THE ANTI. SHARON REVOLT.

1t is hard to look in any quarter of the
political field without seeing signs of gen.
ersl revolt against the presumption Of William
Sharon. When it was first announced that
he was in the field there were numbers Of good
Republicans everywhere who, while depler-
ing the possibility Of his succeeding himself,
were free to admit that they thought his cleo
ton foregone conclusion, as it would be i'm
possible to counteract the influence Of his
great wealth. Now that it is beginning to
manifest itself that Sharon is shy about max
ing moneyed fight the anti Sharon element
are taking heart and are joining hands ear
nestly to shake of the rule of the Californian
who beasts that he rules the Republican party
of Nevada. The Republicans of Washoe
county through their convention have declared
against Sharon. Eureka, a county which
Sharon confidently counted upon, will back
Tom Wren against all the influence that
Sharon can bring against him. In Storey
county Sharon cannot make move without
being watched by the Democrats, who vow
if he obtains his Office through fraud and
bribery it will be used against him in Washing
ton. He lef: Storey county without efecting
anything or spending dollar except for the
brass band that serenaded him. The friends
of Tritle are more hopeful In Elko county
there is general revolt, as is shown by the
following article from the Times Recie,c
The Legislative ticket which is the most en-
phatically anti Sharon will, in all probability
be elected IN this county. Both being even
upon that question, the contest will doubtless
be close. The Democratic Convention which
meets in Elko next Thursday, should be all
means adopt resolution couched in the most
unmistakable terms upon the subject. Not
general denunciatory resolution, but one
pledgng the Legislative nominees, in case
there is no chance of electing a Democratic
United States Senator, to vote for any other
Republican in preference to Mr.. Sharon.
Nothing will be risked, in . party sense, by
pursuing such q course, while it will add
greatly to the strength of the Legislative
ticket. Then let the Republican Convention
instruct its nominees for the Legislature not
to vote, under any circumstances, either in
caucus or joint convention, for the man who |
proposes to purchase a lease of the seat for !
another six years. 1t is pretty generally un-
derstood, we believe, that Sharon will make |
no fight in the Republican primaries in this
county. His programme will be to carry |
Storey and Eureka counties, which, with the |
hold over Senators who are for him, will give !
him majority i'll the caucus; then, those who |
participate in the proceedings of that body, |
whether for him or not, will be obliged by
party rule to vote for him in joint convention.
1t must be apparent to every one, under such
\ programme, that every member of the eau
,us will ultimately aid in the election of the
obnoxious candidate, whether elected as
Sharon men or not. The only way to avert
his is by the adoption of the course above
suggested. 1t will, as matter Of course,
prevent the Republican nominee if elected,
rom going into Caucus in which Sharon is
candidate, except with the understanding that
hey will not be bound by it's action in the
went of his nomination. By no other means,
however, can the Republicans of this county
,e assured that their votes. if cast for their
legislative ticket, will not further the cleo
ion of the purse proud Californian. If the
bove suggestions are carried cut, the mem
'ers of the two parties can support severally
heir own legislative nominees, with the as
urance while doing SO that they are not
citing, directly or indirectly, for resident
f another State, whose only claim to Ne
ada's seat in the Senate is based upon the
,eight of his sack.
