not include his wife's property, but
nevertheless it made him one of the
wealthiest Americans of his time.

if fortune was ever more honestly

THE ONLY KrPuBL1cAN HOPE.

Day by day it becomes clearer that
the Republicans have no idea Of win
ming a general victory in November, and
that their only hope is to gain some
scattering advantages here and there by
dividing the Fusion vote. This is per.
fectly apparent from the tone Of the Re-
publican press. IL there is harmony
and union in a certain county 1t is said
that Newlands' money was the factor
which produced the result. Ii ihrre is

strong candidnte-certain to carry
Humboldt county. Ilrd he remained
upon the ticket, or had he been nomiu-
ated for a State Office, the same news
pupers would have discreditcd and dis.
paraged him all through the campaign.
Now, while recognizing the fact that
Humboldt county is overwhelmingly
against the Republican party those
papers are claiming that the disagree.
