CARSON CITY, New. June 20.-The retro
eressive State OF Nevada 10 mainly dominated
by the mining camps on tho Comstock. and the
Comstock 10 chiefly owned In San Francisco; ;
80 that. practically, Nevada 10 but . borough
held by such shrewd. wealthy. and ambitious
politicians Of San Francisco as caro- to control
1t. With the single exception OF James W.
Nye. It has always been represented In the
United States Senate by men whose actual
residence Is San Francisco.
Nevada was admitted into the Union as .
State before its population numbered the min
imum fixed for representation In the House OF
Representatives. It never has had the popu-
lation which would constitute a Representative
district in any State entitled to two or moro
Representatives In Congress. There are
number OF wards In tho city Of New
York which contain moro population than
Nevada ever could boast; and yet ever
since Its admission into the Union. Nevada
has been represented In Congress- by two
Senators and one Representative. There never
were 10000 people. including Cinnamon and
Indians not taxed in all the State. The census
OF 1870 gave 1t q population OF 42.491. The
great boom which followed the discovery Of the
big bonanza materially increased those figures.

living human beings in tho State. But since
the big bonanza petered out the population has
been disappearing until now there are proba-
bly, no moro there than in 1870.
At the Presidential election in 1879 Nevada
cast grand total OF 14.649 votes; in 1876 there
were cast 1851; In 1850 tho total was 1S.345.
and In 1884 tho number fell on to 12797-a
smaller vote than had been polled In twelve
years. And yet these 12.797 voters have an
equal voice In tho United states senate with
tho millions OF the State OF New York and have
ono vote In the House OF REPRESENTATIVES,. Ana
whyT Because It was necessary originally. In
1865 In order to pass tho anti-slaVery amend
ment to the Federal Constitution; and now tho
wealthy mining men OF San Francisco profit by
1t. 1t helps them In multitude OF ways. but
principally in their business. They are shrewd
fellows. those bonanza kings and silver princes.
1t Is mystery to many people how these san
Franciscans manage to control the politics OF
state OF which they are not even residents.
But the mystery disappears when II 10 uhoer-
stood that. besides owning all there ls worth
possessing In the borough whose voters are
principally their employees. they nave COM
