THE GOPHER CONSPIRACY.

There has recently developed
conspiracy against Senator Stewart
which is one of the most underhand-
ed pieces of political chicanery ever
known in Nevada poll tics.
There are several candidates IN the
field already for the United States
Senate. They do not come openly
to the fore but are quietly burrowlng
and gophering around in the ground
to undermine Stewart, ostensloly
working for Bartine but IN reality
working for themselves. Their plan
is to use Bartine as a blind behind
which they can work, and If they
succeed, Bartine will be cast aside as
of no furthur use to them, they ex-
pect to Get into the Legislature and
divide the spoils.
Not one of these men would ever
be thought of as senatorial timber and
if they come out openly their candl>
dacy would only be hailed with shouts
of derisive laughter from White Pine
to Storey. In this fight they ex~
meet the assistance OF the eastern
eold-bugs and heavy barrel from
Wall streer.
One of these political gophers
that is scratching dirt from under
Stewart Is man who robbed and
bled him six years ago, man who, If
he got his just deserts would
be cracking rock IN the Penitentiary
for the infamous way in which he
looted him under cover of being his
worker
When the Wall street barrel
reaches Nevada these fellows will
begin to reach for it and the fight
over this misplaced deposit will be
Just beautiful to behold 1t will
disappear like an acre'of young oats
ravaged by thousand sheep.
These gopAers must be flooded out
of their holes and their bodies
washed to the surface where they
can be inspected by the public. The
people of this State are for Stewart
for the U. S. Senate and they will
not be tricked out of his election
His defeat would be the cause of
torch light procession on Wall street
and make Nevada a waste dump.
His defeat would end the fight fol-
Nevada silver in the Senate of the
United States. 1t would be pro-
claiming to the world that the silver
State was not in earnest when il
called for its rights.
The fight against the white metal
is now going on all over the Unitee
States, but Nevada is the key of the
position and the grape AMI canister
of the enemy will sweep across this
State
In one of his battles Napolean saw
rising piece of ground where TIL
fire of the foe was concentrated ant
this spot had to be held at any cost
He caused an inscl. i'tion to be place.

'The place for brave men.
When the inscription was read TIL
cry went through the ranks of thu
French and they massad themselve
upon the hill.
The place was held, the day wa
won; Napoleon had not mistaken tn
mettle of his troops.
Nevada, IN this fight will be tn
place for brave men. Men who WI
not finch from contest involvln
the prosperity of their homes; me
who cannot be bought.
If the fight is lost, the decent, sci
respecting element of Nevada may
well pack up their household etfecl
and seek other States, where the
can secure the boosted benefits {
protection and leave this State to tn
purchaseable riff raft who barter tn
public interest at the polls and tn
political gophers who undermine OF
commonwealth
The APPEAL believes that tn
conspiracy against Stewart will 90
pieces inside week.
