LOCAL POLITICAL RUMORS,

Ror brand new polltlcal rumorS
one generally has to turn to the
columns OF the Sentinel Here are
its most recent predictions:
1t is a good long way ahead of
time, but the people Of the State
of Nevada are beginiag already to
discuss next years Senatorial bat
tie in this State. The Legislature
to be chosen next year must elect
Senator Stewart successor. The
Senator will, as a matter of course
try to succeed himself. AS things
stand today he has a great deal of
opposition in his own party. But
corporate pressure and the rail-
road sack will smoth things over
and harmonic the elements TO a
remarkable degree when the time
comes. There is q large element
in the Republican party in Nevada
who hate Stewart because he
voted with Stanford for the con
firmation of Lamar one of the
Justices of the Supreme Court,
and also voted against the hayo-
net election bill. His greatest off,
cial sin, that of the killing of the
Union Pacific Railroad funding
bill, whereby Charles Francis Adj
ans was prevented from extend
ing the Union Pacific across New
ada 10 competition with the Cen
trail Pacific, is never thought of by
the Republicans of Nevada. The
Republican party and the Central
Pacific Railroad are one in New
ada. As loyal subjects of the cor
poration they cannot find fault
with Senator Stewart for doing
the bidding Of their common mas
ter. Stewards highest allegiance
is the Central Pacific Railroad.
He is for the railroad against the
State. Adams would have built
through Nevada three years ago
but for Senator Stewart killing
his funding bill. 1t will be re
membered that the House passed
a bill extending the Union Pacific
debt to the government, fifty years
at three per cent interest. When |
the bill reached the Senate, Stew |
art tackled on little amendment |
extending the Central Pacific debt |
one hundred years at two per
cent. This amendment killed the |
bill, as it should have done. Both
companys were aided by the gov
eminent, and both should be
treated alike in the settlement.
The Union Pacific had not the
credit to build a thousand miles
Of new road without getting the
government obligation
out of the way Stewart and the
Central Pacific knew this, and so
shaped the proposed legislation in
! way to prevent the Union Pa
cific establishing credit But all
his will make little difference with
5he politics of Nevada. Our peo-
pie do not want competing line
through the State. They want
he devil if he be a Republican,
which he most assuredly is.
1t is quietly whispered that ex-
Senator Fair is again shifting the
colitical breezes from Nevada.
The evidences Of some alleged I
that hung over him
have been gathered and consigned
to the flames. This gives him q
clean bill OF health. It is said
that he will fight Stewart or New
ands, but not Machay, should the
after conclude to run. Fair does
lot live in the State, but he is as
much resident of it as Stewart or
Jones or Newlands. They all be-
ong in the same boat.
A. G. 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 a better
ynnatni than an1r Of them He |
