cross notoriety. the Republicans have
half a dozen men in the Gov
ernor class. The silver party has
lowered every department of the
State government. The State
House, the Supreme bench, the
Orphans Home, the asylum have all
been put upon lower plane than they

OF the style of the governing staff at

changed his mind, and is a candidate
Tor the position into which he fell when
Governor Jones died. The silver men
were weak enough to elect him Lieu
tenant Governor. Whether they can
stomach him as Governor or not re-
mains to be seen. His principal rival
IN MS own party is the woolly and un-
tanned Lem Allen from Churchill, whose
chief recommendations are his long

courage of the candidates seems to
ooze out at their finger ends. This is
true Tor many reasons. They know
they would have desperate fight
against one of the ablest political man
ayers the country has ever had Sena-
tor Stewart's untiring energy is some
thing they fear, and he boldly an
nounces that he is in the field against
all corners. The Republicans seem to
concede the fact that they have no one
with means and time to win against
him, and his own party will probably
unite on him.

is probable that the men who have
found the follies of the times too hard
to swallow will have the pleasure of
standing to one side and taking the
abuse heaped upon those who decline

of poverty and bad management on the
