THE .ALL POWERFUL"

Arthur McEwen in his CORE
spondence of the Bee, in abiding
to the Senatorial fight Of three
years ago says Of Col. Fair:
None of the Republican papers
dared to attack this all-powerful
millionaire, who held the fate Of
Comstock, and practically Of the
whole State, in his hand.
IF the correspondent will look at
the back files of the APPEAL OF
that date he will discover that the
APPEAL kept up a systematic fight
against the ''all-powerful'' until he
got mad and stopped all the AP-
pEALs that were being taken at the
various Comstock mines under his
control. In this fight we regret to
say the APPEAL was not seconded
by the balance Of the Republican
press, who seemed to have the same
idea Of Fair that children have Of
a big pumpkin, followed out and
cut to resemble a CHASTITY face
which is lit up by the light of a
candle inside. Youngsters are ter
rified at this vegetable apparition
until they find out that it is only
an old rotten pumpkin. People
are beginning to regard Col. Fair as
simply an old rotten pumpkin
whom no one need fear. His own
party is headed with the majority
against him, and he can only win
by open corruption, and the same
sort of unblushing bribery of voters
that was witnessed in his interest
before in Washoe and Eureka
counties.

decided that the elections held last

as the Office has no salary attached

In Thackeray's "Vanity Fail" is

FITz LEE.-Gen. Fitz Lee, from the same
district, is decidedly the most popular can
didate for Governor; but as his nomination
would very much weaken Mr.. Barbour's
chances for the Senate, many ofthe latter's
friends very naturally would refrain from
expressing preference for Lee. Fitz Lee,
however, is not only man of experience
and ability, but is emphatically popular
man, whom the boys love to applaud, and
who is endeared to the people by frank
and noble manhood above all prejudices,
and of a sympathetic character that adapts
itself to all occasions, either of responsible
ty, festivity, or hardship, with an equal
temper for all. At the close of the war,
though his name and reputation have secur-
ed lucrative and ornamental position, he
hitched his cavalry horse to the pillow, and
not only during that summer, but for many
seasons afterward, he proved that he was
able to start at the beginning and win with
only natures gifts of industry and persever-
ance. He has twice received large vote
for the gubernatorial nomination, but with
out any of the usual political canvassing on
his part.-Louisuille Courier-Journal.

CONSUL TO FALERMo.-Page McCarty,
the Washington correspondent of the Rich
mond State, in reference to the contempla-

consul to Palermo, says
1t is said in official circles that one of the
able legislators of Virginia, who managed
some of the knotty questions with particu-
lar ability, especially those involving the
decapitation of Malone judges, will be ap-
pointed Consul at Palermo, Italy. 1t is
