The Sacramento Union cannot let
sharon alone. During the campaign
tina. paper did its best to prevent the
return to the legislsure Of men who
vars favorable to the aspirations OF that
gentleman. The mse opposition OF the
great Californis formal We do not COM
plain about. Bver paper and every
person has the rieat to support or op-
nose whom they please. The Union,
with mspv oth~ papers. were not con-
tent with opposition; they sought to vii
a. .-.snceand Islander Sharon, simply,
vs s,ppo.e, because they had no respect
abIe yr decent weapon OF which they
cnaId avail themselves. Now that the
campaign is over. and to certain ex-
tent the issue settled, we thought these
fellows would let up. But no, every day
or two an exhibition Of spite and malice
Is made which shows how deeply their
defeat has CALLED them. In thus making
public their rage OF their discontinue,
we think they are i'll advised, as their
expressions of anger are not calculated
to increase respect for themselves or
confidence in the cause which they ad.
vocate. We have not thought it worth
while to take notice Of these indications
Of i'll will, thinking. that like most
scolds, though beaten, it might comfort
them to have the last word. The neal
approach Of the time for the meeting Of
the legislature induces US to say a few
words on the subject. Not that we have
any fear but that the gentlemen elected
to the legislature OF the same political
leanings as Mr.. Sharon are at all likely
to ignore bis claims, but to show that at
this present moment he is likely to make
the best representative that Nevada can
chose from the list OF candidates for
Senatorial honors. First and fore
most. at this time Sharon has
o greater stake in the continued
prosperity of the mining interests Of
Nevada than any other living man.
Now, il it is recollected, that when we
say the mining interests, that includes
all the material interests of Nevada, for
everything depends upon the mines of
our State. then it will b, seen how vastly
important it is, that a man should repre-
sent Nevada who has deep and abiding
interest in the success Of her only branch
of industry. Turn now to Washington,
there we find Jack-o' Lantern Sutro
already busily at work, laying snares in
which to catch the great mines of the
Comstock. The receut important dis
coveries Of immense mssse of rich ore
have served to sharpen, il it were possi-
bic, the edge of his desire to conhscate
other peoples property, and already is
be busy with venal Congress. that is,
kicking its last dirty agony and perfectly
willing to spite the people that have told
them to pass into such oblivion as their
evil deeds will permit. Sutro has thus
excellent material to work upon, in the
persons of number OF reckless disreput-
able corrupt men, who are ready for any
thing. At such juncture the presence
Of Mr.. Sharon in the Senate will be oil
peculiar value. Aided by Senator Jones,
and mutually assisting each other, nc
matter what the House may do, they in
the Senate will have a commanding in.
fuence, and by their united exertions
will probably be able to defeat the mis-
chievous legislation which Sutro will be
ready to prompt, and doubtless will find
tools mean enough to attempt to carry
into execution. Looking therefore a,
the situation as it at present stands, the
election Of Sharon as Senator becomes
more than ever matter of importance
to the State, and will tend greatly to the
protection and conservation Of thoss
mining interests on which the welfare o
the people of the whole State depends.
