Il is good long way ahead Of time,
but the people Of Nevada are beginning
already 10 discuss next years Senatorial
battle in this State. The Legislature 10
be chosen next year must elect Senator
Stewards successor. The Senator will.
a. . matter Of course, try 10 succeed him
self. As things stand to-day be has .
great deal Of opposition in his own party.
Bat corporate pressure and the railroad
sack will smooth things over and har-
monte the elements 10 Q remarkable
degree when the time comes. There is
large element in the Republican party in
Nevada who hate Stewart because he
voted with Stanford for the confirmation
Of Lamar a. one Of the justices Of the
Supreme Court, and also voted against
the bayonet election bill. His greatest
Official sin, that Of killing the Union Pa
ci6c Railroad Fu1ding bill. whereby
Charles Frances Adams was prevented
from extending the Union Pacific across
Nevada in competition with the Central
Pacific. is never thought Of BY the Re
publicans Of Nevada. The Republican
party and the Central Pacific Railroad
are one in Nevada. AZ loyal subjects Of
the corporation they cannot find fault
With Senator Stewart for doing the bid
ding Of their common master. Stewards
irst and highest allegiance Is TO the Gen.
trail Pacific Railroad Company. He is
for the railroad against the State. Adams
would have built through Nevada three
years ago bu. for Senator Stewart killing
his funding bill. II will be remembered
that the House passed . bill extending
the Union Pacific debt TO the government
dfty years at three per cent interest.
When the bill reached the Senate, Stew

ing the Central Pacific debt one hundred
years at two per cent. This amendment
killed the bill, as il should have done.
Both companies were aided alike by the
government, and both should be treated
alike in the settlement. The Union Pa
ci6c had not the credit to build . thous-
and miles Of new road without getting
the maturing government obligation out
Of the way. Stewart and the Central
Pacific knew this, and 80 shaped the
proposed legislation in . way to prevent
the Union Pacific establishing = credit.

the latter conclude to run. Fair does
not live in the State. but he is IS much
a resident Of it as Stewart or Jones OF
Newlands. They all belong in the same
boat.
A. C.. Cleveland, Of White Pine, is
talked Of in some quarters as a candidate
within the Republican party to fight
both Stewart and Newlands and other
Corners. Cleveland not only lives in the
State but would make q better Senator
han any of them. He has more ability
than any Of them.
The Farmers Alliance candidate will
develop in due time.
