To the Editor Of the SENTINEL:

probabilities. As near as n not famil-
lar with the way it is done in Nevada |
have come to the conclusion that there
will be a parting Of the ways" in the
Fusion ranks when the nominating con-
vention meets in August If, indeed, not
before that event. My conclusions are
based on the following reasons The Hon.
Francis G. Newlands is ambitious to be
the sit" in Nevada politics. While n
would naturally think he would be salts
fed with his party's support for United
States Senator, he is not, that is, he don't
appear to be. 1t looks to me that MIR.
Newlsnds not only wanted his party to
support him, but every other candidate
on the ticket Of his naming. He has Van
Duzer on his string Of candidates for Con-
gress. Then, too, he wants to name the
next Governor. and unless all signs go for
naught he has the Hon. M. s. Bonniield
of Humboldt in training to take the Sec
ond place on the Fusion ticket. II that
be go it is not likely to ''inspire conf
dence" in the present incumbent.
Farmer Allen of Churchill is quite a
politician, too, and he has his eye on not
only Mr.. Newlands, but every other con-
tingency that may arise to keep him Ear
mer Allen out of the State House.
Eugene Howell is not sleeping on his
rights" either, and it is said that Govern
or Ssdler is helping Gene to keep awake.
Gene is after N. w. Roff's scalp, and if he
don't hang it in the party wigwam to dry
it won't be Howell's fault, and will prob
ably be laid at the door of the Newlands
mansion overlooking the Valley of the
Truckee from The flights above Reno.
Coryell Of Elko has SHE'D his name into
the G~ubernatorial contest, but will prob
ably be satisfied with the nomination for
Lieutenant Governor. Indeed, many
think that he "strikes high" with malice
and aforethought."
The smaller crumbs to fall from the Flu
sion banquet board will be eagerly picked
up by the hungry Of the craft.
Surveyor General Kelley is as still as a
mouse to all outward appearances, and is
evidently making a still hunt.
All these little circumstances combined
mean something.
The Republicans have seen fit TO post
pone their convention from August to the
middle of September. Just what the G.
o. p. did it for has not yet developed, and
l doubt if the committeeman who voted
for a postponement know. l will venture
the assertion, however, that it means just
nothing at all. The Reps thought prob
ably that they must keep at work." But
enough about politics.
The social side of Reno's make up has
had a coat of fresh paint lately and Sum-
mer outing parties are all the go, OIL will
be when the days become a little warmer
Judge and Mrs. A. E. Cheney, formerly
of Eureka, entertained the Nevada Club
last Friday evening at the Club House on
the banks of the Truckee, at the foot Of
Chestnut street.
Pong Pone is the fad Of the 400" now
and many interesting games are played.
Tennis takes up a goodly share of their
time, too. 1t is quite amusing to see the
angular and sharp cornered form of Bob
Fulton skipping about the court of the
Nevada Club like q boy of Is, trying to
hit the ball with his raquet. Then there
is the dignifed President j. E. Stubs OF
the University, clothed in white duck.
bending all his energies to timber up his
stiffened joints after a hard days work at
his desk. Oscar ]. Smith, we'll known
in Eureka, is said to be q coming cham.
pion on the Nevada court, while Judge
Cheney is an expert hitter.
The High School and University com
mencement season is about here again,
and professors, teachers and students are
up to their ears in work getting ready for
the Summer vacation.
The building boom is still on and many
pretty homes are being built. while sew
eral stately business blocks are going up
on several streets.
1t is said that Congressman and Mrs.
Newlands will entertain quite extensively
this Summer and early Fall at the big
house on The Nights.
Merchants are complaining a little
about high rents and dull times.
President Hartman of the Southern
Pacific was a visitor to Reno Friday last,
and a committee headed by w. H. Pat
terson and tailed by s. Summerfield. gave
the magnate a little advice as to what he
should do and the way his road should be
run. He took in all the committee offered
but gave nothing in return. But this is
enough. 16 TO l, Bur WHICH ONE.
