Nevada Politics.

The Denver Republican OF the 18th,
has the following interesting article on
Nevada politics:
The coming political contest in Nevada
promises to be of unusual interest this
year. The entire campaign hinges Oh
the senatorship. Senator Stewards
term expires on the 4th. OF March, 1899.
and from present indications he will
have strong opposition in his efforts
for reelection. When the Senator was
here last, during the holiday recess, he
admitted that he would not have walk
over but expressed no doubt regarding
the result. The principal oppostonto to
him will come from Congressman New
lands, who has planned to capture the
senatorship. Mr.. Newlands' plans con.
template the election OF w. B. Duvall as
congressman, and is already commenc-
ing to lay plans for the election of a
Legislature that will favor his own as
pirations. Itis thought that Mr.. Du-
vail will stand an excellent chance OF Sc
curing the election to the lower house.
He is said to be exceedingly popular, IA
young man OF marked ability and hus-
tier in politics. Concerning the chances
of Mr.. Newlands there Is more doubt.
The fighting qualities OF Senator Stew
art cannot be despised, and his staunch
adherence to free silver has made him
host of friends in State where nine out
of ten voters are advocates OF the white
metal, SO that the expectations OF Mr..
NewIands are az yet rather hazy though
it is admitted he is a hard worker and
has following of very active and deter
mined friends.

OUR FLAG.

Dave Ehler thinks the following con-
tains information that every child ought
to know and we take pleasure in publish
ing it.
Gen. Washington designed it, and
Widow Betsey Ross made it in her little
home, af 239 Arch street, Phiadelp phia,
l2O years ago. She sewed only thirteen
stars into the flag which was flung to
the breeze by the Continental Armies,
and now there are fortytive, but the
stripes will ever remain the same, seven
red and six white. When the immortal
Washg'n asked the Widow Ross whether
she could make IA flag, she replied: 81
don't know, but | will try" The flag
which she cut out and sewed together with
nimble needle has had a progeny that
may be counted by the millions, and it
has been seen a-futter on every see, and
is known in every land. So distinctive
are the Stars and Stripes, and 80 grand
ly are they identified with human liber-
ty, that one may say without fear oil
contradiction the American flag is re-
cognized the world over the instant it is
seen, and never does it fail TO thrill the
observer who knows the story OF its
origin. So rapid has been the march of
events since the Stars and Stripes were
first unfurled at old Fort Schuyler, Au-
gust Sd, III, and so populous and great
have the states become, that it seems
almost an eternity OF time since Betsy
Ross sat in her humble home and made
the flag. And yet there are living today
in Philadelphia. defendants of Betsy
Ross who heard the story from her own
lips.

For Secretary of State.

There seems to be more aspirants for
the position OF Secretary of State than
for any other Office on the State ticket.
The present encumbent, Eugene Howell,
White Pine, is candidate. Editor
Kelly OF the Journal, Sam Davis OF the
Appeal, and Joe Josephs OF Storey, who
was the last Clerk OF the Supreme Court
under the Republican regime, are also
candidates. AT the last election it was
feared that the Office would be abolished
by the people voting ON the consttu.
tional amendments, but it was not and
the last legislature voted so many per
quisites and salary to it and so many
ex-otiicios that it i, now a pretty good
thing. With four people in the scramble
it is pretty hard to tell who viii land
