THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION This
body meets on the oath at Winnemueca. A
full State ticket, including Congressman, is
to be placed in the field. The Gubernatorial
contest promises to excite the greatest share of
public attention, Who will be nominated for
Governor? That's the question. The fight seems
to be between DR.. Hazlett, of Lyon, and Sem
ator Stevenson, of Storey. Both are clever
gentlemen, though one is available as candi-
date for Governor. and the other is not. Per-
sonally, we hold Mr.. Stevenson in the highest
esteem, yet he has no earthly show of being
elected IL nominated. The record which he
made for himself two years ago renders his
candidature utterly hopeless. He was the
head and front in the Senate of the scheme to
release the Rhodes hondmen favored Sun
day law and did all in his power to repeal the
gaming license statute and to enact in its
stead law which would not only suppress
gambling bnt also make it felony to deal any
kind of banking game. 1t WAS also understood
that he desired the passage of some kind of
temperance law. With this record were he
nominated, the saloon men and gambling
fraternity all over the State would most
assuredly go for his scalp. No man can hope
to win in Nevada, as it is, with these forces
arrayed against him. The whisky and gambling
interest control several thousand votes in this
State. The great parties being very evenly
divided neither can hope to succeed in carry
ing Gubernatoriai candidate to victory with
an element of SO much strength solid against
him. Such would undoubtedly be the case in
the event of Mr. Stevenson's nomination by
the Winnemucca Convention. Objections of
this nature cannot be raised against DR.. HaZ-
lett He is liberal-minded gentleman. and
being the author of the excellent financial
policy which brought the State out of its EN-
barrassments, can hardly fail of receiving the
Republican nomination. While 1t is no affair
of ours. we can assure our Republican friends
that the Doctor is by long odds their strongest

A WORD TO THE WIsE.-Whenever M attempt
is made by inuendoes, that dare not shape
themselves into positive assertions, to cast
false light upon truth, it is a sign of unquali-
fed justification. Now it has become truism,
acknowledged throughout the community,
that Banner Brothers. the great clothiers, pos
sess such facilities for purchasing of the raw
material, and for the manufacturing of fine
clothing, that competition has become an alb
solute failure; and when small concerns lns1n-
uate that, they can sell as good an article of
clothing at as low prices as Banner Brothers
do, they simply intend to caavey meaning
that they dare not assert and cannot substa-
tiate. We throw down the gauntlet OF defiance
to these vaunters, and challenge them, one and
all. to benefit the public we have done, and
are doing by selling fine clothing at low prices.
We can afford to sell clothing much cheaper

1O6 Duane street, N. Y, and wholesale house
at 204 and 206 Sansome street. San Francisco,
we need not pay importers manufacturers and
jobbers' profits, as the small concerns are com,
PEELED to, and consequently we can sell at the
same prices as the small concerns must pay for
their goods. Having two large salesrooms
filled with stylish and fine clothing, We give
every customer an immence stock to select
from, and do not require them to choose from
a small and poorly assorted parcel of shoddy
goods, which third-rate houses call an assort-
ment. Moreover, we receive new goods every
day. At present we are clearing out our entire
stock of Summer clothing. We offer them at
prices which leave no excuse for not purchas.
