POLITICAL soroheads are the worst bore OF
all, for they neither get Eelp or sympa-
thy. They are simply boilers, nothing
more, and like an erratic wrolite wander.
ing in space, they are seen for moment
and then disappear forever in the deep
est, darkest, dunnest shades OF hopeless
oblivion. As to talking about Sharon in
the style affected by Republican, as
the boys say, "there is nothing IN 1t.
Republican" neither believes it, or any
one else-even Sutro does not believe 1t
nor yet the Independent man or any
ono else with three grains OF sense. VI
course, political opponents will disagree
with and oppose Sharon, and beat him ii
they can. That is all right Such are
the chances of political warfare, which
all must take, when they enter into the
arena of public life and struggle for po-
litical preferment. That is all very well
but this thing of dragging in the revered
name of mother, and saying tina. man
would hang his head if he voted for
Sharon. That style OF argument will
not answer, Sharon stands to-day the
equal OF any man on the soil of Nevada.
His career is known, and has been micro
scopically scrutinized with keen, unpity-
ing eyes, who would welcome with a
fierce Joy any we'll grounded charge with

They have failed; signally, miserabl,
failed, and the only accusation the.
could bring against him, was that he wa

qualification? He did not steal hi
riches. He did not make those richie

dabbling in Credit Mobilier. He mad

made, and by that means bringing to
light the enormous stores of metallic
wealth, that until then, had lain bidder
in the bosom of the Comstock. That il
how he made his money, and there i
not tear or stain on it. Leaving tn
matter of wealth on one side, Sharo
stands to-day before the people of Neva
da and the whole country, as the incal
nation of that indomitable enterprise an
clear-headed sagacity which has con
PEELED the giant mountains of the Sta.
to yield the vast riches that have laid S
long within their strong grasp. 1t
sheer puerile folly to say that the ma
who had the breadth of view, the stead
fast pertinacity, the sound Judgment tina
Sharon has splayed-which has place
him where he is-it is folly to say tina
he lacks those qualities that are necessa
ry TO make him an intelligent and usefu
legislator. He has those qualities ha
them in abundance and by the aid o
those powers he will make an equal,
favorable impression in the United State
Senate as his future coadjutor did, Sen
ator Jones. In conclusion, we woull
say, that il voting for Sharon's support
ers will cause an elector to chang hi
head on the third of next November,
vast majority of the people of Nevad
will he in that condition.
