Outlines the Conventions Course


An Inconsisaat Ju9eisr.
Az foretold everything indicates tina
the Silver Party Of Ormsby County in
tends to politically honor AL Livingstone
At mass meeting held the other even
ing he was selected as delegate to thu
Silver Party State Convention and thu
County Central Committee placed hi
name upon ticket Of its own selection
for the same place. Liv. has not asked
for anything, but his many friends have
come to the conclusion that il modesty II
potent in his make up, they will overlook
that virtue and place him before the peo
pie ~ candidate for State Senator
There can be no doubt Of his election
and you might rake Ormsby County with
q flne tooth comb before another as pop.
ular as he can be found. M. Cohn has
retired since the Livingstone fever has
become contagious and he will not be
mentioned for any ofice In Ormsby this
Fall. DR.. 0uinan will probably get q
hunch that he can have place with the
Assembly trio. He is good talker and
would make things hum in the lower
house Of Parliament IL he got there. EN-
pire City will have an Assemblyman this
time. An enterprising young merchant
Of the Seaport, has been frequent visit
or to the Capitol lately, mingling with the
bosses and setting them up for the boys
in reckless abandon. Bill Kinney will
be at the head Of his own party again this
year. He thinks he makes better run
ana more star Ting finish whtn he is
uhtrammeled.
The sole theme Of questioning here is
whether Evan Williams Is going 10 come
out for Governor Knowing ones say h.
Is waiting to see the complexion OF the
delegates elected to-day before he posi-
lively declares his intentions. Sadler's
admirers are breathlessly anxious for him
to keep out. The power who bestow
political favors, il u asserted, have given
Reinhold q positive guarantee that he
was to be the man and the idea Of an
other trying to sponge his name off the
slate at this late hour seems t. rattle our
chief Executive more than any thing that
has transpired since he fell heir to Gov
Jones' shoes. Williams is looked upon
by the Acting Governors henchmen as a
dangerous and formidable foe and daily
prayers are said by those who owe politi-
cal snaps to Sadler that some unforeseen
foe will soon arise and choke poor Evan
off. The mere mention Of Williams rat
ties the door knob upon the outer door
Of the Capitol and prostrates unto sad
ness the admirers OF the Eurekan who
are assembled within.
Virginia City and Gold Hill have
chosen their delegates to the State Con-
ventiop. 1t looks TO me that Judge
Mack will not loose vote in the delega-
ton. Having Storey solid, l can't fathom
out how the Judge is to be downed in
the convention.
As ia. as Ormsby county is concerned
no one can tell which OF the candidates
will have the preference until caucus
has been held to determine which one Of
them stands show before the conven-
ton. Sam Davis is accused Of having
manipulated things 80 fine that the dele
CATION will sink, survive or perish with
his name upon their lips. This is hardly
fair TO the editor. He has played his
cards open and above board and / am
sure he has too much good old horse
sense TO wreck the aspirations OF the
other candidates and drag them down
into the sea Of defeat just because he
cannot sail smoothly along into the re-
nouned harbor bordering the Secretary Of
State ONCE.
Some one has given out that Charley
La0rave will have to step down and out
for George Humphreys. This deal, 1t is
claimed, was consumated a few short
weeks ago in order to harmonize the dis
Rruntled Democrats. am positively
forninst such scheme; not that am in
sanely infatuated with Mr.. La0rave but
because I think the Silver Party is too
strong to band the knee to any political
faction in the State. II the Democrats
are 90 strongly opposed to Mark Hanna
and Willy Mckinley let them one and all
grab torch and join in the illumination
which has penetrated into the East and
South and showed the down trodder
people the falsity Of the clamorings Of
the Gold Bugs, and made the recognition
of free silver possibility in the Demo.
