There was bitter fight over the
nomination of Secretary of State and
Hon. Eugene Howell the present
efficient incumbent won out by a
vote of IA to Sc. The Virginia
Chronicle has been very vindictive
and has devoted page after page in
trying to stir up "a sentiment to down
Mr.. Howell for the nomination and
has charged him with many things
which upon its face are untrue, and
in this connection he is charged by
the Chronicle with lowering the
wages of the miners in this county
which is untrue. We have known
Mr.. Howell for the past twenty two
years, when he first came to the
county and during all the time he
lived in the county, and at no time
while a resident of this county can
any action of his be called into ques-
ton which will show that he has
been an enemy to the laboring class.
His every consideration has been
otherwise and no man that has ever
worked for Gene Howell in this
county will say aught but good
of hun. AS a State officer he
has been a most efficient one, ever
courteous and obliging and in all
matters looking to the welfare of the
State, he has been ever watchful
and no better evidence is wanted
than the records of his Office which
shows beyond the shadow of pos
sibility of a doubt that during his
incumbency, by his attention to bus
mess, in the purchase of supplies,
the binding of reports, and other
books which come under his super
vision and changes he has made in
the running OF his office in connec-
ton with that Of Librarian aud
Clerk of the Supreme Court he has
saved the State many thousands OF
dollars. Eugene Howell will be re-
turned to the Office which he 20
ftly fills, and Lincoln County will
give him rousing vote notwith-
standing the Considine push OF the
Virginia Chronicle.
In Hon. G.. F. Talbot, the
nominee for Supreme Judge it goes
without saying that he will be elected
He has been the District Judge of
the Fourth District comprising Elko,
White Pine and Lincoln, for the
past ten years and during all OF that
time while on the bench he has been
the right man in the right place.
HIS every act has been to deal out
justice and it is safe to say that he
will receive the largest vote in LIN
coin County Of any nominee that
comes before the people. He is a
Judge that the people of Lincoln
County feel proud Of, and one that
will honor the State in the Judicial
capacity of Supreme Judge which
he will fill next year.
The Convention made a grave
mistake when they Nominated @. ID.
Van Duzer for Congress as he will
go down to defeat on the 4th day OF
November next as the sun sets, no
matter who runs against him. His
course and actions while Speaker Of
the Housa alone in playiny to the
