The SENTINEL made mention, some days
ago. of the interview between Senator Sha-
ron and a reporter Of the Winnemucca
Silver State. We had intended to make
some further reference to the same but
mislaid the copy OF the Silver State con
taining the interview. We find the article
reproduced entire in the Virginia Chron-
icle Of the 18th. After stating that he
would be q candidate for reelection, and
adding that he would have no difficulty in
getting all other Republican aspiranis ont
Of the field, the conversation turned to
National politics. That the people Of Ne
vads, and especially the poorer classes. may
know exactly what style of administration
Of government their purse-proud Senator
belieres in, we give his views at length on
this subject. 1t will be observed that he
p-ronounces emphatieally for Grant. whom
he saws has the nerve TO turn loose grape
and canister a. the hungry stomaehs Of the
toiling masses. Let the "Communistic
tramps Of the country" as he terms the
~workingmen, read and ponder well what
follows:
Reporter-Changing the subject, who do
you think Will be the Republican nominee
for President next year,
sharon General Grant will be, without
doubt, II he will accept it. We need q
stronger central government-the wealth
OF the country demands it; without capital
and capitalists our Government would not
be worth a fig ; the capital Of the country
demands protection; its rights are as
sacred as the rights Of the paupers who are
continually prating about the encroach-
ments of capital and against centralizz-
ton. We have tried Grant, and know him
to be the man for the place, above all
others. he hiss nerve. As President, he
would be commander-in chief of the army
and navy. and when the Communistic
tramps Of the country raised mobs to tear
up railroad tracks, and to sack cities on
the sham CRY Of /" bread or blood" be
would not hesitate to turn loose upon them
canister and grape. The wealth Of the
country has to bear the burdens Of govern
ment, and it should control it. The people
are becoming educated up 70 this theory
rapidly, and the sooner this theory is re-
cognized in the Constitution and laws, the
better it will be for the people.

Sharon-Without bloodshei-and rivers
Of it-there viii be no political change Of
administration. The moneyed interests of
the country. for seif-preseryation, must
