RAMBLING OPINIONS.

ton OF affairs in the ranks of all parties
opposing the Republicans. We believe
the Silver ticket is weak and totally the
work OF the machine. The Silver party
has been and is now considered the do
minant party, but as to whether or not
it is to be the victorious party in this
campaign we very much doubt. The
noninees of the Populists and Democrats
and the rank and file of those parties
also doubt that the Silver party will be
the victors, and back of all this come
the men who have already renounced
their allegience to the Silver party, they
not being willing subjects of boss rule.
The conditions are favorable for Repub-
lican success, or at least the election of
the very best choice among all parties
but the Silver party.
We are heartily in favor of the Re-
publicans in convention assent Jled cast
ing aeide all friendship and nominating
men who are strong enough to COM
mand suffrage by reason of possessing
the best qualifications. We hope the
Republita an conventions will be calm in
their deliberations and do nothing in
haste, in fact We hope there will be family
consultation with wisdom and good
judgement ruling. We are in favor of
full tickets as far as our material goes and
no endorsements. Now is the time of our
trial before the people OF Nevada and we
hope for strong ticket, State and
county, of good, clean, popular men of
unimpeachable integrity.
When the Silver party threw down
the deserving F. w. Fairbanks of Lyon
and by SO doing denied the place of its
birth we believe a mistake was made
and the Lyon County Times says:
"As it looks now it would seem that
Lyon county voters were not wanted in
the silver ranks. The proposition is TOO
plain to be misunderstood, and the
hunch received four years ago seems not
to have been sufficient for our conpre-
hension, SO swat with club was adj
minislered this tire, and nobody will
misunderstood that
The Virginia City Report whose
brainy editor will be man of mark in
Nevada when the youth of the land de-
monstrate emphaticaly that it is not a
crime to be young, has this to say:
"rhe Silver party convention has con-
cluded its labors and adjourned. The
ticket is before the people tor their con-
side .ation. We believe that this is a
time when patriotism should rise above
partisanship,'a and everyone should do all
things possible to secure the best possible
government for the State tor the next
four years. We wish to take snap ju, g.
ment on no one and for that reason will
make no criticism OF the nominees on
the different tickets at present, but in
few days will make known tu the readers
of the Report our preferences for the
different State officers and our reasons
therefore,"
We noticed that nearly every news
paper in this State had representative
at Reno and we noticed also that four.
fifths of them are young men who are
intellectually the peers of the news
papermen of any State in the nation.
That the papers are not better is due to
the fact that they do not receive the
support 10 enable them to be- better.
There will come time when the young
men, independent Of politics, will de-
mand and receive recognition. We are
heartily in favor of organizing after this
campaign with this object in view.
Tom Wren, the Populist nominee for
Congressman, will make one of the most
stubborn fights for election ever wit
messed within the borders of this State.
He is no political novice and his history
proclaims that fighting, speaking poll
tically, is his chief characteristic. 1t
won't make much difference to him
what odds he las TO contend against.
He has said that he will leave no stone
unturned and everyone acquainted with
his record is prepared to believe that lie
will. Tom Wren enjoys a degree Of
popularity and is an accomplished
speaker, and when he says he intends
to canvass the State it means that he ia
going to hire hall in every town and
hamlet in Nevada. Enterprise.
