The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1886-12-25
HE DARK HORSE /"
TROTTED OUT FOR THE senate
RIAL RACE.

! The claims Of Eugene y. Robinson Of
White Pine superlatively Set Forth.
The following correspondence Is
| but one OF series of letters To the
same purport, that have in the past
week appeared in many of our State
exchanges and strangely, too, in
several of the NEST prominent Demo-
cratice papers. As stated by the NEWS
last week, Mr. Robinson is not our
choice, even from Republican stand
point, nor do we think his claims on
the people of Nevada for the highest
Office in their gift are at all up To the
standard claimed by our correspond
ent : While a laudable county pride
animates us in hoping a White Piner
will capture the Senatorial toga and
we will pot growl ii Mr.. Robinson
is the man-still We know there are
other members of the party in this
county-and many in the State-who
from the time Nevada put on the
swadding clothes of Statehood fought
her Republican battles, aud derseve
the prize. But if our Republican
friends see iii 70 adopt the Scripiural
maxim: the last shall be first, etc.
it is their business. nat ours. While
thus expressing our OWN opinions, We
place those of Mr.. Robinson's admir-
ers before the pnblic:
EUREKA. NEy. Dec. 4, 1888.
Ed. WHITE PINE NEWS: Ghc time
is rapidly approaching when the Leg
islature OF this State must decide ON
some oae to represent US in the SEN
ate of the United States. And as We
consider II the duty a. well as the
right of every citizen to declare his
choice. We write IL you, knowing you
to be an able representative ct the
the press, that mouthpiece Of ths
people,
VIM. n. Stewart is at present the
one most prominently mentioned Tor
that honorable position. That this
gentleman Is fully qualified by expe-
.ience and education we believe Ia be
generally acknowledged, bui that lie

denied. The friends and supporters

In scanning the columns Of tie
different Nevada papers We have quite
often seen the name uf gentleman
mentioned as dark horse or rs
one likely To become prominent
candidate in this comm. Senatorial
coatest. The gentleman Is one whose
every interest is closely allied with

y. Robinson of your own county,
White Pine.
Mr.. Robinson has been for several
years, and still is actively engaged in
the pursuit of silver mining in this
State, and for that reason we know
that no one would more carefully
guard our interests than he. He las
always been decidedly in favor of
white labor as against that of cOolie,
and no man can be sent to the United
States Senate that would do more 10
rid the Pacific Coast of the curse
thrown uroni it, than Eugene Robinson.
If, elected, Mr.. Robinson will, with
out doubt, take delight in serving the
State for its best interests, and, that
he would accomplish whatever he I'M
