seats in his private palace car, when
the following interview occurred.
Reporter is Senator Sharon,

Senator (smiling blanlly)-Yes, sir.
Reporter am representative of
the SILVER STATE, and jumped aboard
for the purpose Of interviewing you,- if
YOU ilesNO bp oDJCNtiofiS'
Senator tfrownirgly)-I don't think
Tlp under any Obligations to treat the
SILVER STATE even with courtesy, for
it has always abused me most Shame,
fully.
Reporter (apologeticallyj-Well, Sem
alto, you remember that, several years
ago, Mr.. Ferguson Announced to the
people of Carson the startling revela-
ton, ''Man is frail''
Senator = Oh, yes, Horse market
Ferg, as be was called
Reporter--And you and Senator Jones
can attest the fact that Carson is pro-
life in the disciples of Berguson's school
of philosophy, both ia. theory and prac,-
tiee.
! Senator tsmiling. and looking more
resigned We'll, sir, you cam prooseS
with yous interview upon any subject

M THE FIELD FOR REELECTION.
Reporter--Is the report that you are
/ q. candidate for re election true?
Senator--I'm in the field, or wild be.
at the proper time.
Reporter-Do you anticipate any Sc
rious opposition!
Senator--Ncne. worth naming, EXCEPT
from the Democrats.
Esporter-I have heard the names of
several prominent Republicans who it
is said, intend to make fight for the
position.
Senator-Oh, yes, no doubt there
will be gentlemen who will claim to be
candidates for a while, bat they will
not be in the way. Tom Fitch, you
know, even took rooms in Carson, and
supplied it with two. boxes of cigars
and three. bottles of whisky for bis
friends, in, his nominal contest with Old
Nye You know what his object was;
but | don'tthink hea got. first cost OF
his outlay.
Reporter-Y on anticipate no SERIOUS
opposition in your own party?
Seuator-None.. / understand that
Governor Kinkead is trying TO lay some
wires and is anxious to become my sue
cessor. He is,a very atiable gentleman,
makes a good Governor, but for Senator
he has no influential backang;. I've 'would
have no strength in. the Legislature.
Bob Clarke, doubtless, would be his
chief manager in the contest, and he
has no political. sgacity at all. The
party has no faith in Giarke's Repub
icanism; he has made himself very OBJ
noxious to those engaged in the leading
industries Of the .State;;i in politics, lie
is communistic in. theory; be would
destroy our railroads and mines, es-
pecially the Comstook; besides, it re-
quires u great deal OF money to'pay the
legitimate expenses of senatorial cleo
ton, and neither ths Governor nor Bob
has it,
! Reporter-You must remember that
/ General Clarke has veritable bonanza
in the Paradise mines, and with plenty
of moneyie might make very vigor-
Gus fight for Kinkead.-
