The Gold Ain Daily News hal
rnE PROSPECT.


From all parts Of the State comes
news which should cheer and encourage
the Republican party. The campaign
which is now drawing to . close, has
thus far been q remarkably quiet one.
and no violent sruptons Of party excite
meut have taken place. But IL must
not DO assumed from nero surface indi-
cations that the action OF the comba-
tants Is tagging. or that the great masses
Of the people are not profoundly interest
cd in the result. The fact Is the contest
on both sides has been . "still hunt"
The two parties are 50 closely idsntihedon
all questions OF real and vital Importance
in our local politics, that thu election on
Tuesday next will DO rather q selection
OF the best men. than . triumph for
either Republican or Democratic princi-
Piles. On the Congressional issue. poll
tics will influence the vote more or less.
and the fact that Senator Jones Is a can
didate for reelection by the next Legis-
iaturs will. to a great extent. determine
the result OF the legislative tickets. But
outside Of these two issues the great
fight 10 to be between men. aud not be-
tween principles. There will DO more
scratching OF tickets at this election
than a, any previous q in the history
of the State.
Governor Bradley and ]. H. Kinksad.
the rival candidates for the Governor
ship, have both canvassed the State.
each in his own way. and the people
have hal an opportunity Of comparing
the two men. Governor Bradley has
asked the boys to take a drink. and re-
called them with what passes for jokes
among the vacqusros. but Is regarded as
vulgsrity among gentlemen Of any social
standing whatever. lie forms . strik-
ing contrast to the quiet. polished. gen.
tlemanly Kinksad. and that contrast has
been noted to his disadvantage whsr.
svsr no has gone. The effect OF the
IS Of the two men in the Eastern
part OF the State has been that every
where Bradley has lost ground. while
Kinkssd has steadily gained. The high
eat estimate Of the majority which the
third.term candidate can bring to Reno
from the East. is placed at ESQ ; the low
ost 10 set down at $50. A fair average Of
the two estimates will probably approIi-
mate somewhat to the actual result.
This would give Bradley q majority Of
600 in the Democratic strongholds Of
the State. and unless he reaches the
Truckee with q better showing than that
his dsisa, Is inevitable.
Tho contest between Mr.. Daggett and
Mr.. Deal for Congress bsds fair at the
outset to be a close one. and the indica-
tons have not materially changed. Mr..
Daggstt Is unfortunate enough to be q
man Of brains with ideas to express, and
a paper in which to express them. Arti.
cles which he has written have been
deliberately misreprsssntsd. and articles
which he never saw have been attributed
to him with the intention Of bringing
him into disrepute among the working.
men. OF course. all these petty means
OF warfare will have their effect. sspsci.
ally among the more ignorant Of our
voters. On the other hand. Mr.. Deal
has wantonly told so many slaring false
hoods during his canvass that he has
disgusted scores OF his party friends.
while his evident Estates rights opin.
ions, and his reference to "ths nation.
90 they call It," have aroused all the
loyal jealousy Of the Republicans Of the
State. and arrayed our party almost in
solid phalanx against him. Unless all
indications fail at the last moment. Il.
u. Dssgstt will DO elected to Congress
next Tuesday by sgood. round majority.
And We do not believe that the indica-
tons will fail.
So far as our legislative ticket Is con-
cerned q more promising campaign for
the Republican party was never prose-
cuted In Nevada. The bonanza yelp has
expended itself and the most rabid
Democrat now laughs at the orator who
attempts to raise IL against the Republic
can party. The people know that only
by slecting q majority Of our candidates
to the Legislature a they secure the
return Of John p. Jones TO the United
States Senate. and they realize that the
interests OF the State are involved in
his reelection. For this reason hun
dreds OF Democrats in every county in
the State will vote our Legislative ticket.
As we survey the field at the close OF the
last week Of the contest. We see nothing
but cause for graduation. We have
the election practically in our own hands.
The wavering. non-psrtizan element is
with us. heart and soul. in this fight, and
IL We are defeated now. ii will DO at the
hands OF recrsant Republicans. who
either neglect to vote or treschsrously
betray their party. not because our OPP
ponents are stronger or better organized
than ourselves.
