The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1892-11-12
W AND NEWLANDs.

Nevada elected Il Legislature which
insures the reelection OF VIM. M. Stewart
TO the United States Senate by a MAORI
ETY. of thirty or more Oh joint bollot, con-
ceding that six OF the nine Follower Sem
ators are against him. Francis G.. New
lands is elected to the House of Repre-
senatives by a majoriety OF Jour or five
thousand. In consequence OF the cleo
ton of Cleveland, and Democratic
ascendancy in National affairs, those
gentlemen will have much greater in
1uence in both Houses oil Congress by
reason of the independent position which
they occupy, than they would as Repub-
Leans. Should the Populists hold the
balance of power in the next House OF
Representatives, as they certainly will in
the Senate. they can accomplish much
more for the interests of the State, than
they could hope to do as Republicans.
Both are able, aggressive and energetic.

interests at the expense OF those of their
constituents. The one will not, while
assuming to be the great champion OF
the Silver cause, Use any influence to
elect a president, who is opposed to free
coinage at the present ratio, and who
we are told by John Sherman would
veto a free coinage bill, and the other
will not, as the Representative OF Ne
vada, vote for a pronounced goldbng for
Speaker, and declare in the House that
free coinage is OF more importance than
Nevada, place party success before free
coinage, and endeavor to get his constit-
uents to support Il party that gave only
eight votes for the Stewart bill in the
House OF Representatives on the 18th oil
last July. No; Stewart and Newlands
will do none OF these things. They
have publicly declared that they will
make earnest and honorable endeavor to
secure favorable silver legislation re.
CARELESS of its effect on party, and the
vote of last Tuesday furnishes incontro-
vertible proof that people believe them.
The above from the Journal is about
the condition of thing in truth. During
the campaign the idea that Stewart and
Newlands would not have any influence
in Congress was used as a battering ram
by the opposition, and no shining light
as editor or orator so much as limited
that the Democrats would &c control OF
the Senate. 1t was just as likely to occur
as the balance OF power" which was
not allowed to be unemployed in any
stirring silver speech or editorial. We are
happy to know that the people had the
good sense to elect both gentlemen and do
so in such a pleasing manner. Nevada
has done the best thing she could possible
have done in sending these men, whose
ability is known, to Congress with entire
independence. They are a credit to the
intelligence OF Il people and we may in
turn be proud of them. They gave up
everything for the cause which they
made their battle cry and took chances
which ambition OF personal advancement
never would have taken. Their hearts
are in their work and they will earnestly
endeavor to accomplish what they have
set out to do. Tue fight will be a hard
one and we predict a long one, but like
the Democratic success in the late cam
paign, the conditions may change at
any time and with these leaders the
battle may be won.
Nevada has done we'll her action will
at least wake the great East up to the
fact that the people OF Nevada have faith
in Senator Stewart and appreciate him
and his past work. lie has their conf
dence, their regard, and their support.
We congratulate the people Of Ne
yada and OF Washoe upon securing VIM.
NJ. Stewards services for another term,
and we congratulate VIM. NJ. Stewart
npon the handsome endorsement his
constituents gave him. We are proud of
the fact that Wadsworth was in line for
Stewart and Newlands; she can always
be rus cd TO 10 the right.
