sHARoN's POLITICAL PROSPECTS.

Already the excitement regarding the Fall
election is beginning to simmer and politicians
are putting the claims of their favored candi-
dates to the fore. The U. S. Senatorshp
naturally takes precedence in this State. At
present William Sharon's name is the most
prominent from the fact that certain class
OF men, who do the low work Of political
campaigns, are anxious to see Sharon fight
made. A Sharon fight means, plenty of money
distributed through pot hoases places of com
mon resort, and among the riff raft of both
parties, who stand ready at all times to sell
their votes for coin. 1t means lively times, an
exciting campaign, bribery, corruption and
political mendacity of the vilest sort. During
that time these hungry buzz.rds, who hang
about such scenes, will dip their beaks in the
putrid mass and gorge themselves with their
FIRST square meal for two years The Belcher
development is part of the Sharon program
me. The indications now creating such an
excitement in the Belcher mine, were known
more than year ago and have been carefully
saved up for a mining and political boom next
Fall When the campaign fairly opens the
lance to put seven or eight hundred men at
work in the mine, all of whom are expected to
vote the Sharon ticket. After the election
Sharon and his crowd will unload the stock at
figures which will about pay the expenses of
the campaign, and the next assessment Qevied
after the unloading) will pay for the extra and
useless work The smaller mines under Shsrons
control will carry out similar plan. Thus
Sharon will foist himself upon the people of
Nevada as a representative, against their con-
sent, and heap additional insult upon them by
actually compelling them to foot the bills.
The talk about putting Monaghan labor on
the Bcdis extension is another card in Sharen's
hand. Superintendent Yerington has no idea
Of employing Cinnamon and he is as we'll
aware as any body that the Miners Union will
not allow it. When the time comes gangs of
Sharon's voters will be set to work. His last
campaign was carried in Nevada by the ex-
penditure of vast sums of money although he
was personally popular with the people. To-
day Sharon has not dozen real friends among
the honest voting population of the State.
Since he has held the high Office of United
States Senator he has so persistently neglect
ed the interests Of his constituents that his |
friends have fallen off, and his emily followers
now left are the men who hunger and thirst
after his coin. His double dealing with the
Legislature in the famous Ophir transaction
will not soon be forgotten. He spent thous-
ands of dollars in some counties only to carry
them by bare majorities, and reached the Sen
ate BY close call. After making a disgrace
f0l record for himself and earning the con-
Tempt Of the people he comes up again for
heir SURFACES. Taking all the factors of the
gams into consideration, the change in public
sentiment, his dead and buried popularity,
'is disrsspeot shown for the people he should 1
'erve and their utter contempt for him, it
annot be figured down but that his next fight {
will cost him at least four times as much as
lis previous one did. He does not to-day s
now who are his friends or who bis enemies I
The length of his sack alone determines that,
md the only man on earth he can really t
cunt on as loyal, lis his poor, despised Chinese s
ervant, All Kai.
