Prominent Candidates for Political
Honors,

Well, the primary election is an event
in history. What particular delegate has
the vote of the solid delegation in his
grip sack, is matter Of conjecture.
Williams will have few votes, Sadler
few and Sam Longabaugh will not be
very far behind in the race when the
race is run. Jim Judge and Aleck Nc
Gowan have friends upon the delegation,
but which of them will get the causus
| nomination, If one is held, 10 hard mat
ter to determine. Sam Davis is doing
some South of Market button holding and
thinks when noses are counted that Gene
Howell will not have one sided walk
over. for Secretary Of State. As long a.
all the contestants are satisfied over the
result am sure we should not interest
ourselves with things not of our own con-
Germ. Some people here have given
much thought as to the suggestion Of
Senator Martin of your county for Gov
ernor. The verdict il that no better
man could be found. hope he will
come out as dark horse. II nominated
he would bring much strength to the
ticket and there never could be any doubt
as to his election.
At Reno the election was very spirited
and from the time the polls opened until
they closed, the contest never laxed in
vigor and snap. The Bergstein faction
lost the majority of the delegates aud the
wise heads say this is good omen for
Billy Westerfeld Lem Allen seems to
be the choice Of this delegation for Gov
ernor, and it is said that if Lem has no
chance, the votes of the Anti Bergsteins
will go TO Williams Of Ormsby. In Vir-
ginia City, the delegates named by the
various candidates who now reside upon
the comstock, were elected. Only one
case of opposition was manifested but the
regular nominee, Con Ahem, was elected.
This delegation, if history repeats it
self, will be the fighters of the conven-
ton II is completely organized and
means to use every legitimate endeavor
in trying to get storey county men recog-
nized by the convention. As foretold.
Judge Mack is first in choice. Mccarthy,
Ryan and Joe Josephs are not without
many friends and you see hot time is to
be expected.
Judge Huffaker. it 10 whispered, has
signiied willingness TO come out for
Supreme Judge. Some go so far as 10
say he has been slated by the powers who
control the political machine within the
State.
Judge Webser has quit The strain of
a political campaign was too severe to be
undertaken by the gentleman and his
large legal practice would suffer immense.
ly, SO he has resolved to step down and
out.
Senator Gignoux of Dayton is aspiring
for the nomination for Surveyor General.
This makes two from Lyon county who
are willing to take office upon the Silver
ticket.
am informed that A. c. Pratt has
about given up the idea Of running again.
Pratt has made very efficient Off Ger and
the State will lose palms taking servant
when he enters private life
The county politics are simmering q
little lately. The large vote M. Cohn
received at the pr maries has induced his
friends to withdraw him from the Leg
islature ticket. They are afraid he would
be too sure a winer if he were put up for
the Assembly
Senator. .Livingstons place is now the
recognized headquarters for the Silver
i,es. There is no doubt but that Liv.
will be heard from in the Convention and
will do his level best for Ormsby's in
terests.
The Republicans are threatening to
put upa State ticket Some of tho most
prominent members who have their eyes
turned longly upon Federal plums are
not over anxious to take much part in
placing ticket in the field. You know
the mint officials have not been appoint
ed as yet and it is rumored around here
that one man has had a strong hint TO
oppose any attempt at putting up a Be-
publican State ticket, if he wishes to be
considered at the banquet when the fed
eral pie will be given to he faithful.
This wheel within q wheel is little
beyond my comprehension, but never-the-
less some high-up-in -the-faith Repubs do
not wish to see any opposition this year.
But then there are others within the
ranks who are fully determined to make
a grand showing against all opposition
by putting up ticket with nominees for
every Office.
II the ticket goes L. b. Hickey will have
a chance to be up for Governor. For
