We very much fear that our arte>ian
friend will have a hard road to travel
in securing the democratic nomination
for a reelection to Congress. He is al
most universally denounced by the
press of the State. Indeed. we do not
know of a single paper. save Bradley's
apology tor an organ. the Elko hide
pendent, that supports him. The
White Pine Ne,rs of Yesterday thu al
ludes to the proposed discussion be-
tween Kendall and Su:ro:
We opine that a seat in the Lower
House of Congress is not a bad thing

the pay has been raised by the bill
which at the same time gave to each
roember a couple of Years or 50 OF in
creased back salary. We infer this
from the fact that Mr.. Kendall. after
seeking promotion 10 the Senatorial
toga. has entered formally for another
term as a Nevada Representative.
We can not but admire the perrin
acity. and indeed the pugnacity. of Mr..
Kendall. 1t has always been his GUS
tom heretofore to seek II his proper
antagonist with whom to dispute for
the prize. He seems in the present
juncture determined to enter the lists
with an adversary more worthy of his
STEEL, even when declining to contest
with him for Senatorial houorS. y wal

The gratitude of Mr.. Kendall can
not be questioned. for AZ all times when

this same subject. Noticing kenla.l's

We scarcely think the pubic

Kendall and Sutro. Those matters
doubtless interest those eentlenIen;
but certainly the people OF Nevada
care but little whether MIR. Ken

not. That is only an affair of those
gentlemen, i'll which the people has
neither art-nor part. We. therefore.
respectfully suggest that the di>nu.-
ants settle their private business with
out appealing to the public to act eth
err as moderator or arbitrator. There
is one point, however, that has
been brought ont by the dispute
that does concern the people. and
that il. that Mr.. Kendall says that
he is a candidate for recollection. OF
this we would simply remark. that OF
course, the Democratic party can Sc
lect whom they please as their candl-
date for Congress. We have no right
to complain, for it is a matter with
which we have no more concern than
with any other party nominations
We will. however take the liberty Of
remarking. that if Mr.. Kendall is re-
nominated. his opponent will surely
represent the State Of Nevada i'll the
next Congress.
Exit Kendall. You have out-lived
your usefulness and should take Il rest.
The Democratic party of Nevada in

back-salary grabbers. To be consist

under the painful necessity OF reIuir-
ing YOU to occupy a back seat. There
is no doubt about this matter.
