EDITORS SENTINEL: Tue political
msnipuiators in this vicinity are busy
ct work putting up their jobs for the
coming camraign, which will soon
open, and bids fair to be . very excii-
ing As your correspondent is
somewhat posted as to the moves OF
the political tricksters, be will en-
deavor to keep the readers OF the SEN
TINEL posted as to what is going ON
in this part Of the State.
REPUBLICANS DISCOURAGED.
1t 10 generally conceded by those
we'll verssd in politics that the Repub
iican party will have q good hard fight
on their hands next year. The civil
. rvice reform. and Southern policy Of
President Hayes have caused Q luke
warmness among many Of the leaders
Of that grand old party; and l have no
doubt that portion Of them will he
found working with the Democracy in
the coming campaign. The Demo
Gratis are active and wide-awxke, and
will put . ticket in the field which will
be hard To beat. As they have a ms
jority of the hold over Senators, IN the
State Senate, The chances OF their get
ting control Of the Legislature are
good.
TIE UNITED STATES SENATOR.
1t 10 positively asserted by those
who have opportunity to know, that
j. p. Jones will not he . candidate for
the United States Senate, for the reason
that his present financial condition will
not permit him to conduct another
gold note campaign. As he Inaugural
ted the system of moneyed campaigns,
the dear people will expect too much
of him. Should he be . candidate and
fail % grease" them we'll, they will
become an easy prey to Democratic
manipulators. In connection with
this Office We hear the names of
Judge Whitman, Judge Hawley, r.
NJ. Daggett and r. s. Messick talked
Of By their Republican friends; alsu
w. Z. +. Deal. Judge Kirkpatrick and
Governor Bradley are mentioned for
Senatorial donors by the Democrats
For Congressman, VIM. Woodburn
C. 8. Vsrian and Harry Mighels are
the favorites in the pools with the Rad
icals. The Democrats generally con
cede this office to some member Of
their party in the Great East. as the
Western portion Of the State has hao
the nomination for the past four years.
STATE OFFICES.
For Governor the prominent candi
dates among the Republicans are G
A. King. Of the bonanza firm, c. Z
Battermsn, Of Stale Prison notoriety
and w. w. Hobart. present Stat
Controller. It is thought by til,
knowing ones that MIR. King will, a
the proper time, withdraw in favor oil
Mr.. HOBART in order to defeat Batter
man. Hobart has already secured
three or four Of the eastern couRties
and Is q of the most sd nit politicians
IN the State, and his friends claim tina
he has the inside track ut present To-
the nomination. The friends of ole
"Broadhorns" have been c~anva>sinu
of late and find that many Democrats
are bitterly opposed to q thirt
term, for any Office whatever, and con
sequently have determined to entel
the "Old Man" in the Senatorial race.
The bonanza bugbear will not figure
In the coming campaign, AZ it is o
generally conceded by all parties thai
q reduction OF taxation will be made,
both in mines and other property, fol
our present rate Of taxation Is NOR,
than sufficient, by one-lhird. to carr,
on our State government. The many
friends of
j.. C. HAaERMAN,
OF Reno, are urging his claims for gu
bernatorial honors among the Demo
Gratis. He is undoubtedly the strong
est candidate In their ranks. A mer
chant Of high standing, q man Of rar'
abilities. honest and trust worthy, vel
liked by the masses. he will sweep th,
State like . whirlwind. 1t is Asserted
by tho leading Republicans Of WashOt
county that he will carry that county
by at least 800 majority.
For Lieutenaut Governor. Jewett w
Adams is willing to serve his constitu
ents q second term. Also, c. G.. Pown
ing, Of Reno, and Jerry Moore, o
Elko, will shy their castOrs into tn,
Republican ring for the same position
c. &. Biles, OF Humboldt; w. e
Grimes, Of Churchill; and j. j. Hill
our present State Printer. will he can
didates for Secretary of State before
the Democratic convention. As Hum
boldters are celebrated for getting sway
with the baggage. red hot stoves and
coin, IL IL almost certain that either Mr.
Biles or Mr.. Hill will win. j. d
Minor, the present incumbent, IL q can
didste for 10 election upon the Repub
lican sids Of the house. for the sam
office. Jim has q host Of friends VII,
wish to . him win; but whether th.
"third term" policy will operst'
against him, remains TO be seen.
Al I have spun this letter out to ~
unusual length, I will defer mention
i ing the names Of the candidates 70
