Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-01-25

Never in the history OF senatorial con
tests has there been the public spirit
cvinced as has been shown during this
campaign. Everything politically has
been showed out of the way, and the big
fight taken up. The contest has been the
town talk, street talk and the one theme
that has occupied the columns of the
press for the past W months.
SHORT HISTORY.
w. NJ. Stewart has represented this
State for the past twelve years, and at the
opening of the campaign last fall he re-
turned from his labOrS at Washington.
and placed his name before the Silver
Party State Convention as candidate for
Senator. There was no other candidate
at the time, and he was given the support
of the party, Endorsed at the convention,
and seemed to have no opposition. +. G.
Newlands was nominated a Congressman
on the same ticket, and in convention
with his nomination pledged himself 10
the support of Senator Stewart, and
indorsed the platform. RItnors were cur-
rent shortly after that Mr., Newlamds had
Senatorial aspirations.
His friends doubted such assertions,
and continued to make his fight for Con
gresham. He was elected by a handsome
majority, and it was not until the votes
had been counted that the truth flashed
upOn the members of the Silver party
that he had been secretly working to
dermined the people who had elected
him. Counties that should have given
Stewart legislative members were t0und
in the hands Of the enemy, and the word
was given out by NeWlands that Stewart
was beaten, and he WAS a candidate to
succeed him. The announcement cleared
the mysteries, and the fight was on.
The people know how it has been
waged. The Silver men and organs have
caused Mr.. Newlands to be branded as a
traitor to his cause and an enemy TO sill
yer. He was read out. Of the party, and
his manager, Mr.. Sharon, has been de
posed from the Craftsmanship of the Sill
yer party of Nevada.
THE N~OMINATI0NS.
The fight was carried on to the eleventh
hour, and no stone left unturned to polit-
ically kill the man who endeavored to be
