r,1E UEPUBLICAN TICKET.

Inc hSpuDlicalS Ol NSNdua, III Soh
vention at Reno, have nominated Strother
for Governor. Very little is known OF
Mr.. Strother, except that he was for
several years United States COMMISSIONS
in bankruptcy for this State, and that he
twice welded the sack for William
Sharon, the last time not doing even this
piece Of dirty work successfully, but
rather making a farce out OF a felony.
It is well known, however, that he is the
candidate of Mr.. Yerington, General
Superintendent of the Virginia & Truckee
Railroad, who worked like a Trojan at
Reno to get him the nomination.
The nomlnation of Hon. c. c. Powning
Of Washoe for Congress is not generally
believed to be as strong as that OF Gen.
Connor would have been. In fact, the
'Grcat East seems to have been pretty
efIectually ignored in the makeup of the
Republican ticket. The Attorney Cen
eralship has been conceded to Eureka,
and the Supreme Judgeship is given
nominally to Humboldt but really to
Carson City, which gets also Treasurer,
Clerk of the Supreme Court and Lieuten-
ant Governor.
Orlando r. Leonard has been put for
ward by our Republican friends to sue
coed himself on the Supreme Bench.
How this man ever beat Kirkpatrick four
wears ago was one of those mysteries in
politics that nobody has ever been able
to explain. His voluminous and dis
iointcd decisions have exhausted the
patience of every practitioner in Nevada.
The denomination OF Charles F. Bick-
nell for Clerk of the Supreme Court is, in
some respects, strong. That he is an
expert and faithful Clerk is conceded,
but he IS rot by any means the only man
in Nevada who possesses these qualiica-
tions. He has already held the Clerk
ship for eight years and there are plenty
Of voters who have unalterably made up
their minds never to vote for q nan for
the third term.
Mr.. Hallock, renominated for State
Controller, is one of the strongest men
the Republicans have put on their ticket.
He will be a hard man to throw down,
and the Democrats should see to it that
no SLOUGH is put up against him. We car
"horse" him, but it will require our best
timber to do it.
George Tuly, for Treasurer, is a fan
nomination. He is a German, and it il
presumed that he will carry the mos
OF that element, which, however, we d.
not believe. The Germans are not sniff
GENTLY clannish to desert a good man o
their own party even for "Uncl
George" We believe that Tufy will
carry no more han his party vote.
w. H. Davenport is a Eureka man
the present District Attorney, for whicl
Office he got a fair majority in the las
election. He is one Of our neighbors an
We are not disposed to pitch into him to-
roughly, but are bound to express GU
convictions that George Merrill will bea
him out of sight for Attorney General.
j. NJ, Dormer, a brother of the quill
is a fresh man in State politics, and 70
that reason, perhaps, will run we'll
Men without public record are often thu
strongest. Johnny was Schoolmastel
General of Esmeralda County once and il
that office endeared all the schoolmarm'
to himself. They will, no doubt, cleo
tione r for him.
The nomination of j. c. Harlow fol-
State Printer we believe is one OF the
best and most acceptable on the ticket
Harlow is a good printer and a very
popular man. Well have to nominate
the best printer that the Democrats car
trot out to beat him.
c. S. Young, for superintendent o.
Public Instruction, has been for five
years Principal of the Gold Hill schools,
which have been well managed. He will
poll his party vote. The Democrats will
have to nominate a popular man and a
successful practical teacher to get away
with him.
c. c. Prebble is seemingly a new man.
The SENTINEL has never heard of him
before, hence will wait for facts before
attempting his picture or going after his
scalp.
Last, but not least, comes the appro-
pirate nomination, by the Virginia &
Truckee Railroad, of C. E. Laughton fol
Lieutenant-G Governor. C. E, is paymaster
Of the road, and one of the finest ANA,
