when we consider them within the col
umns Of newspaper. Every man who
has any political ambitsons is sought after
to forecast the possibilities that may soon
be realities. A score of newspaper critics
delve by day and hunt by night for some
thing tangible upon which to erect a
building that will not be dismantled when
the Boss Carpenter OF the Silver Party
gets around on Convention Day. As yet
nothing has been accomplished Specu-
lation and doubt assail us on every side
and there is as much doubt as to who
will be nominated for State officers as
there was year ago. >
1t is very good sign to see the Office
seek the man. When the opposite con-
diiion prevails one is led to believe that
the party seeking needs the place in his
business As rule the most talked a.
bout man for the Governorship, before
the Convention gets left, and dark
horse takes the place. This year every
thing seemed to indicate that Governor
Sadler would not have any opposition be-
fore the Convention. His peace of mind
reflected the happiness of his soul, but
alas, some fellow got mentioning Evan
Williams for the Goyernorship, and the
more Williams persisted he didn't want
it. the more people took up the shout for
him, and it vii not be surprise to me If
Evan Williams does not lead the Silver
cohorts to victory this year. Williams
will make good Governor and il he ac-
cepts, there never can be any doubt Com
cerning his election. re will draw voses
from all political parties. Ii Williams
loes not come into the race Governor
Sadler will get the place. Lem Allen
can't defeat Rhcinhold in the Convention
and unless some other prominent polite
ian shies into the ring we will have hap
py Sadler managing the affairs Of State
for another four years
The Lieutenant Governorship should
be considered worth little attention.
This Office by the consent of the Legisla-
ture is TO be made lucrative as well as or
namantal A well planned scheme has
been concoeted in the interests OF well
known Ormsby politician. He will be
asked to take the Office, to keep out in
q ling up the ticket, OF course he will
consider his vast business complications
and very reluctantly accept ii. not for
private interests sake but simply To serve
the dear public. Some of the boys have
canght ON to the job and il they are not
to get piece OF she pie, they intend TO
expose the whole plot and there will be
s,me tall ghost dancing in lie immediate
vicinity of the Carson mint. The Demo
Gratis will not fuse with the silver Party
this year Ii Newlands were to run for
Senator against Stewart, perhaps the
Dems wonld combine with us. But the
leaders are too sore upon Stewart to ever
support him. They have the same an
tipathy toward him as the devil does to
holy water. The old time leaders accuse
Stewart of every thing Infamous, and
they declare they will put up straight
ticket for every state office. think
however the Silver Party, il they put up
IA decent ticket, will have no trouble in
the State again this Fall with
out the help OF any of the other parties.
What few Democrats are in the State
now cannot stop the food.
Any man living in the State of Nevada.
who has any hopes OF ever seeing the
State take her place where she belongs
and who affiliates with the Republican
Party, is an animal cannot understand.
Mark Hanna, has dictated to the Ad-
ministration Republicans, in Utah, the
course that pleases him and Mac. He
wants no mention made OF Silver in their
platform and it is a possibility that he
will send this same kind of document
to the fortunate federal officers in this
State who are holding down fat jobs by
day, but whose conscience pricks severe
ly by night, when they realize they are
imply tools to do the bidding OF Mark
md Mac I'll bet bit the Administra-
.ionites assembled in convention in Reno
IN Sept. 10Th. 1898, will ignore Silver at
he bidding OF the masters. They have
,old themselves for Federal pap and they
aave to carry out their part OF the pro-
gram, or loose their prestiage.
We in Ormsby County are expecting
much fun and excitement ut the Prim-
Try election for State Delegates. Rum
,rs Of secret combinations are running
galore and not less than four tickets will
be put up for the consideration of the
voters. Nearly every officer in the Cap
itol has very keen interest in the result
and clandestine arrangements they enter
into the persons whom they think have
a pull are very amusing and leads one to
give much credit to the maxim that there
Is nothing honorable in politics. Char
