TIRE CHIEF ISSUE IN NEVADA.
The telegraph informs US that the
Senate Judiciary Committee, to whom
was referred ths Sargent Mining Bill
with the Negley Amendment will report
agains' that measure. How reliable
this piece of information is. We do not
know. Probably it is trae. Certainly
It is to be hoped that it is. This refers
to matter Of 90 great moment to the
people of this State that it will prove
scarcely less than the most important
question at issue in the coming election.
The largest interest in the State; the
largest single interest on the Pacific
coast; and a. related to the present
pressing question of resumption of
specie payments, the Comstock Ledge
and its unimpeded working is the most
momentous question with which the
voters of Nevada have any concern.
This question will take a leading part in
the coming political campaign because
Sutro has forced it upon ms. By his
persistency he has been enabled to turn
aside the current and common course OF
legislation at Washington: This is OBJ
servable in his extraordinary dealings
with the senate Committee on Mines
and Mining. On his own motion he
takes this purely mining question out of
the hands of that committee and has it
referred to the Judiciary Committee A
man who can thus effect the course of
legislative action in Congress is not to
be ignored in the State upon whose
largest interest his Screenings are in
tended to exert q direct and unavoidable
influence.
As already announced, Sutro will take
. hand in the coming Senatorial contest.
He boasts that he will name Stewards
successor. This means that he will re-
Duke Jones and Stewart, and illustrate
to Congress that those Senators have
misrepresented their constituents in
opposing him. Already in Virginia
City. daily paper. started by. and de-
voted to, the Sutro Tunnel interest, has
opened the campaign against MIR.
Sharon. He is singled out for attack
because of his known opposition to
Sutro and his schemes. This il the
issue. There is no avoiding it. Sutro
recognizes the fact that Mr.. Sharon will.
in all likelihood. be accepted by the Re-
publicans of Nevada as their candidate
for the Senate. Hence the attitude Of
his organ. The Daily Lndependesd. The
question forced upon the voters of this
State 10 . choice between Sharon, who
the legitimate mining inter-
ests Of Nevada. and Sutro. Who presents
himself and seeks to array Congress in
an attack upon these interests. Jones
and Stewart have told the Senate that
this man Sutro 10 trying to throttle the
great industry upon which rest the
hopes of Western Nevada; and they
ask, in the name of this people. that his
piratical purposes be not forwarded by
Congressional enactment. Sharon. a
Constocksr. . downright
opponent of Sutro, offers himself as
Senator Jones' colleague and supporter
in this struggle. Sutro accepts the is
sue and begins his opposition. But one
course presents itself. There is no mid
die ground. because there is no compro-
mise. Sutro is an able general, and
loses no advantages. He insists upon
the decision of the people. Sharon &C.
cepts the challenge. The decision rests |
with the whole Republican party of Ne
vada. In making that decision they
must sustain or repudiate the action OF
their Senators in Congress. The ques-
lion is as inevitable as the Recurrence OF
; day of election. As represented by
men, the choice lies between Sharon and
Sutro. Any other view of the c.ise is a
mere evasion.
