What Ex-Governor Kinlsad Thinks
Of n Approaching Contest.

Ex-Governor Kinkead, Of Nevada
was interviewed at Ogden last Monday
by a Pilot reporter with the following
rather spicy result
"What are the prospects In Nevada,
politically, GOVERNOR"
Gov. Kinkead-"The whole matter
depends upon n proposition, coin.
Ii the bonanza people keep out of the
fight and Just leave the State to its
natural results, the Republicans will
have an easy victory
Reporter-"Who will then be
elected United States Senator?"
Gov. Kinkead-"Senator Jones will,
In all probability, be reelected. There
is ON little opposition to him, but it
has not yet assn med any definite form,
and doubt very much II IL ever will.
Mr.. Jones' national reputation has re-
Elected so much credit on our State
hat even the few who might be
inclined to oppose him would not do
SO in my opinion"
Reporter--Who, 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 l said before, l DO not thiak
Mr.. Jones has any reason to fear il the
Legislature is Republican.
Repor,er-We hear it rumored that
John w. Mackay Is an aspirant. How
is that?
Gov. Kinkead-I believe 1t to be so
myself, under certain circu instances.
Mr.. Mackay is ambitious, and Mrs.
Mackay, who makes her home In
Paris, would very much enjoy being
the wife Of an United States Senators;
but there are two reasons why Mr..
MacKay will not aspire for the place
this year. Firsf, his relations with
Mr.. Fair at present are anything but
friendly, aud as Mr.. Mackay Is a man
of decided will he will not care to have
"A seat in the Senate with Fair as his
colleague.
.~Secondly, Mr.. Mackay has To-
several schemes on the tapis that may
call for some attention by Congress,
his postal telegraph, for instance, aud
other matters that have mol yet been
made public. This being the case,
he would rather be friend Jones and
have the benefit OF his assistance there
than run the risk OF prejudicing his
chances by trying to put them through
himself."
Rep.-Why do you fear that the
State may go Democratic?
Gov. kinkead--s'If Senator Fair
could be flattered into the idea that
IL would be a feather in his cap to
carry Nevada for the Democrats, he
might be induced to put up "A few
thousand TO accomplish the result.
Ii such should be the case the fight
would be a bitter one. Jimmy don't
like 10 part with his coin, however. and
we do not fear him much"
Rep.-'.In cas- the State should go
Democratic, who do you think would
be the next United States Senator7"
Gov. Kinkead-''There is where we
feel pretty sure Of our success. Fair
being "A mar of ordinary capacity, he
naturally would not care 10 place a
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
10 go into the tight. At present |
think if any man from that party
stands any show it is MIR. Stone, OF
Virginia CITY,"
Rep.-How about Cassidy
Gov. Kinkead-"Fair will v do
anything Tor Cassidy, Heistoo smart
for Jimmy. lie would take so great
a lead that Fair would sink into
insignihcanee.'
Reporier-.sBut we hear Cassidy
frequently spoken of-how is itf"
Gov. Kinkead-"The parties who
are talking Of Cassidy for Senator, are
those who are looking for his seat in
the House-such as Dennis, ofTusca-
rora and others. They are talking
him up for the Senate TO make a place
for themselves
