the nominees Of the Republican State Con
v~cntion. The work Of the Convention
promises to be easy. We guess that Gen

or by reclamation; Mighcls for Lieutenant
Governor by acclamation; Woodburn for
Congress by reclamation: Hobart for Con-
troller by acclamation; Tufiy for Treas
urer by acclamation; Hawley for Supreme

of the Supreme Court by acclamation;
Day for Surveyor General (f he desires a
third term) by reclamation. This leaves
open to skirmish the positions Of Attorney
General and State Superintendent of Pub

seems to stand the best show for the for

even chance for the latter, if he doesn't

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
THE MERCHANTS AND THE UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD COMPANY.
THE COMPANY WANTS YEARLY
CONTRACTS.


CHICAGO. August 1.
The Times New York correspondent says
that representatives of San Francisco
houses were told to-day that the Union Pa
ciiic Railroad Company would make yearly
contracts for frei3hts at favorable rates,
which was understood to mean the old
tariff. provided the houses would agree to
ship al their goods by the railroad. The
dry goods houses are very much put out at
the increase of the railroad rates reported
on YESTERDAY in the Times. 1t now takes
twenty days for goods to reach San Fran
cisco by the ordinary route; the express
companies undertake to deliver them in
ten days, and charge twenty dollars per
one hundred pounds. Many merchants
said rather than submit to this extortion
they would ship all goods by steamer or
clipper ship, and forward only those where
dispatch was required by express. Com
plants are being received by shippers on
the varions branch lines OF the Union Pa
cifc Railroad. A short time ago the road
obtained control Of the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad, which runs from Denver
to Elmira and Garland City. This has
cut off through shipments by the Atchi-
son, Topeka a. Santa Fee Railroad, rum
ing from Pueblo, as the latter road il
obliged to charge arbitrary local rates. r. e
freight agents canno issue through bills Of
lading for Pueblo. and the goods nave to
b. shipped and the bulk broken.

The SilUeT State has an article under the
above head regarding a certain phase of
the political situation in Eureka county.
We think there can be no doubt that Eu-
reka is the key of the Republican contest
in the State. If Wren wins here the Gov
crnor must come from the West. If Con
nor wins here the Congressman must come
from the West. Other nominations are
contingent on the result in Eureka, and SO
it may be said that this county is the bat
tie ground upon which depends the whole
personnel Of the Republican State ticket.
Our contemporary of the sluggish Hum
boldt thus dishes up the conflict on the
Base Range:
The political pool in Eureka county is
in an eferyescent state. Congressman
Wren, whose term expires on the 4th of
next March. wants to succeed himself.
There appeared no obstacle in the way of
his getting the nomination until General
Common became a candidate for Governor.
His announcement for that position affect
ed the Republican pool about the same as
an acid does alkali. 1t set the pot boiling
not only in Eureka, but in the western
part of the State, where there are several
candidates for Lieutenant Governor, whose
chances OF success depend upon having tine
Governor from Eas.orn Nevada, and to at
tain this to them desirable end Wren must
be laid on the shelf and Conner nominated.
The solution Of the problem, however, de-
ponds upon the action Of Eureka Republi-
cans at the primaries, and the henchmen
of Wren and Conner are battling for their
respective chiefs. One faction call Con-
nor a carpet-baSger, who never acquired a
residence or votsd in the State of Nevada.
The other retorts by stigmltizing Wren a
one-horse lawyer, brought to the notice Of
the public by his accidental connection
with the Richmond Mining Company.
The two elements are as discorl tnt as it
is possible for them TO be, and ii the Dem
Gratis said half as many ugly things about
either az they say Of each other, ali the Re
publican papers in the State would be
bowling with. rage.
