and Enthusiastically, against the leading
industry Of the State. No party can. or
ought I succeed, while warning onthe
mining interests of the commonwealth.
There Is not the slightest hope for the
party 80 shaping its policy. We be-
lieve the sensible men Of the Demo-
cratic party see and understand this.
Hence it follows that Bradley must be
retired. He has no special claims or
qualifications for the position. He
may be a we'll meaning old man, but
he is in his dotage and COM
pletely at the mercy of three
or four designing men who control
him absolutely to further their own
selfish ends. These are facts capable
OF essy demonstration on application
10 any one familiar with the manner 10
which tho executive office has been ad
ministered for the last four years-ever
since the Governor had the misfortune
70 be stricken with paralysis. For
these and many other reasons that
might be assigned, not the
least of which the attitude of
the Democracy on the third term
question, Bradley is not available and
should not be thought OF asa candidate
by any person having at heart the sue
cess OF his party. Fox is little known

fore, It follows that of all those SO
far prominently mentioned, Hagsrman
Is the proper man for the race. He is
q leading merchant of Reno; has an
unsullied reputation as a man of integ-
rity; makes a good speech from the
stump, and is capable of writing his
own documents; something that Ne
vada has never yet witnessed in a Gov.
ernor. Mr.. Hagerman has also been
a true and consistent Democrat during
all the years of his manhood, and there
Is perhaps not a man in Nevada to-day
who has done O to advance the inter
ests of his party. He always helps
where he resides, and there is seldom
. general election which does not cost
him more as a private citizen than is
expended by the candidates for the
latest offices. Two years ago we had
him on the Tilden and Hendricks
electoral ticket, position in
nocent of emolument. He showed
the kind of metal of which he
Is made by making a thorough
canvass Of the State at a personal cost
Of upwards of $1,000. Now, in all can
dor, is not this q maj to he remember
cd by the party when it has honors at
its disposal We think yes, and be.
lieve that q great majority OF shc Dem
ecrats Of Nevada concur in our opin-
ion. And, besides, Mr.. Hagerman is
. man of courage and candor. endowed
with q very large amount of individ-
ual magnetism which renders him ex.
tremely popular with the masses. He
told the writer some months since that
he wanted to be Governor simply for
the honor which the position confers.
He had no rings, cliques or special in
terests or ends to subserve, and If nom
mated aud elected he would strive
zealously to promote the welfare of the
whole people. We know him to be
true man, aud can vouch
Jbs the faithful performance of
whatever he may undertake. These
are his claims, and this his case, as we
not too strongly presented it. He
Is, withal, one of the most energetic
in the State, an admirable quality
10 a sagebrush campaign, and in our
judgment he Is by long odds the
strongest candidate that has yet been
for the Governorship on
pithsr side. II the Republicans have
! man who can beat him to use a slang
pression. we would like to see the
of his hair.
