the stats SENATE.

As We pointed out yesterday. the sue
cess Of the Republican party in e~lecting
its Legislative ticket in this State. is
more important than a victory in
the Gubsrnatoral contest. A good.
honest. Republican Legislature can do
much to nsutralize the absurd antics OF
even such an apology Of Governor as
Bradley. The Legislature is a check
upon the Executive. and 80 long a. We
can maintain our majority in that branch
OF the Government Of the State. We can
save ourselves from any very grave dis
aster at the hands Of . laundering or
disloyal Governor. But. above all. Is
the election Of a Republican Legislature
necessary this Fall. The people are de-
tsrmined to return John P. Jones to the
United States Senate. This determine
ton Is characteristics Of nearly all Re
p~ublicans, and very many Democrats are
also sound Jones men. There Il an I'M
ususlly strong feeling upon the subject.
and that feeling can only be satisfied by
the election Of Republican Legislature.
We believe that there will 10 no DIFF
nculty in securing . majority OF the
State Assembly. since the entire body is
to DO chosen anew. and the feeling In
favor Of Jones will DO strong enough to
ensure . Republican victory. Our hard
work 10 to 30 made in the election Of
State Senators. In this body there are
eleven hold-ovsrs. and OF these siI arc
Democrats. The Democrats are Msssrs.
Baker. Crssswell. Mcconnell. Stewart,
Schultz and ws.tsrfeld. The five Re
publicans are Messrs. Blair. Comins.
Martin. Stone and Bosrdman. The en-
tire Senate 10 composed Of twenty-five
members. and as n majority Of that body
Is thirteen. 1t follows that we are bound
to elect eight out Of the fourteen to DO
chosen next November. while the Dem.
o~crais. with their six hold-ovsrs. are
only required to elect seven OF the four
teen. That 10 the work before Us in the
State Senate. Should We fail to &C
complain II. We may still have enough
Asssmblymsn to give us . majority in
the joint convention which elects q Uni
ted States Senator. but 1t 10 not safe to
trust to that. We q elect q majority
Of the State Senate II We work well and
faithfully. and by doing that we shall
place the election Of John =. Jones be-
yond any doubt.
OF the fourteen new members to DO
chosen to the Senate. Eureka county has
I. Storey 2, washoe I. Lincoln l. White
Pine 1, Lyon 1. Elko I. Humboldt 1,
ormsby l.. Esmsralda I. Douglass 1.
Lander I. and Churchill 1. The county
conventions in each OF these districts
must see to 1t that their candidates are
not only staunch Republicans. against
whose record there is no shade OF sss-
picion. but that they are well known
and popular men. To secure eight Of
these fourteen Senators is no easy mat
ter, and 1t will not do for Us to lose the
battle by indulsing in too great conf
dsncs before the election. Every Re-
publican vote Is needed. and the work Of
every Republican in the State must be
given to the good ause. With the con.
vsntions rests the responsibility Of So
Letting good men as candidates. With
the rank and Ole Of the party will then
rest the duty OF seeing to it that every
Republican vote Is pollsd In their favor.
and Of making all the converts possible
to the party Of the union and human
freedom.
In this good work the name Of Senator
Jones will prove q tower Of strength to
the laborers. Very many Democrats
will vots for our candidates, when they
become convinced that their own are
pledged to vote for q rival to u sena-
tor. 1t is the duty Of Republicans to see
to ID that their Democratic friends arc
thoroughly posted in this respect; that
they are made 10 see that q Democratic
Legislature means tho defeat Of the man
who has made our silver the recongnized
money Of the land. Once let the people
understand this and they will rally
around the Jones standard in force,
Democrats and Republicans alike. II
We fail to sscur the State Senate II will
be for want Of efficient campaign work.
We must not fail in the work,
