FOR u. S. SrNATOR:
Hon George S. Nixon Announces
Himself a Candidate for the
Position.

Inc appears III Tue oiiNet
State Of last Wednesday,:
To TIT people Ut the State Of Nevada
and 10 their Senators and Assembly
men OF h Incomicg Legislature:
Four years ago the people OF this
State, with great uDanimity and un-
swerving honesty Of purpose and from
The highest patriotic motives, cut loose
from their former political associa-
tons and organized Al independent
political movement to ecure to Them
selves and the whole country a ma
tional t%inancial policy commensurate
with the business nee DIS OF the people
the free and Unlimited coinage Of
silver and gold, the policy OF the
fathers OF III republic and which was
embodied il our constitu ion.
Within four years the movement
has grown to great magnitude and
has received the support Of siX-milion
Of unbought and unpurchaseable in
dependent voters Of the country. AL
though it suffered temporary defeat
at the late election, by the most cor
rupt use of money on the part Of the
moneyed rings, combines and trusts
the battle is not finally lost, but must
and will triumph.
Nevada took the lead in this great
movement for monetary reform and
will ever he found to the front in line
of battle for the same cause. Othe1
questions have confronted the people
OF this State, of vital importance to
their dignity as we'll as of vital inter-
est to the prosperity Of this people, and
still confront them, but have been
held back and been overshadowed ny
the supreme effort of the people to Sc
cure the opening Of the minis for the
purposes for which they were estab-
lished. One OF these questions is :
Snail Nevada, in its federal relations.
as we'll as in its local affairs, be repre-
scented by Nevadans, and not by non
residents?
We have, as a state, great interests
to be developed, and every energy of
its citizens. as we'll as its public ser-
wants, should be directed to that end.
Our United States Senator and Con.
gresham are in position to attract
and to secure immigration and Cap
ital to this State, so as TO increase our
population and wealth and advance
the general prosperity. To secure
these ends it is OF he utmost import
ance that this State shall be repre-
sented at Arlington by actual, bona
tiie residents OF the State, and whose
interests are identified with its PEOPLE.
While l, in common with the people
of this State and his associates in the
Senate, and the friends of bimetal-
lism everywhere, am happy to ac-
knowledge that Senator John P. Jones
is a statesman Of transcendent ability,
and has given to the free silver liter
o allure Of both continents unanswer-
able arguments in favor of bimetai-
lism and clear and elaborate di-cus-
read may understand, and the great
cause advanced thereby, yet it is a
we'll known fact that he fer many
years last past has ceased to be a resi-
> dent OF this State and has no common
( interest with us that his home Emo
family and household goods are at
Santa Monica, California, ard his
! great business interests are the re.
This is Nevada's misfortune, while,
perhap1 it is his gain. However this
may be, L ana constrained TO yield to
the earnest solicitation Of many Of nv
/ fellow citizens 10 different parts of
? the State to announce myself as a
Candidate for the United States Senate
! before the next session of the L. gis-
%latuIe, which I do with the assurance
on my part that if elected nv whole
time, energy and what ever ability /
, may b. able to command shall tie il
the Senate during its sessions and in
Neva'! during its vacations snd de-
voted t" promoting the varied indus
tries OF thu pr ople Of this State.
While L cannot and TO not concur
in the opinion Of many thar a ptorpc-
. tive tariff. under the geld standard.
can bring the relief lie business in
tefests OF the people of the wsole
country demand, yet the American
people, IN the election Of William Ne
kinney, have declared that they want
shch "A tariff, and ii I am hunored
with a seat in the Senate rly policy
and aim shall be diving The next four
years to give the administration nv
aid, il necessary, in passing any such
