The Denver Republican OF january
18th has the following interesting ar
ticle OF Nevada politics:
The coming political contest in Ne
vada promises to DO Of unusual inter-
est this year. The entire campaign
hinges on the senatorship. Senator
Stewards term expires on the 18th of
March, 1899, and from present midi
cations he will have strong oppcsi-
ton i'll his efforts for reelection.
When the senator was here last, dur
ing the holiday recess, he admitted
that be would not have Il walk-over.
but expressed no Doubt regarding the
result. III" principal opposition TO
him will come from Congressman
Ncwlands, who has planned to cap
ture the senatorship. Mr.. Newland's
plans contemplate the election Of w.
Ii. Duvall rs congressman. and is al
ready commencing to lay plans for
the election of II Legislature which
will favor his own aspirations. 1t is
thought that Mr.. Duvall will stand un
excellent chance OF securing the cleo
ton to the lower house. lie is said to
be exceedingly popular, a young man
Of marked ability and nm all around
hustler i'll politics. Concerning the
chances of Mr.. Newlauds there is
ILorc doubt.
The fighting qualities OF Senator
Stewart cannot be dtspised. and his
staunch adherence to free silver has
made him Il host of friends IN Ii state
where nine out OF ten voters are nd
vocateS Of the white metal. so that the
expectations of Mr.. Ncwlands are rs
yet rather hazy though it is admitted
that he is Il hard worker and has a
following OF very active and deter
mined friends.
DUvALL's CHANCES.
In speaking of Mr. Duvall Yesterday
w. Dean of this city, who is u
ed i'll mining i'll Nevada, said: The
chances are very strongly in favor of
the success of Mr.. Duval. He has a
very large acquaintance throughout
the State, and is very popular with
