STEWARDS LOBBY.

It Is understood that the Southern
Pacific railroad lobby in Carson this
winter, that will watch the company's
interests in electing Stewart will be as
follows:
C. c. Wallace, Stephen Gage, Col.
Jack Chinn, Dave Nagle and Win Nir-
gin.
The first named is too well known In
Nevada to need any further introduce
tion to the people of Carson. He has
heretofore hold the distinction of hay-
ing more power than any other one
man In the United States. His will has
been Nevada's law generally and his
course through the political forest is
not blazed by the failures he has made.
1t Is believed that the present year is the
first OF many in which no has recorded
a single failure. He represents the in
%terests of the railroad in Nevada the
year round.
Stephen Gage once occupied the po-
sition now held by Wallace, in this State,
but becoming proficient in the art OF
manipulating he was transferred
to California whore the field was greater
and his talents were called into full
play. Here his occupation of inhuenc.
ing legislators and elections nourished
for many years and he was considered
the king of the lobbyists and any par
tieular and important job the railroad
might have on hand mot necessarily In
the interest of the people, either) Was
trusted TO him alone. He was so sue
cessful that he is reported very wealthy
even a millionaire by some. That he
will appear on the seene this winter
plainly indicates the Importance OF
Stewards election TO the Southern Pa
cifc. Gage has already made one trip
into Douglas county presumably on this
business.
Colonel Jack Chinn is an importation
from Kentucky. He was formerly a
famous ace horse man and his name Is
familiar TO all sporting men. 1t is pre-
sumed, however, that he has been in
the employ OF the Southern Pacific rail-
road for some years and he will give the
fractions legislator anything he wants
from argument to a fist or gun fight.
II was he who caused the dead lock In
the Kentucky legislature some years
ago IN U. S. Senator and IL was his nice
NOih VIII hit AAItAbCiS VI buC ltkA1Ad-
ture that prevented the Southern Pa
cifc from losing its charter two years
ago when the Kentucky legislature was
in session. He has had several duels
and IS supposed to know which end OF a
gun TO point outward. He arrived on
the train with Senator Stewart the
other day and it IS given out that he is
here TO purchase horses from Winters
at least that is what a member of the
Stewart retinue told The News.
Chinn will be tlanked by Dave Nagel
who is a very choice importation-in
his way. He is the man who shot and
killed Judge Terry in a restaurant some
years ago In cold blood and atthat time
was supposed TO be for sale TO anyone
who needed a first class gun fighter, and
went on the reputation Of being 4 very
bad man. He has a record which would
look nice framed as a companion piece
TO Stewards and which all readers OF
newspapers are familiar and Carson will
not be greatly honored by his presence
that is. not very much.
VIII Virgin is q Genoa raised young
man and recently has taken a great in
terest in politics. He was engaged a
few weeks ago Dy some of the Stewart
ties to circulate a petition in Douglas
county PRAYING the members of the
Legislature there to vote for Stewart,
with what success he declines to say.
It. is understood that he was selected by
Gage.
How much further the program runs
The News IS sorry to admit il has not
learned. for this paper for some unac-
eOuntablp reason. il not In on the Croen1
floor in railroad ana Stewart circles. II
is trusted that Stewart viii not over
look Wyatt carp and II he 10 still short
Of material he might get in and do a
little lobbying himself.-Carson News.
