A GRAVE DANGER.

Senator Sharon, who has been for months
past secretly jobbing for reelection to the
United Stat es Senate, has at last been driven
from cover and compelled to announce his can
didacy. He has declared that in case Repuli-
can Legislature is elected he will 90 before
that body as . candidate for the Senatorshp.
With this man in the field grave danger
msnaces the Republican party. Democratic
journals point to the election Of Democratic
Legislature as the only course by which the
State can shake the grip of Sharon from its
throat. With men who have watched his
course such arguments will have their weight
and materially increase the chances of the
Democracy in the Fall campaign. The Re-
publican party cannot afford to 60 int the
fight this Fall with Bill Sharon on its shout
ders. There is not State in the Union
where the dominant party could hold up
under such load. With Tritle, WOODBURY.,
Lewis or Whitman as the aspiranrs fer the
honor, Republicans could feel assured that
they had certainty Of securing representa-
tive whose incapacity could not be thrown
continually in their teeth. With Sharon out
Of the way the friends Of the gentlemen
named would rally to the polls on election
day and wsrk enthusiastically for the Legis-
lative ticket. The shadow Of SO notorious
corruptionist as Sharon falling upon the
hallot-box will cloud the days fight and give
prestige to the enemy. If Sharon has any
regard left for the party in which he claims

We endorse Mr.. Tritle the APPEAL has no word
to utter against Messrs. Woodburn, Lewis or
Whitman, other prominent candidates for

The Examiner has the following:
Senator Sharon, Of this city, who has so
signally represented the Bonanza burrough of |
Nevada outside of the Senate Of the United |
very agreeable to wear the title and possess
the advantages Of Senatorial position without
mourning any of the incidental charges or
performing any of the obligations devolved
upon it, that he again offers to carry the
weary load through another term of six years.

conspicuous quality of his Senatorial career.
The Mail takes this view Of the case:
Senator Sharon, who represents Nevada
and lives in California, has publicly anneunc.
cd himself candidate for reelection. This
entities him to the distinction of being the
checklist man in the United States.
The Vallejo Chronicle remarks:
The people Of Nevada will loose their rep

Sharon to walk over them.
TRAVELLERS who were accustomed to stop

Kansas, will now rejoice that they did not
sleep with Kate. Her mother in her confess

bed, and after quietly cutting their threats,
would fall asleep by their side and enjoy a
sweet rest until morning
