CARSON CITY, New, May 10, 1882.
EDITOR SENTINEL State and local poll
tics form about the only exciting topic we
have at this quiet time. 1t is under
stood that all of our present County Off
cials, Sheriff Swift, County Clerk Hatch,
Assessor Kersky, ct al, will be candidates
for reelection. Ormsby County being so
strongly Republican, the hardest fighting
Is generally in the primaries and County
Conventions, and the preliminary sparring
has already commenced. E. @. Netherton
and Chip Smart are understood to be can
didates for the nomination of Sheriff, and
combinations, it is rumored, are being
formed in the interest Of the parties just
named. But Swift is a sly one in politics,
and it speaks well of him as a manipula-
tor that he has never been beaten in con-
yention in this county. The leading
Democrats of Ormsby are r~eticent as to
their plan for next Falls campaign, but it
is the common opinion that they will nom
mate a full County ticket. On State poll
tics the SENTINEL is no doubt better posted
than your correspondent. While Adams
and Caravan are prominently before the
people as Democratic candidates for Gov
ernor, it is we'll enough to know that they
are not the only gubernatorial candidates.

friends in Western Nevada who regard

man is not out of the fight, as many have
supposed, but is in the ring, and will have
a strong working delegation from Washoe
county. No one is named here for Con-
gress except our present efficient member,
and, Judging from the talk Of Republic
cans, his will be a thoroughly
one-sided fight. Daggett, I am as
sufed' Will receive the Sandwich Island
MISSION, which he asked for, and he will
nov be before the next Republican State
convention. This comes in a direct and
reliaole form. Governor Kinkead is the
only candidate now spoken of for a Guber-
material nomination at the hands Of the
republicans. Judge Leonard, it is gener-
any conceded, will be nominated with lit"
We or no opposition, for the Supreme
Judgeship.
A special train, chartered by a number
IsdsttIA capitalists, IL

pally for the purpose Of examining the

eompanied by Governor Kinkead, Super

John Sweeney, lessee of the Treadway
park, is here making arrangements for a
summer racing term covering the Fourth
OF July. Sweeney will also make some
needed improvements about the grounds
Tor the approaching picnic season. But
the dull times on the Comstock and here
do not augur well for a successful picnic
year, and on a m~oney-making proposition
Sweeney's venture is not regarded with
high favor.
There is nothing booked at the Carson
Opera House for this month or next, ex-
cept an entertainment for the benefit OF
