Francis Newlands, the regular Con
gressional nominee.
He has brought millions into this
State to invest, and he has travelled
thousands of miles and spent thous-
ands Of dollars fighting for the cause
of silver.
He has waged the warfare for the
white metal in both continents, and
IS reward for his splendid work the
people of Nevada have sent him to
the front as their champion.
4 few cheap newspapers are snarl-
ing at his heels and holding out their
hands for backsheesh. Newlands is
making clean, honorable fight, and
the men who sent Woodburn to the
front to fight him are being applaud
ed by every piece club man and
roustabout in the State
As far as Mr.. Woodburn is con
cerned, we believe him honest and
3nscientious, but his candidacy has
resulted in howl Of applause from
those miserable camp followers of
politics, who feed like jackalls off the
ofal of political strife.
Let the descent, self respecting peo-
pie Of Nevada rise and see that these
tactics receive a fitting rebuke in
November.

Indian Summer.

The best part Of the season at Lake
Tahoe is just at present. The limpid
transparent sheet is as smoothe as
glass, rejecting the delicate tints Of
the autumn forests and blending into
the rocks and variagated sands upon
lis shores. The air is charged with
the scent Of pine groves, while the
nights are cool and delightful. The
evening brings soft breeze to re
fresh the sleepers and one wishes
that Tahoe's Indian Summer might
last the year round.
