THERE are at present a number
OF independent candidates seeking
election as Assemhlymen in the diff
ferent counties IN this State, who
do not seem to he pledged to any
body or anything. A number of
these men are opposed to the re-
election of Senator Stewart, hut
they do not care to say who they
favor for this position. There are
but two announced candidates for
the Senatorship besides VIM NJ
Stewart; they are A. c. Cleveland
and B. F. Leete, and you can't find
an independent Assembly candidate
who is pledged to either Of them.
This is one of the strangest propo-
sitions that the best of us have ever
heard of in politics, and there is a
coon in the woodpile somewhere or
we are much mistaken. There is a
good deal of money being used in
Nevada to defeat Stewart in some

VIM. Nj. Stewart. A few years ago
the Republicans OF this State were
only TOO anxious to have Stewart
elected to the high and honorable
position OF Senator from Nevada.
To-day they are opposing him as
bitterly as possible. Why this
change? Stewart is the same man
he was when the Republicans adj

the same principles now that the
Republican party advocated then
