He Advances Some New Sug.
ge tons on the Senatorial
Contest

MORNING APPEAL I
Your Virginia CITY correspondent
claims that common deceucy requires {
Francis G. NawlandS to resign his seat AS
CONGRESSMAN since he has
himself as "A candidate for u. :. Senate.
But if he should resign and fail to be ell
ectcd Senator we would have Il states
man without employment. There II no
doubt that he could fill both Positions.
The record shows that his duties
as Congressman requires about one SIKH
oi his time at the sessions OF the lower
house. Certainly five sixth OF has time
would only be required to discharge his
senatorial duties. With Newlands AS
CONGRESSMAN AID Newlands as Senator
| Nevada will have a statesman with
ample employment.
The idea that he il bound by his pledge
made to the State Convention of the SIl-
yer party to support Stewards reelection
is absurd. Had he not so pledged him
self he could not have been nominated
for Congress-, and Nevada would have
been left without his services in Con
gress after the 4th day of March next,
and it would be left without the benefit
of said one-siXth of his valuable time.
The idea that some people have that he
should have come out for Senator before
the State Convention met and entered the
field for the Senatorship against Stewart
is equally absurd. IT he had he would
more than likely have been defeated and
certainly would not have received the
Congressional nomination., then indeed
Nevada would now have a statesman
without any official job after the 18th "l
March. This is not all, he certainly
=. would nave removed his political resi-
dence from the riverside town and The
State would loose from its small popu
> lation his presence, which the State hat
n so much enjoyed during the campaigns
v for the last six years.
No one could blame him for abandon
ing his said residence if he had entered
VI the Senatorial contest earlier and los
" both positions. He acquired his resi-
dence at considerable expense in con
sideratiOn of the leading Republican,

CT timatelv to the Senate, and having thu
acquired it. he maintained il during sal

party would carry out said promise
IL the Republicans, inasmuch as the X
ISL puhlicans fell into a state of %innocuou
no disuetude and could nOt pay said col
sideration. When the consideration Of

Newlands would be perfectly justitiah

eft and for two years more our populate
he will not be diminished by his abrupt &C
dadling. No, Nevada can't afford to Ia
any such foolish chances OF loosing hi

Ct" some one who may, in a measure,

u can see no sense in having Mr.. Ne

certain thing. This would be impOst
on good nature. He mas very kline
offered to be Nevada's Senator. as well
Congressman.
