The editor OF the Carson .dRPeal, be.

quainted with the great California Sen.
ator for Nevada, the weakness of his

clearly demonstrated in tho following:
- The papers which hope to be cor.
rupted next Fall by the coin Of William
Sharon nre trying hard to make it ap-
pear that the interview had with the
Ssuator by n reporter of tho SIver
State was bogus. 1t seems curious to
any one knowing Sharon that in an in
terview he would have said anything
else. The language is in full accord
with Sharon's views as lie has expressed
them privately q hundred times.
Always holding that ho had the ability
to control votes with coin, he has
boasted Of it again and again. One Of
tho pleasantest spots in his memory is
the recollection OF how he debauched
the people OF Nevada and secured the
Senntorship from the State Legislature
by a swindlins deal in ophir. Ho dis.
bursed money right aud lett in the cam.
paign and put most OF it back In his
pocket by clever stock transaction, in
which he used the noodles Of the Legis.
lature as q cats paw TO rake the nuts
from the blaze. Some OF Sharon's 5
friends claim that he was drunk when
he talked with the Siirer STATE reporter.
Possibly he was, and in this state Of
into, ication made him all the more
candid and truthful. The old Adagc,
that there is truth in Wine, was proba-
bly, never more clearly e1emplifed. than
when through the fumes OF Cnchet
Blame he spoke the homes, feelings Of
his heart.

those gentlemen approved OF the pcrpe-

DOING and fraud. There was spopu-
lar majority for Governor in opposition
to the Republicans. In many districts
giving Fusion majority for Governor
the Republicans succeeded in getting
majority for members of the Legislature
by trickery aud other frauds.
The Governor aud Council have not
based their action Oh these frauds in
any instance. not having Jurisdiction;
they strictly followed the Constitution
and threw out such returns as we're
fatally defective, whether Republican
or Democratic. In some counties more
Democratic than Republican returns
have been thus rejected. The Republi-
ems have been in the habit for years
OF secretly returning defective Republi.
can returns to town officials for correc
tion. but always took advantage of such
defects in Democratic returns.
During twenty.thTse years OF Repub.
lican rule they have never lost an officer
by reason OF such defects. while the
Democrats have lost more or less every
year. This has served TO make Demo.
cratic town officers more careful and
Republican officials more careless. The
pr, sent Governor and Council have
held the Republicans to the strict letter
OF the Constitution and laws. The re
suit is mn nnu. Republican majority

Applying this rule this yenr changes

The return from thi city Of Portland
was fatally defective in not complying

names OF the persons voted for. with
the number Of votes against each name.
Some lao votes were returned ns "scnt

there is II material difference between

from these defects.

and Council have consulted eminent
counsel before coming to n conclusion.

Board has Lceu umaniin ous with one
