WHAT MIGHT EAfPEA

nut up Tor lCl. Ellis. no I>r I-A l.
has no objection to this, as Col.
Ellis, barring the Silurian character
Of his politics, is = gentleman
worthy in every respect OF the con-
6deuce Of his fellow men. That he
has hope. of at least securing a
complimentary vo;e for U. s. Scaa-
tor. there can be ne doubt. Any
friend Of Col: Ellis, aud he has
many Of these in this community,
who thinks by vsting tho Mug
vump legislative ticket to help
Ellis, will be a sadly mistaken man.
ia majority Of the Legislature Is
Democratic this Fall, it means
nothing less than the election OF
Col. FAIR of San Francisco.
Of what avail would Ellis four
votes be, even if he carried them
in his vest pocket? In the caucus
they weuld be absorbed by Fair,
and that would be positively the
last of Ellis.
We do not believe that Col. 81
lis would willingly allow himself
to be made cats paw for Far,
but in the end it will amount to
inst the same thing.
Fair has laid his plans With bis
usual cunning. Cassidy is running
for the Senate in Eureka and parts
adjacent, Deal is the Storey candi-
date. Ellis is the Ocmsby contin-
gent, willie of course Powning Is
working tooth and tee nail in
WashOe.
The plan is to have Cassidy, Deal
and Ellis carry their counties, and
then after dead lock in the caucus
Fair comes in with his sack and
takes the Doodle.
This is done because Fair dare
not come up here and face his rot
ten record, and so far has only sent
his advance agent, the editor OF
the Chronicle, to sit at the foot Of
Mount Davidson and sling mud at
sill who object to the arch hend for
again debauchiag the people OF
this State. By keeping IN the
background until after the election
Fair is supposed to escape
the edium of seeing his III
famous record spread in the sun
light, and reviewing the bloody
,rai, which stretches from Caii-
foruia, over the Sierras, to Virginia
City. He has therefore put these
men to the fore IS figure heads Of
daccncy, while he furnishes the
s.news of war, and in case Of vie
tory will hog tho spells.
Fair knows as well IS anybody.
that we.e lie to come openly Into
the fch: it would cost half his
fortune to elect Democratic
ticket in Nevada, as his name has
lang been a by-word and stencil
among we'll thinking people, along
side of which the pu.rid carcass OF
mule ten days dead would seem
like the sweet scents OF Summer
flowers.
The question row arises, can
such men a. George Cassidy, ". E.
F. Deal and Col. A. c. Ellis. al
gentlemen Of integrity and repate,
afford to assist in the return to his
discarded seat in Washington, such
man as Jim Fair!
However these men may feel as
sursd Of 4 complimentary vote, or
perhaps success in reaching the
goal of Senatorial ambition: let
them besr in mind that X they ta!i,
aud through their instrumen.slity
send Fair to the Senate, the auxll-
larry part they may take IN the
work will make then the scorn and
contempt of their fellow men as
long as they live. No matter how
honest their Intentions nay be, the
State will not accord them any
good motives, and the nature of
the results they assist in bringing
about will adni: of no explanation
other than one which is bound to
place them in y most disagreeable
light. If they ever find themselves
placed in this dilemma let them re.
