THE SENAToRSHIP.

The announcement Of Hon q. s. Nix
on's candidacy far United States Sehator
from Nevada to s,lc,'e.I Hon. J. p
JoAes, has been before tile public nov
for time sufficient to ascertain in a
measure pi,iiie sentiment in regard to
the ;;atcr as it Is being daily exp Expressed.
There is no c',ncealing tile fact that the
people OF this State are giving this i'm
portant matter much thought and
''Nrvada for Neva1ans'r is the popular
cry that hourly adds strength to The
ranks of the pa. otic people of our
State. There is nothing under tile sun
that is too good for the bona tide citizen
OF Nevada, there is nothing ton good for
his children that he can procure, there
is nothing too good for his surroundings
and n,tling too good to add to Nevada
fame that it may at least become fair in
e>es OF the people of this country.
There Is fast growing sentiment that
we have neglected ourselves and our
institulions in the past and hat we have
lavisiied the cream of our resources, the
flower OF our youth and the best of all
that we have had upon other States,
and that the time is ripe to begin to APP
ply these things to the building up OF
the commonwealth that is the heritage
of our children. This patriotism and
these patriotic ideas have been latent
with the Neyadan and they are now to
be called forth to grow and flourish in
the light OF day AMI remove from the
fame of the State those influences which
have sadly tarnished all that is true and
good and noble in ourselves and olir IN
stituions. The question now before us
is one worthy of solution at this time
and we believe that solution " i'll eeine
in an emphatic manner from oar citi
zens. 1t is and has always been our
boast that the most humble citizen
might aspire to the highest honors
within the gift of the people and in
Hon. q. $. Nixon's candidacy that gem
tleman has taken the people of This
State at their word. That he has done
ani confidence in the fact that they will
be as good as their word and well and
truly consi Ter his right 10y his ability
and altsinments to aspire to the high.
o fice of u. 5. Senator from Nevada.
LIT Ms look at these qualifia ions and
the grounds upon which he places his
candidacy AMI no father, no mother, no
citizen of this State, but will have
brought brought home to him many
things which he she or they way have
ptss II over.
NJ. Nixon has speht twenty years OF
h lie in Our midst and we have all
been prond OF his achievements for the
public good. He came here in his youth,
poor, and has 10y merit alone won hin-
self an honored place as Il citizen who at
all times desired and labored for the
benefit of the State and its institutions
and placed himself by his enterprise in
the front ranks of our en;erprsiug peo-
pie. There never has been time in his
public or private career hut that his at
tainments have been used to promo
the good Of the State and our people.
All that he has is here, all that he
hopes to have is here, all that he hopes
to be is in Nevada, and he has demon
strated this through the years OF the
past. BY public II en- with whom he has
come in contaci private, business or
political lite, and they have and do ac-
knowledge that he has shown ability to
do and do well Whatever he undertakes.
He has never betrayed II tra-t, has been
tried and not found wanting, and il the
people are tue to themselves, their chill
dren aul the State, they will stamp his
candidacy with their approval ard live
mp to "Nevad for NeyadIns. Central
Nevadan.
