THE MAN WHO SAVED EAE
DAY.

valed the Republican party OF TIL
State. 1t was ruWorcd all over III
Stat. and in San Francisco, tina
Senator Fair would crawl out Of hi
San Francisco den and capture tn,
Senatorship as be did SIX year
ago. The certainty that he was fnan
cially athletic do it, and the knowledg,
tina. he had tho ambition to repea
hi. meuied ravishing of the Stat,
created an uneasy feeling among
the Republicans Of Nevada. Thi.
feeling Of insecurity spread almost
into a panic when c. c. PowRing
of Washoe, with that political
inmodesty that seems eyer to
prompt an exposure Of his person
to the people Of Nevada, announced
that he was a candidate for
the United States Senate
His associations with Fair, and his
known weakness fo- fa:tery, made
it certain in every body's mind that
he vas a mere man Of straw set up
by Fair, and tina, on election day
he would be cheap man to knock
dcan.
II was well that letters went
over the mountains asking VIM. II.
Stewart who had made two success
ful fights for the Senaier.hIp, to
come over and lead the party in the
Campaign.
At this time John Mackay was
in Europe, and while it was gen
orally understood that he was bit
tefly opposed TO Fair, it was not
certain that he woald spend any
large amount of money TO beat hIE.
Powniug was sowing all the seeds
Of discord possible in the party,
aud without some leader Of recog-
nized ability the cause Of Repub,i-
canism was almost a hopeless one
In Nevada. Stewart came upon
the scene. and the instant he
stepped foot in the State it was the |
signal for the Powniugites and
Democrats to open their mud bat
teries upon hiu. This showed |
clearly how they regarded his /
strength, and IL did Lot take long
for the Zeal earnest men In the
party TO give him their support.
Far was not even voter III the
State, yet the Democrats who were
iishtlnc for HIM were continually
haunting Stewart, i voter and tax
payer, with nou-resloence.
Up TO the eve ST election Fair
was still doubtful. Stew
MacAay, and asked for Ioue, yet II
was well understood that If FAIRS
nuney Appeared on the field that
Nackay wouid scatter a million
dollars to conteraet Ii, # necessary
II Fair GId not use corruption
una Stewart felt well able 10 take
:are of his hight, FAIRS managers
Knew perfectly Well that Markays
Houey was Hanging over them
eaoy to drop as SOON as FAIRS
money appeared, and at the last
moment FAIR weakened and took
10 HAND In the tight.
Stewart with the right head for
aud the hard work that
as always characterized his politi- I
al battles carried tas war iuto
africa and made campaign that
'as beautiful to behold. Net
My did he carry his Legis.a-
We ticket by handsome majority
ut mis- enthusiasm aud confidence
arried courage aud back boue with
all alsag the line and gave splen r
Id backing to the State ticket.
'ut for Stewart the Democrats
'ould have carried this fight.
The party was in need of a good
shtiuy leader aud just when i, {
'aated one most it was favored
18th Stewart.
He has been endorsed by the b
eople who remember his splendid
cord in the Senate. He has So
6ifsd the party and from this GU
le wsrd will be passed along
10 line to put none but Republicans
, guard. For some years past the
ckers, drones and traitors, have
I'd a pretty good time in Nevada
