Nevada Politics.

The Denver Republican Of January
1Etk has the following interesting ar
ticie on Nevada politics: ........
The coming political contest in Ne
vada promises to be Of unusual inter-
est this year. The entire campaign
hinges on the senatorship. Senator
Stewards term expires on the 4th Of
March, 1899, and from present midi
cations he will have strong opposi-
ton in his efforts for reelection.
When the senator was here last, dur
ing the holiday recess, he admitted
that he would not have a walk-over,
but expressed no doubt regarding the
result. The principal opposition to
him will come from Congressman
Newlands, who has planned to cap
ture the senatcrehip. Mr.. Newland's
plans contemplate the election of w.
b. Duvall as congressman, and Is al
ready commencing to lay plans for
the election of Legislature which
will favor his own aspirations. 1t is
thought that Mr.. Duvall will stand an
excellent chance of securing the cleo
ton to the lower house. He is said to
be exceedingly popular, a young man
Of marked ability and an all around
hustler in politics. Concerning the
chances Of Mr.. Newlands there is
more doubt.
The fighting qualities Of Senator
Stewart cannot be despised, and his
staunch adherence to free silver has
made him host of friends In IA state
where nine out of ten voters are adj
vocateS Of the white metal. so that the
expectations of Mr.. Newlands are rs
yet rather hazy though it is admitted
that he is hard worker and has a
following Of very active and deter
mined friends.
DUvALL's CHANCES.
In speaking of Mr. Duvall yesterday
J. W. Dean Of this city, who is engage
ed in mining in Nevada, said: "The
chances are very strongly in favor of
the success of Mr.. Duval. He has a
very large acquaintance throughout
the State, and is very popular with
all classes. l was in Nevada not long
since, and while there learned that
Mr.. Duvall would probably make the
race and would commence the cam
paign very soon. 1 heard very little
about the senatorship. except that
Newlands was candidate, and did
not learn anything about the proba-
bilities of that contest. In fact T
paid very little attention to politics
while there, as I had considerable
business to transact. Nevada is a
great state from any standpoint, and,
with an irrigation system like that OF
colorado and more attention paid to
the gold resources Of the state, there
ls nothing to prevent it from becom.
ing a prosperous and large commun.
n.y. There Is great interest taken
IN irrigation in Nevada, and the prob.
ability is that during the coming year
some very important enterprises OF
That character will be inaugurated.o

ran at the head all the way to the end, al
though he hid to be shaken up by Maher
to get the race by a short head from
Rhinelander. Frohsin came very fast at the
finish The starter, Fitzgerald, then rendered
his resignation, but the stewards of the
jockey club met and permitted him to use
the starting gate and the resignation was
withdrawn Summaries:

AMATEUR GOLFERS.
scores In the Championship Showed
Some Improvement.

MORRISTOWN, N. J., Sept. 1S.-It
was model day for gilf. The sun rose
clear and bright, with scarcely a
breeze. Crowds of society people gath
cred early to watch the players on their
long days battle, and many followed
their faVorites over the course, cheer
ing when good play was made, and
sympathizing when position caused a
IataI stroke. About noon many play
ers retired to their tents, but the air
became more temperate in the after
noon, when there was some brilliant
play.
Morris county golfers were jubilant
when they saw ]. Insley Blair and
James A. Tying beating their opponents
in the first eighteen heles. Blair, how
ever, fell down on the second eighteen
holes, losing to w. J. Travis, of the
Oakland Golf club, of BaysVille, L. l.,
but Tying held his own against Menzies,
and qualified for the play tomorrow
Generally speaking the scores i'm
proved today, owing to the good con-
dition of the course, and to the time
given the contestants to finish. Doug
las still stands every chance of full
filling the prophecy of his friends that
he would win. Mcdonald is playing
steadily. James A. Tyng's adherents
have great hopes, he having qualified
for tomorrow's play by six up and five
to play.
A most remarkable occurrence was
the victory of W. B. Smith over Joseph
Choate Jr, the winner Of yesterday.
The play of the sixteen will be re-
stunned tomorrow. Following are the re-
suits of those qualified:
w. ]. Travis beat j. Insey Blair, UP and

at each time he was given UP for dead.
RestOratiVes were injected, however.

MILyVAU KEE, Sept. 13.-Frank Sc
lee, the successful manager of the Bos-
ton club for ten years, will sever his
connection with the National league
champions this fall having secured an
active interest in the Minneapolis CLUB,
which he will also manage next year,
giving the Western league six of the
most talented base ball leaders in the
managerial line in the country, the oth-
ers being Connie Mack, of the MilWau-
KEGS; Charles Comiskey Of the st Pauls;
It. J. LOTUS, of the Columbus club; }:
A. Manning. Of the Kansas Citys, and
Robert c.. Allen, of indianapolis.
Last winter Selee wanted to secure
the franchise of the Grand Rapids CLUB,
which he proposed removing to Omaha,
but he was under a verbal agreement
with the Boston club to manage the
team this season, and as the clubs
owners declined to give him his release
he sas obliged to remain in the Ma
tional league another season. The sue
cess attending the efforts Of the other
former big league managers in West
ern league has been golden bait to men
who have been identified with the Ma
tional ever since it came into existence
years ago. In the big league the man
ayers are paid literally for exercising
their brains. but the fact that the pat
ronage in the Western is large, pro-
viding the quality of the playing is up
TO the required standard, and the eniOl-
umtVlts satisfactory, in addition to be
ing unfettered by fault-f1nding owners,
has been attractive to men like Mack,
Comiskey and Lotus, who are recog-
nized far and wide in the base ball
world as the most skillful tacticians
wearing the spangles, and their sue
cess is sure to pluck other stars from
the big league armament. Selee has
won four championship remnants for
the Boston club, and apparently has
again landed a winner this year. so
that Minneapolis seems assured Of the
possession Of q team next year that
will be up in the race and attractive at
home as we'll as abroad.
Next Thursday there will be quiet
session of the Western league mag
mates in St Paul to consider circuit
changes for 1899, and it is quite likely
that at that time the official announce
ment will be made of Mr.. Selee's con-
nectiOn with the Millers. Whether the
Buffalo and Toronto magnateS have put
in a bid for the franchises held by Co
lumbus and st. Joseph cannot be ascer-
tanned, but it is semi-Officially stated
that Denver and Chicago are appli-
cants for the vacancies, and while the
circuit will not then be made up for
next year, 1t is certain that the line of
action for the annual meeting next
month will be fully prepared.
