SENATOR Pairs LETTER.

The Silver State agrees with the Sen.
TINEL, that Senator Fairs letter of de.
clination should have been given to the
public at once. 1t says:
In the campaign just closed Nevada
Democrats were placed in a false position
by the Republicans. When the cry of lm-
ported candidate was raised against
Stewart. his retainers retorted with the
charge that Fair was almost as much OF a
Californian as Stewart. As the Stewart
men were supported by the sack, while the
Democrats had to labor under the disad-
vantage OF favoring Fair for the Senate
without a sack, the only thing that pre-
vented their utter humiliation at the polls
WAS the ~unpopularity of Stewart.
1t may have been good policy to have
withheld this letter from the public so long
az there was q probability that Mr.. Fair
might rescind his resolution and enter the
contest, but the moment it was definitely
ascertained that he was not a candidate
there could be no good reason for with
holding the fact from the public. A de-
termined fight for a Nevadan for Senator
would have won the fight against an i'm
ported candidate and the sack, and il the
members OF the Legislature are true to
their constituents il will yet win.

NOVEMBER ~. 1886.


The Senatorial contest is the question
OF absorbing interest to the people OF
Nevada at this time. That the readers
of the SENTINEL may know how the pa
pers are talking we give extracts from
our State exchanges pro and con i'm.
partially. The following boom is from
the Carson Tribune:
Hon. w. NJ. Stewart has done so much
for the Republican party during the past
campaign that it would be the basest in
gratitude to defeat him for the high office
to which he aspires. Aside from this he is
pre.eminently the ono for the position,
for no man the State could send to Wash
ington would be received as he will by the
magnates of the Capital. With w. M.
Stewart and John p. Jones in tho Senate
and Billy WOODBURY. in Congress. the In
ture OF Nevada's prosperity will be as
sured. In the canvass Mr.. " hss
spent his own money, and ~gloriously he
done it.. Since his return to Carson he
has expended more coin than Fair has
done in all his years OF residence in Ne
yada; he has been called on for aid to
every charity and has nobly responded; no
sick or impecunious person has approached
him and been turned away from his office
door, and this no one dare to deny. The
detractors OF Hon. W. M. Stewart should
hide their diminished heads and await the
decision of thS Legislature without fur
Their attempt at decrying him or his &C.
knowledged ability, for every day that
passes between now and the joint conven-
tion of the Legislature creates, in the
minds OF thinking men, q desire to have
him represent the people Of Nevada in the
United States Senate.
The State election is over and all the i'll
feeling engendered during the campaign
should be buried in forgetfullness. and
those who desire to see the Silver
State assume its former property ought
now to join hand in hand TO assist in
securing the services OF the most able
men in the halls of Congress, and most
certainly no one has been mentioned who
can claim to be the peer Of W. M. Stewart.
The man or set of men, claiming to be
Republican in sentiment who will oppose
the election Of the gentleman referred to.
ought to be cast outside the pale OF the
Republican party in Nevada. So says the
Nevada Tribune, and will continue the
song until Mr.. Stewart shall have re-
ceived his election at the hands Of the Re-
publican Legislature.
Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1886-11-12
GENERAL rawSGNG PAYS HIS
RESPECTS.

General Powning continues to oppose
Stewart in every issue of his paper, the
Reno Journal. In a recent number he
says:
The Journal intends to be fair in this
fight. Stewart is not the choice OF the
Republicans or the people of this State.
He can only be the Senator by the corrupt
use of railroad money. Upon a popular
vote he would not receive five hundred in
the State. His election will be an ever
lasting shame and disgrace TO the State,
and will forever be q disoredit to it. The
people demand Wren, Daggett, WOODBURY.,
BOYLE, Stevenson, or any honest man. II
is an outrage upon their intelligence to as
sumo that the recent election WAS q decia-
ration in favor Of Stewart. 1t is an In
famous lie. and no matter what may hap
pen, or how many railroads want him
every decent man knows that Stewart is q
carpet. Dagger and the railroad candidate
and every Republican who votes for him
votes for him because of that and because
the railroads wan him.

TRYING TO STEAL THE SEN
ATORSHIP.o

Under the above caption the Carson
Free Lance holds forth as follows:
The Democratic press still have hopes
that through Fairs sack they will &C.
cure a Democratic United States Senator.
They compliment Powning, Wren aud
Daggett, and denouuce Stewart. hoping
thereby to create further dissension in the
Republican party. There is reason why
the Democrats should love Powning, for
he gave Washoe county to the Democracy.
Blu why Wren or Daggett? But wouldn't
il be as well for the Democrats to mind
their own business? This ia Republican
pie. Stewart made q gallant fight. He
thwarted Fairs movements as 10 other
man could, and routed the Democracy
horse and dragon. 1t is not hat the
Democrats like Stewart less han other
Republican leaders. but they like Fair
more. The same mercenary elements that
six years ago coaxed Sutro to steal the
SenAtorship from Fair are now urging
Fair to come into Nevada TO steal the SEN
atorship from Stewart and the Republican
party. The Senatorship is in the hands Of
the Republican party and no Democratic
thieves, no matter how expert. shall
wrench the prize from the Republican
praaD.
