REASONS WHY.


Cannot the Enterprise and Gold Hill
Jews put forward some good reason
shy William Sharon should go to the |
senate. or some equally good reason why
General Williams, or any other Demo-
rat, should notgo there?-[ Virg. Chroni-
lie, 18th.
II the Chronicle man had read the two
papers that he thus apostrophises, be I
would have seen abundant reasons daily I
set forth why Sharon should be sent to .
the Senate OF the United States as CO.
adjutor of Mr.. Jones. On the other
hand, many reasons why wintry Will
liams, or any other Democrat, especially
of Win,ry Williams style, should not.
Sharon is the most eligible candidate
because he is more deeply and extensive
ly interested in the prosperity OF the
State of Nevada than any other man
within her borders. Mining is the great,
the only natural resource, OF this State;
William Sharon to-day has greater
stake involved in the successful develop
ment OF those mines than any other OF
her citizens. Whatever Injuries this sole
industry of Nevada, will hurt him.
Again, he is thoroughly, intimately ac-
ouainted with all the rsmifcations of the
business carried on within the State,
knows the condition Of her people, their
wants, and the precise character of the
legislation which may be needed to pro-
| tect their interests, and can more readily
than most men detect and expose that
which will be injurious. Are not these
reasons good, sound and substantial,
why Sharon should be chosen SENATOR
We think they are, have said so since
last March, and we say 80 still. We
think that Oh the Sd of November next
the people in the West and East will say
SO. Sharon has shown by his works that
lie has faith in the mineral resources OF
Nevada, and is not afraid to invest his
means in an endeavor to develope them.
He did so in Virginia, and the great hive
of industry now exhibited by that city
and its enverous is the result Of his
sagacity. He is pursuing like course
with Phoebe. He has confidence in the
permanence and profitable character of
our mines, and he, with others, are tax
ing the proper measures, though at a
vast expense, to demonstrate the truth
Or error of his expectations. Has such a
man no claims on the respect, goodwill
and the gratitude Of his fellow citizens?
We think he has. With his intimate
knowledge of the resources and bust
ness of the State, is he not likely to
make useful representative? We
think he is. Looking at the
sound judgment and clear headed
sagacity he has displayed in his own
affairs, is he not likely to act wisely and
beneficially in behalf of his constituents
and his country? We think he is. All
these are reasons, and sound ones too,
why William Sharon should be elected
United States Senator for Nevada.
Now turn to the latter portion of the
Chronicles interrogatory, why should
Williams not be elected to that high po-
sition? We do not know that it is neces-
sary to prove a negative. We, in our
turn, may ask, why should he be elect
ed? What has Wintry Williams done
for Nevada or her citizens? Did he
stand in the breach when all her
friends were fallen or fleeing? Is
any OF the hum of industry which
now surrounds him at Virgins
the result of his exertions? Die
he, by his sagacious forecast and delib
crate, steady, persevering courage
/ pluck the flower safety from the nettle
danger on behalf of the State2 No; q
thousand times no. He stood timerously
by, waiting to reap where he did not
SOW. He was perfectly willing to share,
and has shared, the benefits arising
from another's perseverance, but in the
hour of trial, in the time of doubt, diff
Guilty aud danger. Wintry Williams care
fully kept aloof. That is one reason
why Wintry Williams should not b,
elected Senator. Another is that hi
political views are not very sount
or reliable, and that the,
are not in accord with the great majorit,
8 of his constituents. Wintry Williams

r nothing good north of Mason & Dixon

outer darkness. We do not think so
We think there are good people north
, good people south and good people al

r that is another reason why we think h
. should not be elected Senator. To sun
, up, he has done nothing for the State
he is not in accord with majority of it
peope, nor with the general government
He has formed doubtful alliance with
dangerous adventurer; his political view
are unreliable and not calculated to de
serve the confidence of his constituents
| Altogether, we do not know more unf
t person for U. s. Senator, and this il
why we would not have him elected.
