Something Regarding Col. Fair: :
His Fighting Interests and
LabOrS for the state.


EDITOR APPEAL: Sir-The COM
ing Senatorial fight, although in
the distant future, naturally en-
crosses public opinion. The Dem
ocratic press and party, with singu-
lar unanimity, endorses the candi-
dacy of the present incumbent,
Hon. James G. Fair, and while
they eoncede the fact that Senator
Fair has no property interest in
the State, not even constructive
residence. and admitting that he as
Senator has done nothing for the
State, or to advance its material
interests, except to dignity his seat
in the Senate by the lavish expen-
diture of Nevada money in social
entertainment, and while they
further admit that California
claims him as one Of her wealthlest
and most respected citizens and
capitalists. yet the gentlemen who
control the party in this State in
dorse him Why? Because they
need him! His barrel" must be
tapped, and the tap will be made
to yield freely to afford them the
sinews with which to conduct the
State campaign. With equal perth
nacity they insist that We, the Re
publicans of Nevada, have no eligi-
bic candidate for this position VIII o
is resident of Nevada! This fall
lacy may please their vanity and
suit their ends, but [ hardly feel
that the people will think SO. They
refer with cutting irony to the
presumed candidacy Of ex-senator
Stewart, Il gentleman than whom
none has ever better represented
Nevada. Mr.. Stewart has taken
up his residence with Us again,
and as a matter Of fact has never
had any other. He has been in
Nevada quite as much Of the time
during the past fifteen years, as
elsewhere-and his thoughts, aspi-
rations and efforts, either present
or absent, have all been directed to
the advancement Of the home
which did him honor.
I do not know that Mr. Stewart
is a candidate for the Senate. /
do know that after many years OF
unsettled life he and his, have been
pleased to decide that there 5 no
place like homc ~ and, actuated by
this feeling. have chosen this lovely
city for their future abiding place,
having honorabIy, and with dis
tinction represented this State,
surely Senator Stewart cannot be
called a carpet-bagger, or an i'm
ported candidate. Does not years
continual residence entitle and
warrant the political aspirations or
any citizen Of this State ? and is
not the Republican party justified
in selecting him, or any other repu-
table citizen, to represent the IN
terests Of this State in the Senate
of the Z. s., and can there be any
question as to the ability Of Sena-
tor Stewart, or General Powning,
or Messrs. NJ. D. Foley, Thomas
Wren or C. c. Stevenson to actually
represent the people Of the State,
and not n,jsreprcsent them as Fair
has done. \ silver man, as he
claims, he permitted the issuance
of an order by the Treasury De-
partment allowing, aye compelling,
the shipment Of Nevada bullion
to the San Francisco Mint, this
years ago. He has allowed active
work on the L. S. Building here
to be repressed in the hope that
by the employment Of a large
number of Democratic laborers he
can carry Ormsby county in his
interest next year. He has al
lowed the Mint to be closed and
tacitly, at least, Endorsed the
statement Of Mint Director Kim
ball that Nevada had ceased to
produce bullion enough to supply
the United States Mint at Car
son. His name is odious. Out
upon such a representation. The
time has come when the citizens
Of Nevada will not submit to this
or any other yoke. Let US select
any Republican who has the vital
interest Of the people at heart, and
fear not the result.
