There is nothing new in the de-
lection Of Senator Stewart, of
Nevada and the Mckinley people
are welcome to him. The facts
are that the silver republicans and
democrats OF the Nevada lepisla.
ture were not able to agree upon a
candidate last year, and the gold
bugs were not strong enough to
make an election. After a long
contest Stewards reelection was
brought about by a combination Of
gold bugs and Stewards followers,
under an agreement that Stewart
should declare his allegiance to
the gold standard party ii this
election. This Stewart has done.
and is one more argument, if argu-
ment is needed, why the people
should elect their senator's by
