 NATE W. RoFF, Night and City Editor Nevada State Journal.
 The following is the communication referred to above. It is signed by the most prominent men of Reno: RENO, Nevada, April 29, 1895. l. J. WoLFLEY, Esq, Editor ARIZONA REPUBI- CAN, Phoenix, Arizona. DEAR SIR Having noticed through exchanges that one of our former citi- zens, MT. Pierce Evans, has been honor ed with the nomination of mayor of your city on the Republican ticket, and feeling decided interest in his suc- cess, we congratulate the Repu blicans l of Phoenix on their excellent choice of a candidate; and as citizens of Washoe county, Nevada, heartily endorse MT. Evans and recommend him as a man of sterling qualities. His honesty, in- tegrity and sincere intention of purpose cannot be questioned.
 As staunch Republican, he has al- | ways stood in the foremost ranks of his party, ever battling for it's principles and the welfare of his fellowmen. He l served the people of Washoe county as district attorney for a term and gave emminent satisfaction. The adminis- tration of the affairs of his office was economical and praise-worthy and he 1 left record of which he has reason to | be proud.
 As business man, he is practical, liberal in his ideas but not extravagant. Ii elected as mayor of your city, your citizens may depend upon it that he will make an excellent officer and ad. minister the affairs of your city to the best interests of it's people, regardless of party affiliations. e
 Respectfully,
 | J. F. EMMITT, Chair. Rep Co. Central Com. | |. J. COIN, Sec'y Rep. Co. Central Com, H. W. HIGGINS, Chief of Police.

It will thus be seen that no man, is held in higher esteem than MT. Evans in town where he lived for fifteen years. As a practical business man and as public officer his record is without 8 blemish.
 In Fairhayen, Wash, where Mir. Evans removed from Reno, his reputa- tion as business man and as a town builder is one rarely equalled for ability and executive capacity. As president of the chamber of commerce of Fair. haven Mir. Evans built town of 5000 people from nothing in six months He put in and owned the finest system of water works and electric lights on the coast and invested great deal O. money in other enterprises; but ir spite of MT. Evans and other wide awake men of Fairhavan the people adopted foolish policy of false economy and Seattle became the city instead O hFairhaven, which is now village o less than 800 people. The investment made by MT. Evans were of cours, worthless and his whole fortune wa swept away by a penny wise anC pound foolish policy, such as IS nov cropping out in Phoenix.
 The Fairhaven and Seattle history i likely to be repeated here. Phoenix ha the start and by wise and liberal pub lie policy will make city; but thu least retrogression. the least hesitation will make Prescott the city and Pheni, the village. The people from the out t side will locate in the town showing th most enterprise and rapid growth.
 Let the voters next Tuesday bear thi in mind. They should go to the poll and cast their votes for Pierce Evans. man of experience in city building, wht has been tried and found to be sue cess, end whose neighbors of ffteel years's landing testify that "as busi ness man he is practical, liberal in hi ideas, but not extravagant." 
 A VICTORY OF SCIENCE.
