cal Contest as Viewed in Mormon
DOM.
The following we clip from the Salt Lake
Democrat. It's writer is evidently pretty
we'll posted on the states being framed fol
the coming contest:
The indications are favorable for q boom.
ing campaign next Fall in our neighboring
State of Nevada. Hon. r. M. Dsggett has
returned to the State, and it is reported
that he has abandoned his Senatorial aspi-
ra,ions and will assume editorial charge OF
the Virginia Enterprise. That means that
be is committed to the interest Of W. M.
Stewart, as the proprietors of that paper are
among the ~latter's most prominent hackers.
The arrangement by which Mr.. Daggett is
induced to withdraw is unknown, but it
was doubtless satisfactory to him as we'll
as to all others concerned. Mr.. Stewart
will also be supported by the Central Pa
cifc as well as by the other railroad COM
panies generally throughout the State. He
is not, however. without opposition in his
own party. C. G. Powning, OF Washoe. 10
o pronounced and active candidate, and il
liable TO become exceedingly troublesome
before the closing of the campaign. He is
active and presevering. and has already ac-
cumulated considerable strength in the
western portion of the State, and is almost
certain to secure a unanimous legislative
delegation, from his own county. Ex-Con-
gresham Wren is also in the field and an
nounces his intention of remaining there
until the closing of the Republican caucus,
unless his party is showed under at the cleo
ton. His is a strongly Republican county,
and he will doubtless secure the entire del
egation, and also other representatives in
the eastern part of the State. The probsbil-
tiles are, however, if the Republicans carry
the Legislature, that Mr.. Stewart will
have votes enough in caucus to insure his
nomination and consequently his election.
The Democrats will doubtless unite upon
Senator Fair, who is generally understood
to be a candidate for reelection. He is
the only Democrat, apparently, who has
q reasonable chance for election, and
while there are prominent members OF his
party who would doubtless prefer some
other man. il is conceded that his candi-
dacy will greatly enhance the chances OF
success for the candidates on the Demo-
cratic State and county tickets. He has,
moreover, made q good general and politi-
cal record in the Senate, and has been
particularly industrious and active con-
corning the local interests OF his State.
Present appearances indicate the re-nom-
ination of j. W. Adams, the present
incumbent. for Governor. He is exceed
ingly popular and has always polled 9
heavy vote outside OF his party. Hon. G..
W. Cassidy will doubtless be nominated
for Congress. Although defeated for q
variety OF causes at the last election, they
will not exist this year and he will in all
probability be elected by q handsome
majority. Judge @. H. Belknap is not
likely to have any opposition for the nom
ination for Supreme Judge. He ia the
strongest man for the position in his party
aud will ss heretofore carry the solid
Democratic vote besides receiving con-
siderable support from the other side.
The present outlook is certainly most
favorable for a sweeping Democratic
victory in Nevada this Fall.
