Ed. Nxws /: Some smart Aleck once
said "Brsvity 10 the soul OF witt" but
I don't think there arc many people in
Carson who ever heard the quotation; or
II they did, they believe 1t to be a mis-
representation. However, I will act on
the principle in this instance. and mako
this missive short. but sweet. Tho most
interesting topic here to-day is
The Senatorial Election.
The details Of which were contained in
your Geographic columns OF yesterday.
Therefore, to save repetition, I will not
touch ON them. but only relate a fow in
cidents connected Herewith:
In the Senate. Mr. Thompson strenu-
ously advocated the reference Of the
question Of Mr.. Sharon's citizenship to
the Judiciary Committee; but when it
came to voting for Senator he explained
that no was a Republican. and as 1t up.
peared that Mr.. Sharon was the choice
Of the Republican party. he would cast
his vote for him. which sensible an
nouncement was loudly %applauded.
In the House. Mr.. Wren, in explain
ing his vote. made a good point. Said
he: "Mr. Speaker. Mr.. Mitchell Is a
gentleman whom l admire. and one for
whom I should take pleasure In casting
my vote; but he is out OF the State, and
l cannot conscientiously vote for him.
Therefore. l cast my vote for William
Sharon" The point" was ''seen" by
applause.
MIR. Dow. also in the House. in cast
ing his vote. stated that he voted for o
citizen OF Nevada, II. X. Mitchell;"
anil Mr.. Frank. OF Elko, when his namo
was called, stated that he also voted for
o citizen of Nevada. William Sharon.
As both gentlemen voted for IA citizen
Of Nevada, there was no chance that
wc would have an alien foisted On us
for United States Senator.
The tilt between Assembly Beck and
Wren wa quite "a lively one. being ''nip
and tucA for some time; but tuck final
" got away with IL. Beck has purchased
a Webster's unabridged, out Of his sta
tionery allowance. and is hunting the
definition Of the word ''domicile."
Liquidation.
Under this head there Is but little TO
record. In the Senate, the papers In
the contested election casos, for the seats
from Churchill and Esneralda counties,
were referred to the Committee on Elec-
tons. But little interest seems to be
manifested in either case. though the
entire population OF Churchill county.
barring the County Tailor. who has a
boil on his heel. arc hero waiting anx-
iously for tho result. which II is impos.
sible at this time TO foreshadow.
Senator Thompson introduced q reso-
luton commanding our recreant Con-
g~ressional representatives to repair ut
once to the National Capitol, and pro-
coed to take part in tbs councils OF the
nation. which wal indefinitely post
poned. Senator Jones is now no his
way to Washington. and Mr.. Stewart il

Things.
