1t was stated openly By Silver party
leaders several months ago that TINS

we can learn is true, there wont be

servedly SO. The open brazen name
in which the Silver Party State Con-
ventIon sold out to Wallace and Stew
art and adopted the platform and NOM
mated the ticket dictated by them, has
disguised the honest voters of Nevada.
There Is an opportunity this year to
down that influence and from present
appearance IL is going to be done.
We shall not pretend to tell our read
ers for whom to vote, we would not
presume thus upon their intelligence,
but the following hints and suggestions
are based entirely upon facts and may
assist you in forming a proper conclu-
sion:
There are two candidates for Con-
gresham, Newlands and Wren. Mr..
Wren is fully as competent as Mr.. New
lands, he has fought the railroad in
iuence for years, his vote would always
be on the side OF silver and the people.
Moreover, he is largely interested in
mines in this county and If sent to
Washington his influence, both ia and
out of Congress would be to bring capt.
tai into the State. Would Mr.. New
lands do as much?
With regard to Governor we refer
you to the letter of a ''Silver Party Vo-
teri in this issue.
OF the candidates for Lieutenant Gov
ernor we know very little except that
Jas. r. Judge, the Silver Party a n
didate keeps his family and home in
San Jose, California.
OF the three candidates for Secretary
OF State, two hail from this county.
Nj. Howell, the present incumbent, has
made a fine record in the Office and
may be depended upon to continue it If
reelected. Mr.. John Weber has come
in closer contact with the voters, Is
thoroughly competent, and will be well
remembered by his friends on election
day.
The books Of the State are not a fit
place for Sam Davis to write his jokes.
Either C. A. LaGraye or Geo. F. Tur-
rittin is abundantly capable Of filing
the position OF State Controller. To
elect either viii be no mistake.
For State Treasurer we do not be-
lieve a better man can be found than
Dave Ryan, the Silver Party nominee.
For Surveyor General, neither Bragg
nor Kelley is a practical surveyor or
familiar with the routine OF the U. S.
Land Office. Mr.. Pratt, the present
Incumbent is both, and besides is one of
the most efficient men ever Ia the Of
Ace. Mr.. Stewart, the Democratic
nominee, is also a practical surveyor,
and wa haliava. n supeassfnl ona
For State Printer, A. Maute has had
experience in the Office and is thorough
ly competent.
For Supt. OF Public Instruction there
Is a lively contest between Mr.. Cutting
and Mr.. Ring. We believe that the
former has shown himself the most ac-
tive and successful worker in the inter-
ests OF the schools that has held that
Office for years, and is deserving of re-
election on his merits.
For Regents of the University, we be-
lieve that the present incumbents,
Judge Deal and H. S. Starrett are the
choice of the faculty of the institution
and that no better men can be found
for the positions.
We submit the above for what 1t is
worth. 1t is not paid for in any sense
Of the term. but is prompted entirely
by the invidual desire of the editor OF
this paper to see the best men placed
in State offices this fall, There will
