Cleveland WobbIing Again.

candidate for United States Senator
from Nevada in opposition to William
M. Stewart, and says 81 am for home
rule, and it is on that basis that I shall
make my campaign. Consistency is
evidently dead quality with Mr..
Cleveland, judging from The facts in the
Utah case. He was candidate for and
struggled hard to obtain the appoint
ment OF United States Marshal for Utah.
If at that time he was a resident OF U tab
he is today resident OF Utah because
he lives at the same old place. If he is
a resident of Utah he should ask the
people of that state to elect linn United
States Senator. If he was not
and is not resident Of Utah and was
candidate for U. s. Marshal of Utah
while q resident OF Nevada his ideas Of
home rule are made applicable by him
only to Mr.. Cleveland. This may suit
him but it is rather nauseous to the peo-
pie. 1t is not strange that he does not
know where he is at and from past his-
tory has not known it for some years.
A traitor to the Republicans Of Nevada
and false to all trusts imposed on him
by the Republicans Of, this State, they
would no more clasp him to their hearts
and take him into their councils than
they would warm rattlesnake at their
.
breasts or stroke viper. He has done
them too much harm already and he
who profits not some by experience is q
fopl. Not only to the Republicans has
he been untrue, unfsithful and very
much wanting when tried, but he 10 .
sorehead in the ranks OF the Silver party,
lacking those attributes every honest
and sincere man cherishes. At, his in
stance his friends went before the Silver
Party State Convention at Reno asking
and seeking for him the nomination OF
that party for Governor. He should
have gone there with the same principle
others did |. Q. to abide the. result as to
the choice Of the convention, and II the
mantle did not fall upon his shoulders,
to still be true to his party, his friends
and his manhood. Now he is a renegade
and mugwump to his party, sneak to
his friends and without honor to him
self. With these facts stareing him in
the face, his treachery disgrace, he is
iypocrit seeking readmission to the
hearts Of Nevadans, sorry spectacle
indeed. Once he was loved and honored
so was Bendict Arnold. Once he was
faithful, trustworthy and conscientious
80 was Judas. As to being anti-rail-
road his course thereon is the same old
crooked thing. He was railroad lobby
ist for years and evidently lost his job
because he was not equal to the work
or went chasing rainbows like he is now
in having the gall to aspireto the United
States Senate. If Cleveland was ever

body, people have not heard about it.
II he had the wisdom the statesman re-
quires he might have been true at least
to himseIt, but he,has through ignorencel
killed himself politically and has sacri-
iced every friend every time he thought
it would be to Cleveland's advantage to
do So Railing against the railroad by
him can only make friends for the rail-
road. Mr.. Cleveland has probably found
his forte in raising stock and to that he
should stick If he can. He wobbles too
much on every other proposition.
