NEW YORK, Nov. lst.-The San

Times says: The fight is very &C.
tive in Nevada, seemingly In favor
OF Fair for Senator. There Is less
reason now than when 1 telegrap

the Republican electors will be
chosen. The Democrats are well
organized, active and aggressive.
Should Nevada's electoral vote go
to Garfield 1t will be largely due to
the influence Of John w. Macksy,
who Is reported to be laboring to

eight hours and there are now fully
1900 rioters In the streets. The
trouble has been growing for days.

there were fully 5000 illegal names
registered in this city and after.
wards the streets were filled with
strangers Of the worst character.
Ever since the publication of the
Garfield letter violent partizans
have striven to make an issue OF
the Chinese question, and the
Democratic press has been filled
with articles asserting that as soon
as Garfield was elected the State
would be flooded with Chinese and
all white labor driven out. Satur-
day night the Democrats had a
procession, carrying transparencies
with inscriptions and cartoons
tending to excite amino sity against
the Chinese. A considerable por-
ton became intoxicated and re-.
manned out all night. This noon
they made an assault on Chinese
houses, tearing down the houses
and beating and driving out the
Chinese. One was dragged from
Hop Lees place with rope around
his neck and his skull crushed in
with boots and bricks. Tie police
were called out but were unable to
control the mob. The IRE depart
ment was ordered to throw water
on the rioters, but the mob attack
ed them and badly wounded two
firemen. Many Cinnamon were
fearfully beaten and one was res.
cued by the police and taken to
the Jail, which was Immediately
surrounded by q mob of about one
thousand, who hurrahed for Han
cock and yelled Lynch the leper."
The special police managed to keep
back the crowds. The other mob

streets is such that 1t is i'm possible
at this hourto get definite report.
Many negroes were knocked down

been called, to be ready at the
slightest warning. Reports Of piss
tolls are heard all over town and
the militia will be called out.
Threats have been freely made
that the Tribune office would be
sacked, but though the mob have
been bowling across the street
from 1t, no attack has been made
as yet. The citizens, irrespective
of party, are intensely indignant.
