ELEcTIoNEER1Na IN NEVADA.

ELAazN0 IN NEVADA
The San Francisco Euletin, rsnally
clear-headsd, has an editorial with the
above caption on Nevada politics. As an
outside opinion Of the situation in this
of the SENTINEL. We quote as follows:
The campaign previous to the November
election has already commenced in Nevada.
This may be thought early, considering
that the State Conventions do not meet for
more than q month. But Nevada politics,
like its method OF mining, are peculiar.
Senator Jones has recently made his ap-
pearance at Gold Hill, and being the first
United States Senator seen in Nevada for
several years, except as "a passenger on the
Ovagland train, his presence is duly appre-
ciated. On Saturday night the Senator
addressed the people Of Nevada at Virginia
CitM and announced his candidacy for re-
election. SO far no prominent candidate
haasbeen named in opposition. Senator
Jones is a Republican, but somehow party
lines do not count for much in the canvass
for United States Senator in that State.
Senator Jones has made a record s~atisfac-
tory to the people on the silver question.
An effort was made by a portion Of the
Democratic press of East IN Nevada to
throw cold water on the Jones movement,
bringing forward Judge Hillhouse, but it
met with no response. The other Demo-
cratic papers have declared for Jones on
account Of his eminent service; and at this
writing it looks as if any new candidate
will have a hard time in making his cleo
ton sure.
There is still considerable discussion in
the papers whether Sharon intends to re-
sign. Some of the Democratic papers are
advocating that an arrangement should be
made whereby if Mr.. Sharon resigns u
Democrat would succeed him upon cons
dition that the Democracy support the re-
election Of Senator Jones. But the trouble
is, no one seems TO now the intention of
Mr.. Sharon in the matter. Next to the
United States Senatorship, the position
most sought after is that Of Congressman.
Wren ~tRepubliean) Of Eureka now holds
the office. He travelled from Washington
in company with Senator Jones, and il he
has made his peace with the Comstockers
he will stand a good show for renomina-
ton. \ n
Matters are also shaping themselves with
regard to the gaberpatorial office. Gov
ernor Bradley is in the ield for a third
term, but Hagerman, Of Reno, is a formid-
able opponent. On the Republican side,
n. M. Daggett Of the Territorial Enterprise
is booming up as a prominent candidate,
and should h. obtain the nomination, he
would run strong against any nominee of
the Democracy. But consideration outside
of ordinary party lines are SO inter woven
with Nevada politics that the strongest
men do not always succeed in getting
places ON the ticket.

THE REGICIDES AGAIN.
A Her srted Attempt ON tho Life Of the
KmperDr Francis Joseph Of Austria
Tho Union of the King Killers.

LONDON, Dec. Inquiries ut the Austrian
embassy respecting the reported attempt
upon the life OF the Emperor Francis Joseph
during his stay at Goedelloe Palace, In Hum
gary resulted In the statement that the Min
lister was not aware Of any attempt at tho as
sassination OF hIs imperial master having
been made, but it was added that the En-
peror, In common with all sovereigns Of El-
rope, had OF late received warnings that his
life was In danger, and duo precautions had
been taken.
The political feeling among discontented
classes In Hungary had for some time been
very high, and the occupation OF Bosnia and
Herzegovina had been made the occasion OF
violent appeals 10 the disoontented, and Q
serious cabinet crisis had been the result.
The reported attempt'at assassination, how
ever, could not have been conceived, II con-
ceived ut ALL by patriotic but msled Hun
garians; It was most probably n part of u
general plot for the assassination Of sover-
eigns and their minister's, which had already
made It's attempts in Russia, Germany, Spain
and Italy.
Inquiries made among political exiles In
London confirmed this opinion. Francis
Joseph, 1t was said, was put upon the list Of
soyereigns to be killed, not for any particular
evil he had done. but because he was king.

ject. He says there can be no doubt OF thig
conspiracy, and that it was hatched at In

THE ACKLEN SCANDAL.
TO THE PUBLIC AND MY C0NsTITU-
ENTs.

The New Orleans committee which, In Oc-
tober, requested me to retire from the can
vass as a candidate for Congress on party
grounds did so, as they state, after an exam
ination of charges against me from political
standpoint only. Ideclined to retire, and my
constituents sustained me; was reelected
by ma iority tenfold that OF 1876
AS this committee did not pass upon the
only question about which | care, and which
affects me socially, namely: the charge OF
seduction, | felt quite at liberty to submit
that social question to a committee in Wash
ington, whose finding in the case print be-
low. This latter committee had before them
d mass Of evidence which the New Orleans
committee never saw. could readily print
this to sustain their decision and entirely dis
prove the charge of seduction, but it is Of
such a character that a just sense of modesty
induces me to withhold it from the public
prints.
AS the New Orleans committee did not pass
upon the social question and the Washington
committee did, and declared me innocent OF
the charge, now if they or any of them hold
that the finding Of the Washington committee
was incorrect in fact, then | demand that the
New Orleans committee shall also examine
the social queStion-the charge of seduction
have summoned all the witnesses they or
desire, apply all the forms Of a judicial in
quiry to the case and render their decision as
to whether | am guilty or innocent of this
charge OF seduction. They formerly ignored
the social question entirely. and as it is now
revived am prepared to prove my innocence
socially as | did my strength politically.
Gov. Penn evidently misconStrued my mo-
tive in submitting the case to the Washing
ton committee, which was social and not a
political one, or he would not have done me
the injustice of publishing such statement as
he had in his hands without first giving me
the opportunity OF furnishing further testi-
mony on the social question. This has a
tendency to affect me socially, and hereafter

DISAPPOINTED POLITICIANS.
Two Members Of Congress Dead and One

WASHINGTON, Dec 22--It Is fortunate for
tho Democrats Of the House that their ma
jority In the Forty-iifth Congress rests upon
larger numbers than In the Forty-sxth. Did
IL not IL would have already been destroyed
by the death OF three members, two of whom

Neither Douglass nor Williams was re-elect-

questionably shortened the lives OF the two

extremely trying and harassing one to man

unfortunately, passages in his life as Con
gressman that deprived him OF the confidence
OF his district, and while his constituents con-
tinued to feel u strong sympathy for the man,

most of his adherents captured. Eighty of
them were Immediately hanged on the road
