KINKEAD on THE OUTLOOK

!. Ex-Governor Kinkead of Nevad
. Vas int .rviewed at Ogden last Nor
day by a Pilot reporter the follow
ing result:
"What are the prospects in Nevada
politically, Governor"
Gov. -"The whole matte
depends upon ono proposition
coin. If the bonanza people keel
oct of the fight and just leave tn
State to its natural results, the Re
publicsns will have an easy vic
tory"
Reporter 'Who will then be ele.
ted United States Ssnator?"
! Gov. Kinkead-''Senator Jones
will. in all probability, be re-elec
ted. There is some little opposi.
ton to him, but it has not yet as.
sumed any definite form, and
doubt very much If itever will.
Mr.. Jones national reputation has
reflected 50 much credit or our
State that even the few who might
be inclined to oppose him would
not do SO in my opinion.
Reporter-Whc, if anybody. has
any standing against him among
the Republicans?
Gov. Kinkead-Thomas Wren. of
| Eureka is talked of more than any
! one else, and in my opinion he
would be the man if any change were
made. but as 1 said before, l do
not think Mr.. Jones has any reason
to fear if the Legislature is Reprb-
! lican.
Reporter-We hear it run-ored
that John W.Mackay is an aspirant.
How is that?
Gov. kinkead-I believe it to be
so myself, under certain circum-
stances. Mr.. Mackay is ambitious,
and Mrs. Mackay, who makes her
home in Paris, would very much
enjoy being the wife of an United
States Senator; but there are two
reasons why Mr.. Mackay viii! not
aspire for the place this year.
First, his relations with Mr.. Fair
at present are anything but friendly
and as Mr.. Mackay is a man of de.
cided will, he will not care to have
a seat in the Senate with Fair as
his colleague.
Secondly, Mr.. Mackay has row
several schemes on the tapis that
may call for some attention by
Congress, his postal telegraph, for
instance, and other matters that
have not yet been made public
This being the clse, he would
rather befriend Jones and have the
benefit Of his assistance there than
run the risk of prejudicing his
chances by trying to put them
through himself"
Reporter-Why do you fear that
the State may 60 Democratic?
Gov, kinkead-''If Senator Fair
could Be fattered into the idea that
it would be feather in his cap to
carry Nevada for the Democrats, he
might be induced to put up few
thousand to accomplish the result.
If such should be the case the fight
would be a bitter one Jimmy
don't like to part with his coin,
however. and we DO not fear him
much"
Reporter-''In case the State
should go Democratic, who do You
think would be the next United
States Senator?'
Gov. Kinkead There is where
we feel pretty sure of our success.
Fair being q man of ordinary Ca
pacity. he naturally would not care
to place q man in the other seat
who would loom up too far above
him, hence, unless he gets smitten
with some man of ordinary talent,
and also one that could be elected, |
he will not be likely to go into the
fight. At present I think if any
man from that party stands any
show it is Mr.. Stone, Of Virginia
City"
Reporter-How about Cassidy?
Governor Kinkead-''Fair will
never do anything for Cassidy.
He is too smart for Jimmy. He
1euld take so great lead that Fair
would sink into insignificance."
Reporter-"But we hear Cassidy
