1t appears that the sagebrush politicians
determined upon beating a man named
Noyes for Recorder at Reno.
They settled upon defeating him at the
polls, cost what 1t might, and they were not
going to be fooled about it, either.
They opened the sack TO the delight of
host of hungry voters.
The politicians were not going to take
promises in return for gold coin.
They settled on ia voters whom they
supposed would surely vote for Noyes To
these they loaned the use of a shotgun and
gave 50 each on the agreement that they
would not vote on election day but would
go hunting. In the event of NOyes' defeat
these dereiict citizens were each to get an
additional So. IL is needless to say that
there was a very light vote cast at Rem O.
and Noyes found. to his discontinue. that
bis supporters instead OF remaining to vote
for him had, by strange coincidence, all
gone off hunting
Mr. Wiseman states that the majority Of
the silver mines in Nevada have closed
down on account Of the low price OF that
metal.
