsnon, no~ese, rne pimu,s.
