Nevada FOR NEVADANS.

Hon. G. 5. Nixon is a candidate for
A., U. S. Senator from Nevada to succeed
Hon. j, L. Jones. He has announced
tie fact in an article that is true, that
is strong. that commands the attention
Of the people OF Nevada. We honor Mr..
Nixon Tor his aspirations, we hold
him in esteem, higher and higher, a
seen him raise through hard work, merii
and ability, from the post of Il telegraph
operator, to positions OF honor and trust,
many Of them the gifts OF the people oi
Nevada. In honoring Mr.. Nixon in the
past the people paid IL desired tribute to
his honesty, and to his Iabors for them.
They have said when they have tried
well done, thou good and faithful ser
vant,' and 80 long as they continue TO
ind him worthy, in whatsoever position
they may try him. we feel that they will
continue to say those words. In an
%nouncing his candidacy for this high
important trust Mr.. Nixon has shown
his patriotism to this Stale and its peo-
pie, and has shown that he has the NOR
al courage and the stamina WE should
require in U. S. Senators. Mr.. Nixon
has our hearty support because he is u
Nevadan, heart and soul, and because
he has shown that he is and was when.
ever the occasion required, and a man
who feels that way is the man we want
to fill the best Office we have. Mr..
NixOn's property has been acquired in
this State, it is all here, and this state
has always been good enough for him,
good enough for his wila and good
enough for his child. He spends his time
here and he never misses an opportunity
to do good for this State. He has asked.
We say unhesitatingly that he should
receive and we John 2. Jones or any
man who has residence and belongings
and his family in California or any other
state. When the Nevada Press Assoria-
tlnn visited the palaiial home OF John
p. Jones at Santa Monica they found
that his oltbuildings were far superior
in every way to the building ne calls his
Nevada re residence. Years ago Senator
Jones made a silver speech, he has done
nothing for ten years but wipe his feet
on the people OF Nevada and draw his
, salary. Daring sessions of Congress he
spends his time in New York and spends
enough in speculations in other states to
make Nevada's deserts bloom il il were
spent here AMI here it woild be proitl-
BILE, AMI there he has dropped millions.
lie could as truly aspire Ia he king OF
England SO lar as right is con ,ernel as
to desire to represent Nevada in the l..
s.. Senate.
We wonder how the people of Neva la
can expect to bring up their children a.
American citizens and continue to plac.
before them such examples. Consistent
with the doings Of the peoples in electing
John P. Jones, a resident of California,
to the highest Office in the gift of the
the people, is the idea that of the twenty
n appointments belonging to Nevada,
but two OF them should go to Nevada
When we show that We have the honor
and the manhood to redeem ourselve.
and do right by ourselves, we NAV ex-
pect others to do right by Us and gives
us that which l. olrs. Senator Jones
taxes in this state wo I'D not bay his
cigars for IL week. Ha has evidently
determined that we are II set of towards.
that he has a cinch aud we have
been subject TO his mastery SO long til It
we are ahject slaves.
The citizens oil Nevada should arise IN
their patriotic mleht and help Nixon
the Nevadan, who has shown that h,
