nDAAOhs, hECOAD.
In my salutstory to your readers shall
describe myself a. really am to he found
q common every day kind OF chap,
who has settled down in this part OF Ne
vada plying the vocation of printer /
was coaxed from my parental home in the
far East by the sirene tongue OF adventure
That slippery mistress who allures 30
many men to destruction has, however,
been very kind to me and l am well
satisfied with the extraordinary way l
have been treated since my advent into
the Capitol City. I have met many queer
people here Politics seem to be tho
whole topic OF conversation and perhaps
your numerous readers would be inter
ested to read what people, considered as
authorities, have osay regarding possible
candidates for this election.
Well first, your readers should know
that there is great possibility OF there
being three parties in the coming
| election. The Republicans, the Silyerites
and the Home Rulers The ushering
into existance OF the last named depends
upon the magnsminity OF the Silver Party
TO recognize few old disgruntied sore
heads who are capping for place upon
the ticket. II things go so as not to suit
these peculiar beings, they will secede
from the White Metal ranks and launch
boat OF their own upon the murky
waves OF the political ocean. We had it
| fixed 10 run A. G. Cleveland for Senator
against Stewart upou this glorions Home
Rule cry but that nefarious and smooth
talking "Black Wallace got on to the
combination and poor "Cleve' does not
banker after political elevation any more
All the boys were inst getting ready to
shout tho praises Of the gentleman from
White Pine in hopes the SO Pac Company
| would put up few hundred to silence
| tho clamoss y hen 10 lehold you, General
| Wallace walks into the lobby OF the Airing
| ton Hotel, collars "Cleve" aud they go
| into lively executive session in one Of
| the rear rooms, when the meeting was
| over, poor "Cleve" denied he ever had
any inclination 10 live in Washington
ID. c.
| Jim Dennis, OK LOBBYIST and now re-
| formed, WAS 80 disconsolate at Cleveland's
determination that he Immediately buzz
ed Hirsh Harris to find out if he would
| take the place Of the fallen idol But
tho gentleman from Genoa winked his of
| eye and commenced glowing eulogium
upon our senior Senator. Consequently
| tho opposition 10 Stewart will he OF no
consequence.
Governor Sadler, Lem Allen and Billy
Westerfield are named for Governor.
People here love Sadler for the enemies
te has made. He will be placed in NOM
ination by M. Cohn OF Ormsby and this
alone will insure him good send on.
westerfield is gliding along on the sunny
aide OF easy street saying nothing, keep
| ing out OF all kinds OF combinations and
allow ing the people TO gueas what office
he wishes.
Lem Allen has not visited headquarters
a yet, but his admirers say he 10 waiting
\ for Senator Stewards coming and he will
enter Carson with "Silver Bill" in the
apacity Of aid-de-camp.
Old man Russell, OF Elko County,
would like TO be Governor, but he will
have to hustle very lively between now
aud the day the convention meets II he
] intends To make any kind OF showing.
| The Lieutenant Governorship will un-
doubtedly no to A. J. McCone OF Storey.
WIN. Woodburn and Judge Bellnap
will try conclusions for the Supreme
Bench.
Eugene Howell, S. P. Davis and Joe
Josephs are out for the Secretary of
State.
Ex-U. 3. Marshall George Humphrey
and Charley LaGraye will be pitted
against each other for the nomination for
State Controller.
Dave Ryan Of Storey County will have
no one to 90 against for State Treasurer
unless the fates decree that Billy West
srfield better stny in the race for this
Office and withdraw his intention from
the Governorship.
The race for State Printer il going TO
be a hot one. Joe Mccarthy, Andy
Maute and Fred Fairbanks are the men
toned favorites and the contest they in
tend TO put up will surprise everyone for
its snap and vigor.
For ATTORNEY General J. r. Judge, A.
J. Nc. Gowan and +. p. Langan are men
toned. They are all young men ami
would do honor TO the position.
