vada. Let us analyze the material
and ascertain IL we can, the election
OF which one OF the quartette would
bestserve the interest OF the State.
and also most strengthen the cause,
upon the success OF which the future
prosperity OF our commonwealth
mainly depends.
r. Sadler Is the nominee OF the so
called Silver party. That be was the
choice OF the political agent Of the s.
p. Railroad Company no ore viii pre-
tend to deny, nor the fact that his
nomination was due solely to the
money influence and power OF the
corporation which hiss Tor many years
practically controlled the politics OF
the State. Apart from this question:
able endorsement, has his administra.
ton in the last three years been such
as to commend him to the reputable.
independent and selt-respectinS
voters OF tie Stale for continuance Of
his official terms
II any one c~ommendable act can
be cited it Is exceedingly strange
that his partisan supporters have not
discovered it and made it known in
justification of his being placed at the
head Of their ticket for the place
which he accidentally holds by the
death, three years ago, or Governor
Jones. The scandals which have
marked his administration are we'll
known TO the people, and ne leave to
his supporters the task OF threshing
yer the old straw FOR the purpose OF
finding, il we can. a solitary kernel OF
grain in the unsavory debris Of his
most unThclesone administration.
The bim-tallic sin cerity OF the die
ta;or of the Silver party has forc;bly
illustrated in the selection of Mr..
Sadler to head the only simon pure
sixteen to y without the consent OF
Sny other nation ticket in The State,
when only three years ago that NJ
what erratc gentleman declared,
publicly and privately. in and ont o.
his cups. that he had gone over to the
Republican party. and swore by the
great born spoon that he would
thereafter alEays bz found marching
under the gol len banner OF the single
standard party Of the nation. And
this IS the mai who heads the ticket
which Mr.. HuntIngtor's agent tells
Us We must elect to demonstrate u
fidelity to the silver cause + o our BIZ
metallic bretheren in other parts of
the Union.
While nothing can be said against
the personal character. integn;, or
ability of NJ. Mcmillan. the Repub.
hcan candidate, It must be apparent
to every intelligent friend Of bimet-
alsm that his election would prove a
most serious blow TO the silver cause
al over the country. Nevada is a
silver producing State and is regard
ed everywhere as the most reliable I
and perhaps the most radically bi.
metallic OF any OF The commemorative
l tne silver regions Of ih. West. For
these Et2sonstbe election OF a Repub-
hean GoTeEaor would have a most
disastrous moral effect, not PERHAPS
In a local. but a national point of
view, for the gold men OF the east
would exultingly claim the result as
evidence OF the complete downfall Of
the silver cause when the banner BIZ
metallic State Of the Union elects a.
Its Chief Magistrate, a representa-
tive OF the single standard party Of
the natioL.
MIR. j. ID. Mccullough, the Popu.
list nominee, like Mr.. Mcmillan i
personally uuobjectionable. His
election, however, is IN ~imposibh,y.
1t must be apparent TO every rntelli.
gent voter IN tile State. The votes
cast for him will be thrown away. or
perhaps worse, for il cast where they
would naturally fall, were there M
Populist candidate in the field. they
would doubtless insure the election
OF the second choice Of nearly every
person who will vote for McCullougb. |
viz: Mr.. Russell, the Democratic
nominee. II the corporation candi.

or George Russell the Democratic |
candidate but little need be said |
He is well known THROUGHOUT, the
State OF which he has been a ,rsi.

lie has q clean Legislative record and
during his membership he manifested

sary adjunct to bimetalic PRINCIPLES,
He is a broad minded man and while
he would to be used Ms a tool
by any corporation or individual, he |
would do justice to MI without fear
