A strong COMPUTATION.

Tho Democratic State Ticket is a
pretty strong combination this year,
and Republicans must not think that
they have walk-over, for if they do
they will find themselves in the mi
nority next November. The Demo-
Gratis showed Lyon the courtesy Of
giving her a place on the ticket, and
this fact will tend to make the Demo.
cratic nominee for State Treasurer
poll good vote here. If Republi-
cans want to win this year they must
get in and rustle.-lLyon County
Times.
The above, coming from a Republi-
can paper, is cheering news FOR the
Democracy of Nevada. The Times
has heretofore admitted that the Re-
publicans expect to win with a
''sack," but the people are liable to
decide against them, Notwithstanding
Jones' sack.

Sack Measurement.

"There is no Democrat in the State
who will care to measure sacks with
Mr.. Jones for the U. s. Senatorship,"
exu!tingly exclaims the Lyon County
Times in an article which is copied
and commented upon approvingly by
the Enterprise. And yet the latter
berates the Chronicle for the state
ment that Republicans openly boast
that their State and Legislative tickets
will be elected because Of the lavish
expenditure of money on their side in
the election. The assertion that the
Republicans hear nothing Of this kind
OF money talk is too ridiculous for
serious comment or denial. It is as
common as the weather topic and
there is not the slightest attempt or
disposition to conceal the fact.-[Vir-
ginia Chronicle.
