RENO, September 4.
To THE MORNING APPEAL:- "A
hirdseye view of what is commonly
designated "the situation" presents
| merely an uneasy, troubled mass OF
delegates, candidates, manipulators and
Il few bulldoscrs, who as yet have not
settled upon any we'll defined policy OF
business. A more independent co!lec-
ton Of dele gates never attended a Con-
vention, and the fact that the best
manipulators in the State have as yet
been wholly unable to fix slate or
form a combination-which mere than
two counties will accept-speaks we'll
for the status Of the delegates. They
have come 10 Reno as a rule unp!edged
on any Office of Importance, and the
buzzing Of professional iobbiest, coupled
with all the outside pressure which is
noticeable at such gatherings, fails to
have the slightest weight. Amy amount
of trades, combinations and states are
suggested, but nothing more is done.
Plenty of consignments are made
hourly, but the delivery Of the freight
Stems always to fall short. The bes:
judges are puzzled to take an inventory
of the situation, and everybody is at
sea.
GCBERNATORIAL.
None of the Gubernatorial candi-
dates feel sure of the ground they walk
On. Storey is. divided between Harris
and Strother, with one vote for Kin
kead and one for Evans. Harris claims
nine positively pledged and S1rother
claims the balance. In the event of Il
break neither Harris nor StrOther could
control their delegations. Out OF this
locality Woodburn's friends count Six
teen votes after the first ballot, kinkead
ten, and the rest non-comniittal. Cen
eral murphy is claimed as dark horse.
The Eureka delegation, under the con-
troll of Robinson and Bishop, are divid-
ed all over the field, but may be solidi-
fled at any moment. Bill Hobart
claims to have his pocket full of Base
Rangers, but the delegates only wink
one eye when questioned on the sub
ject. Blaisdell is in the field and look
ing for an opening where a dark horse
may worm his way to The front. Evans
has little strength outside of Washue,
and Curtis, who was rumored to lie in
the fight, is positiv ly Il non-comb 'tant.
No one can figure On the Governorship
with The slightest certainty.
SECRETARY OF STATE.
The fight for his office seems to be
down between Dan Lyons
and Dormer, with Lyons the favorite
after the first ballot.
Bicknell and Lammon are both con-
fident Of the Supreme Court Clerks. ip
Connor appears to be the choice for
Congress-.
Some of the Democratic pilgrims to
stayed here tonight. They
talk of Mayre of Storey as the dark
horse.
The general feeling here at the pres
ant writing is that the Convention is
to nothing and don't pro-
pose to be. 1t will take its time to
nominate a good, strong ticket. The
disposition to sink personal likes and |
lislikes for the sake of strength and |
was never more apparent.

by Isaac Requa. w. w. Bishop of
Eureka, Temporary Chairman, Was

party in Nevada and promised the
a victory in November
