SHARON'S FIGHT OPENED.

-r SHARONS FIGHT OPENED.
A few months ~" It was hard to End a
man in Nevada who believed in William
Sharon personally or politically or Thought
that hs would again make q Senatorial tight

in terms of unmeasured disgnst aud few
ventured to advise the editor Of this paper to
stop asserting that he was in the field, con-
sidsring the idea prsposterous. Shar"n has
announced his candidacy to the people If

hia trusted henchmen and is now at his home
in California quietly awaiting the result
Sharon's plan Of action my be briefly ont

will put a sufficient force Of men to work in
the s,,u,h-end mines to carry the Comstock
primaries. Crown Point and Belcher will BE-
made to bear his c.mpaign expenses in that
quarter. Men who are out Of employment
will be picked up and their necessities made
the lever by which they can be handled for
Sharon. The expense IF putting a large force
Of men at work in mines where they Can do
nothing but run useless drifts and take out
worthless rock, will amount to hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars, which the stockholders
will be called upon to pay in tho shape OF

take no interest in Sharon or his CAMPAIGN,
and residents of Nevada who do not favor his
ambitious designs for political favors, will be
robbed openly to help pay the expenses Of
his corrupt assault upon the honor an de-
eency of the State. If the stockholders of
these mines will stand such nonsense without
. protest they are made Of curious stuff.
Here and there Republicans can be found
who, while inwardly ashamed of their Soma
torial Representative. argue that the money
will be material assistance to the Rspubli-
can party. On the contrary, the presence of
Sharon in the field and the contamination of
Sharon's coin will work an injury to the Re-
