The Ocean View house was honored
the other day, when the sea was roar
ing, by the meeting and reconciliation
OF the two great leaders of the Nevada
democracy. Mr.. Sutro and Senator
Fair. Mr.. Sutro had ridden out with
some friends and was enjoying pleas
ant lunch, when the sagebrush senator
came dashing through the storm.
From time immemorial all great polit-
zeal leaders have experienced an
unconquerable desire to gaze on the
ocean-possibly for the purpose of
measuring the smallness of natures
wonders by their own intellectual
grandeur. XerXes, on the eve of the
greatest naval battle of ancient times.
sat on rocky brow and gazed medita-
lively on the blue waters surrounding
the ''sea-born Salamis.'' A. number
OF eminent historical personages have
been surprised while gazing at the
ocean i'll trying moments of their
career, so there was nothing unusual
in the sagebrush senator's flying
through rain and wind to watch the
conflict Of the mighty Pacific with the
rock-ribbed shores of rival state.
Such a spectacle must have been sooth-
ing to one who has just passed through
the ordeal of a senatorial election in
Nevada.
The dignified representative of the
Intelligence and patriotic purity of the
silver state enjoyed the spectacle
greatly, and amused himself by pleas
ant comparisons of the hungry sea-
gulls skirmishing for lunch and the
high minded and active politicians of
Carson, fitting around in quest of
square meal. His happy comments
were interrupted by the appearance
of the landlord with the news of Mr..
Sutro's presence in the house.
"Ha, ha, hay" said the. genial sena-
tor; "why. my old friend Sutro? L.

son.
The senator's delight at getting
within speaking distance of his late
political rival appeared 50 great that
the landlord stopped outside expect
ing him to dash right into the dining
room and fall on the great tunneler's
neck. Instead of doing so, however,
he expended his effusive curdiality in
this order:

derer, with my compliments.
The appearance of the senatorial
present took the great tunneler' breath
away, but he had presence of mind
enough to say, Wouldn't Senator
Fair join us in drinking the wine?''
''Certainly,' said the senator when
the landlord flew back to him in
terrible state of excitement, realizing
that he was being hurried up the stairs
of historic fame by the various orders.
The reunion and reconciliation is
said by spectators to have been most
touching. AS the senatorial shadow
darkened the door the eminent tun-
MEIER and his guests rose, napkins in
hand.
'sHow do you do. senator!" said
Sutro.
''Ah, Sutro, me boy, how are you 2"
responded the senator, and the plump
fist Of the millionaire dropped into
the plumper fist of the ten. millionaire.
':Hurrah!' shouted Mr.. Dye, who
was SO elated that he nearly fractured.

All the Sutronian guests waved their
napkins frantically, and landlord
Skaggs was so joyously nervous that
in trying to break the restraining wire
Of the Roederer in proper style he took
over an inch of cuticle off his thumb,
and let the cork fly through a SIS vase.
The reconciled patriots came home
together, and nothing but the villain
Gus condition of the weather prevented
them from having their photographs
taken with their arms entwined low
ingly round each other.
