Hot Shot for Cleveland.

Hon. A. G. Cleveland's Senatorial
aspirations are meeting with rather
a rocky reception from the press Of
the State. The Wadsworth Dispatch,
a Republican journal, has the follow.
ing hot stuff:
"a traitor to the Republicans of
Nevada and false to all trusts impos-
ed 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 a warm rat
tlesnake at their breasts or stroke a
viper. He has done them too much
harm already and he who profits not
some by experience IS a fool. Not
only to the Republicans has he been
untrue, unfaithful and very much
wanting when tried, but he is q sore
head in the ranks of the Silver party.
lacking those attributes every honest
and sincere man cherishes. At his
instance his friends went before the
Silver. Party State Convention at
Reno asking and seeking for him the
nomination Of that party for Cover
ner. He should have gone there with
the same principle others did, l. e., to
abide the result as to the choice Of
the convention, and if the mantle did
not fall upon his shoulders, to still be
true to his party, his friends and his
manhood. Now he is renegade and
mugwump to his party, sneak to
his friends and without honor to him.
self. With these facts staring him in
the face, his treachery disgrace, he
| Is a hypocrite seeking readmission to
the hearts Of Nevadans, sorry spec.
tacle indeed. Once he was loved and
honored-so was Benedict Arnold.
Once he was faithful, trustworthy
and couscientious-so was Judas. AS
to being anti-railroad his course
| thereon is the same old crooked thing
He was railroad lobbyist for years
| and evidently lost his job because he
was not equal to the work or went
chasing ralnbows like he is now in
having the gall t. aspire to the Unit
ed States Senate. If Cleveland was
ever true and steadtast tc anything
or anybody people have not heard
| about it. If he had the wisdom the
statesman requires he might have
been true at least to himself, but he
has through ignorance killed himself
politically and has sacrificed every
friend every time he thought it would
be to Cleveland's advantage to DO 30.
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"
