THE ANTI-sHARON DUET.

The Virginia Chronicle says that Shar-
on made millions from our mines, which
he withdraws from this State and invests |
in another. How far this is from the
truth the very denunciations of bis enc
mics viii prove. Sutro has been talking
for some time about the crooked railroad, |
the wood pile, the Union Mill and Min
ing Company and the Palisade and Eure-
ka Railroad. Sutro says that Sharon is
monopolist, because he has engaged in
and controls those enterprises. Yet,
on the other hand, comes the Chronicle,
and says tina. he has made millions in
the State and will not reinvest them
here. These two tales will not jibe.
Something must be wrong. The fact is, |
that Sutro and his Independent repre-
sents tunnel. Sharon opposes his tun-
mel because it is simply an attempt to
confseate other peoples property, hence
arises Sutro's enmity. The Chronicle
represents Williams, and Williams rep

United States Senator, and Sharon is the
only stumbling block in his way, and
that accounts for Williams hatred
Both these discordant elements agree II
nothing but opposing Sharon. For ths
rest, they ljetest each other, and one
would be quite willing that the other
should fall to the bottomless depths OF
perdition, provided the first could gain
his own ends. To give some color to
their pretentions they both lug in the
dear people. OH it is remarkable what
unselfish patriots they have suddenly
become. One tells the public that they
are slaves. The other bids them to arise
and assert their freedom. The first
quotes Grecian and Roman history. The
second cooks up some filthy scandal, in
which public harlots cut a prominent
figure. Then again shrieks No One: he
has had the impudence, the daring, to
ask for political preferment. No. Two
yells: do not be his serfs and let him place
his iron heel upon your necks. So it
goes on, until one is fairly deafened and
wearied with the continual senseless
clamor which has no more reason, than
the chattering OF SO many parrots, and
no more truth than one OF Kellogg S tele-
grams. What is all this pother about
Simply this One OF the most promi-
nent citizens of Nevada, who is more in
terested in its continued prosperity than
any other living man, has aspired to
represent the State in the Senate of the
United States-nothing more. In con-
sequence of this reasonable and honora-
bic ambition, two men, one who wants
the same position; and the other, who is
promoting pet scheme, raise clamor
that would put to shame q frst.class
Chinese orchestra. II these fellows
think that this style of argument viii
win with the citizens of Nevada, the,
will ere long find their mistake. TIT
people know their friends, know
who helped them, when no on,
else would. They nlso know who wa:
true to the Union, who helped ant
cheered the cause il the success o
which the Nations existence was in
volved. They know that that man was
Sharon. They, on the other hand,
know that in the time of the Nation s
trials, that the heart of Williams beat in
consonance with the enemies Of the
Government, with the men who were
trying to disrupt the Union and destroy
the Nation. They know this, and the.
also know that when the fortunes Q
Nevada were at its lowest ebb, for ON tn
prosperity of the Comstock mines dc
pended, in great measure the pro!
perity of the State, they know that Wi
liams did not keep reproductive mine
at work. He did not venture hundred
OF thousands on the hazard of the Con
stock proving remunerative. Share
did, and to paraphrase from Macaule,
''as he was constant in our ills, so sha
he be joyous in our joy" and that fee
ing will be found to be wonderfully il
fictitious on the day OF the next election
