A SERIOUS CHARGE.

In his speech in Centennial Hall last
evening, James A. Stephens said that
emissaries of the Bonanza firm inter-
viewed Judge Leonard, of the Supreme
Court, and informed him that unless he
decided cases then pending in court, In
which the Bonanza firm was interested,
in favor of the firm, the firm would de-
feat him when he came before the peo-
ple for reelection. Mr.. Stephens
asserted this as a fact, giving Judge
Leonard himself as authority for the
assertion. This is one of the most Sc
rious charges ever preferred against
corporation, aud it seems strange indeed
that it has not been thoroughly
investigated. 1t is publicly pro-
claimed from the stump that a cor
poration, which counts its wealth
by millions, actually sent its
emissaries to one of the Judges OF
the Supreme Court TO influence 1ne oe-
cision of the Court in suits then before
it, in which the corporation was inter-
ested to the extent Of several thousand
dollars, by threatening to defeat his re-
election if his decision was adverse to
the corporation. There is no politics
in this matter; it is a question which
concerns all parties alike, and if it is
true, money should not shield those
guilty of such an outrageous attempt to
intimidate the highest judicial tribunal
in the State. What has the Terrific
rial Enterprise, which admits that one
of the Bonanza men is one OF its prlnci-
pal owners, to say to this charge of Mr..
Stephens?

THE RAILROAD POLITICAL SYSTEM,
/ will briefly describe now they tried to
control the Democratic County Con-
yention in the nomination of Sheriff.
Oliver Roberts, better known as Gill
holey, and o. X. Stampley, were the
candidates. Colonel Pete Cavanaugh,
who gained his military title in the
same way the Auditor of the V. & t.
obtained his-by being on Governor
Kinkead's staff, was selected by the
r. r. gang to press the candidacy of
Roberts. knowing if they could secure
his nomination that Swift, the railroad
candidate, would have no fight to make;
while they all knew that Stampley
would have beaten Swift badly. The
price the doughty Colonel is to receive
for this dirty piece of work is under

Immediately after election. In a recent
interview OF considerable length, be-
tween Yerington and Cavanaugh, the
latter was instructed to do Just as
tell you and it will be all right. mean
ing an appointment in the Carson Mint.
Have not things come to pretty pass,
when an alien can control absolutely,
not only the appointment of Cavanaugh,
but all appointments of the Carson
Mint? l will venture the assertion,
without any fear of successful contra
diction, that no man or woman, for the
last year and half, has received
Mint appointment without first gaining
Mr.. Yerington's permission. Crawford
is nothing but figure-head, and is
obliged to give everyone a place sent to
him by his High Mightiness. This re-
cent convert to the X. X. gang is the
same gentleman u who two years ago
received five hundred dollars from Sem
ator Fair, with which to make his fight
for Sheriff, and after his annihilating
defeat by Swift, took money from
Sutro to assist in his hopeless effort to
defeat Fairs election The V. Il T.
Superintendent is shrewd man, and

Cavanaugh's services for the next cam

CASSIDY AND MERRILL
Filled the Opera House on Thursday

by those who heard them, have no
doubt they both made friends and
votes. Mr.. Merrill, however, discov-
cred his mistake when too late, when
he INDUCED in that fulsome eulogy of
the old man at the State Prison, his
remarks failing to produce single re.
sponsive emotion. Should he again, by
any chance, address a Carson audience
during this or any future campaign,
there will be no danger of his repeating
this error.
