STEWARDS METE0RIC FLIGHT.

Senator Stewart came to Nevada a
few weeks since laden with confidence
that he would bag the State for the
last party to which he has recently
transferred his slippery and traitorous
allegiance. The Federal brigade met
him with cordially, but the reception
of the people was SO freezing as to
affect even Stewards colossal assur-
ance. He was in Nevada about seven
days. During that time he was ex-
ceedingly active. He went to Car
sOn-interviewed Judge Hawley; went
down to San Francisco-interviewe
the railroad. And at the latter place
first announced in an interview in the
Bulletin. Judge Hawleys candidacy
and assured election
He next wished to convince the Re-
publican OrganiZation-skep of
the wisdom of submitting to Stewards
leadership. but hungry for funds
that he would have abundant financial
support: so, on the Sunday previous
to his departure. he took Mr.. Lennon
of the Carson News. United States
District Attorney Summerfield. Mr..
Parry. SurveyorGeneral Kyle and a
few others of the Republican push to
Lake Tahoe. and there they sailed a
round the Lake in company with
prominent Southern Pacific official.
What passed between Stewart and
the prominent official is not known,
but one thing is known: Stewart as
sured his associates that everything
was ripe that Newlands was beat
en-; that Hawley was elected sure. and
great was the jubilation of the push.
Then he suddenly went to the East
1t has been a matter of conjecture
as to what the motive of his eastern
trip was. The general assumption
was that his Republican associates in
this State assured him that his I'M
popularity was so enormous that he
would handicap the Republican ticket
in this State by his advocacy. and
that it was best for him to absent him
self from the State The other assum
ption was that he went east for the
purpose of interviewing the trusts
the Republican National Campaign
Committee and the President of the
United States, with view to bringing
all the forces. administrative and fl
nancial to the support OF Hawley-
and against Newlands. Probably
both assumptions were correct. Al
