.x.ruKw Prediction.

The SENTINEL predicted the nomina-
sion Of Mayor Pond by the Democrats
for Governor Of California. II now pre-
diets his triumphant election BY . major.
isy ranging anywhere from 1000 to H.
600. Pond is as certain TO be the next
Governor Of California as Al election is
to be held. AZ . matter OF fact, the
whole Democratic ticket will be elected
in the Golden state this Fall. The Leg
i~slature will also be Democratic, and we
are 10 have . Democratic United States
Senator to take the place Of Leland
Stanford. Steve NJ. White Of Los An.
geles is the man who will knock the
Senatorial persimmon almost without an
effort. Steve White is the sblest man
Of either party, by long odds, in the
State Of Californis. He will make 3
great and winning campaign. Tom
Clunie and Jim Budd and the rest Of the
Democratic aspirsnts will not be heard
Of in the race. Neither OF them de-
serves to be mentioned in the same
mouth with Steve White. 1t is in the
air that the name Of the Republican
party in California this fall is mud
from top to bottom. Pond for Governor
and White for Senator will sweep the
field. Stsnford's corrupt millions will
not make q p%erceptible impression Oh
the fight.

boon

The SENTINEL predicted more than Q
month ago that Pond would be the Dem.
ocratic and Markham the Republican
candidate for Governor Of California.
Both have since been nominated by their
respective parties. It has been apparent
Tor q long time that these gentlemen
must be the standard bearers. The
vision looking down from the noun
tains seems to be clearer than anything
on the ground. There were men in each
OF the conventions who thought that
other favorites would be nominated up
to the last ballot. We do not claim for
the SENTINEL the gift of extraordinary
prophecy. but it usually manages to fore.
cast political events. II is not always
compelled to tell all IL knows, but when
it guesses at all il never falls far short Of
the mark. As q political prognosticator
the SENTINEL has no equal in the West.
It's Judgment Of . national campaign is
equally unerring.

The people proper haven't . word to say

not put to the dissgreeable task Of
thinking. Some Of them may think

This is all done for them by the rail-
roads aud bosses. There is no alterns-
tive. The great mass Of Republicans
are q docile set Of beings. They will
swallow any dose prepared for them and
cry for more. There is nothing in our
politics half so humiliating as this abject
serviIity to boss rule. 1t lie . shame and
disgrace to our manhood. There is but
little decenoy in Nevada politics. A
large percentage Of the votes are either
ooerced or bought in the open market.
II is high time that we had q little de-

high time that some Of the corrupt
bosses were hanged to convenient lamp

CONGRATULATIONS In ORDER.

The Republicans of Nevada are to be
congratulated on the choice OF the rail-
roads and bosses Of q candidate to rep
resent them in the lower branch Of Con-
gress. That veteran Republican, Mr..
Frank G.. Newlands, Of San Francisco,
is the man. He has been selected in
private caucus and will get the nomina-
tion beyond doubt. The Republican
bosses would nominate the devil from
hell If he had a sack. A sack is the
sole qualification and prerequisite.
Mr.. Newlands has never yet voted the
Republican ticket in this or any other
State. Until six months ago he was q
rampant Democrat. Six months & he
was q resident Of California. or New
York, or the District Of Columbia. Ger.
tsinly he did not claim Nevada as his
residence until recently. Possibly he
changed his politics from conviction and
possibly for Office. He is alleged TO
have changed. and for one of the Q
sons stated. He is intellectually q very
light weight to represent anybody any
where. There are one thousand Repub-
licans in Nevada better qualified in
every way to represent this State in
Congress than Mr.. Newlands. We are
for home rule and want bona fde citi-
zens for office. We will not object to a
yellow dog If he has lived among us
long enough in good faith to become a
citizen. But while others may do as
they please, we will be found opposing
mere carpet baggers, come from whence
they may, while we shall have q voice
or pen to raise in behalf of decency in
the political affairs Of the State. We
shall insist that every candidate shall be
able 80 show at least one poll tax receipt
before aspiring TO office ct the hands Of
the people.

Is q symbol Of what may be in the

Vermont has lost in population since
