ADAMS AND JONES.
A announced in the local columns Of
yesterdays issue Of the SENTINEL, Jewett
w. Adams, Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, and Joe E. Jones,
Democratic candidate for State Treasurer,
are in W meeting the people and in a
uuiet, social way discussing the political
issues of the day. Better or more trust
worthy gentlemen than Jewett Adams and
Joe Jones are not to be found In the State.
Mr.. Adams has filed the position Of Lieu
tenant Governor for four years with credit
to himself and fidelity to the State. Dur
ing the first winter of his incumbency Of
the Lieutenant Go%vernorship he was the
Acting Governor, Governor Bradley, in
consequence of ill-health, being absent in
California. This was at a period when the
Legislature was in session, q time which
tries the official soul of every Chief Execu-
tive. That he administered the high
Office co~nscientiously, and for the best in
terests Of the people of the State, is sus-
ceptible OF easy proof by the record.
Adams is not the man to be swayed by i'm
proper influences to do a thing which his
better Judgment cannot approve. 1t there
fore follows that he is a very safe and
proper person to place in line Of success
sion, should Governor Bradley, unfortu-
nately, through death or other cause, be-
come disqualified to discharge the duties Of
Governor. 1t may be said, in a word,
In passing, that Mr.. Adams is entitled to
full one-half the credit due Governor
Bredley's last administration he having
occupied and administered the Office of
Governor for at least one-half Of the term.
Also, as q pa-rliamentarian he is q very
clever success. Presiding over the delib-
CREATIONS Of the Senate two years ago. for
the first time, he speedily became as pro-
fcfent in a knowledge of parliamentary
law As the Oldest and most experienced
Legislators in that body. And there were
parliamentary debates and skirmishes dur
ing that session the like of which were
never before witnessed in a Legislative body
in this State. During all of these heated
periods Governor Adams presided with
dignity, ability and impartiality. Though
occasionally differing with the writer on
questions Of public policy, we can lay at
his door nothing but perfect fairness in
his rulings when such questions came up
for consideration. In private life, also,
Mr.. Adams is o most excellent citizen, a
good neighbor and the truest Of true
friends. We hope to see him triumphantly
elected, as we have no doubt he will be.
There is nothing political in or about
the Office of Treasurer. To the people at
large it matters little whether the custodian
of the public funds be a Democrat or q
Republican. The safe keeping of the
States money is the question Of paramount
importance, and this brings us to say that
Joe Jones is the man for this responsible
duty. He has filed a hundred positions Of
public trust, and invariably came out with
: clear record. He has been twice elected
Sheriff Of Washoe county over a Republican
majority OF about 200. This shows con-
clusively how he stands with his neighbors
among whom he has resided for fifteen
years, the while conducting a large active
business which brought him into direct
contact with all classes of the community.
No better evidence is required to prove
him . first-class solid citizen in all
respects. He is Vice President of the Reno
Savings Bank, and has other large interests
in Washoe county and the western part Of
the State. He can give as good q bond for
the faithful performance Of the duties Of
Treasurer as any man on the Pacific Coast.
1t follows necessarily, therefore, that he is
just the man to take possession of jerry
Schooling's official shoes with the incoming
administration. That he will do SO, the
. SENTINEL firmly believes.
