Carson Letter.

last Saturday. The body was well rep
resented by able men from different
parts of The State. The organization
is at work with vim and ambition
Sheriff Kinney of Ormsby met most of
them at the depot as they came in, and
asked all that he met whether they had
heard from Jones yet. The effect was
like the passing of cloud over the
face of the sun. However, they seemed
to feel better when they got over it,
for before they left many of them as
sured "those who left the grand old
party in 1892" that they had picked on
a man whose shoulders were made to
order. to fit the Senatorial mantle. The
only question was twill he acceptY
If he accepts, it is all over but the
shouting. He is a Nevadan, and he
has heart like an OK; intellectually,
he is the peer of any man. in the United
States Senate to-day; he will wipe out
which has been fastened on the State
of Nevada, before he takes his seat,
and he needs no money to carry the
election, and he will carry the ticket
with him. No man will vote against
him without hoping that he is throw
ing his ballot away. He is sans peur
ct sans reproche. II such man has
been living in Nevada it is sad COM
mentary upon the intelligence and in
tegrity of the State that it has never
found 1t out-nor knows it yet Per-
sonally, | hope will never permit any
party connections to run away with

would vote for such man, and with
pleasure. If he is Nevadan, he will
favor tariff for revenue only, because
Nevadan, not only means a bona .fote
resident and citizen of the State, but it
also means a person who advocates
it's interests. through thick and thin;
and, as Nevada would be greatly bene-
fitted by getting it's farming imple
ments, mining machinery, wire, nails,
clothing, chemicals, railroad iron,
sugar, etc., etc., great deal cheaper
than 1t does, no man can be a true Me-
vadan, unless he favors such reduc-
tions in the tariff as will yield suffi
cient for revenue only. But, how will
such man fit in, anywhere, within the
folds of that giant organization, the
National Republican Party? Such a
man would not be whipped in by any
party lash, and he would kick over the
traces, and would soon be bounded to
oblivion, unwept, unhonored and UNI
sung, like any other honest man.
There were some criminal towards
among the crew and passengers of the
Walla Walla, which sank in collision
off the Mendocino coast January 2.
The body of James Gallager, nicely
buoyed by life preservers, well fitted
to the body, was picked up fifty miles
from the wreck, after being - days in
water, by the steamer Newberg. He
was tall, athletic man, aged 81 years
He was cool and collected during
danger, because he had carefully
dressed himself and fitted his life pre-
servers. Nearly all, if not all, of the
boats that got away from the steamer,
were not half filled to their carrying
capacity, and most of them picked
some from over-crowded RATS. The
boats pulled away from the steamer
The RATS could not pull away, and they
were soon overcrowded. This shows
that there were many struggling in the
water that could be aided; the cries of
the drowning were heard; humanity
and Christianity was appealing and
pulling upon the heart. strings of those
who were safe in the boats, but the
sounds fell upon the ears of criminal

of overcrowding, no doubt. By stay
ing around until daylight, and look

tainly have been saved-and how many
more? These men reached Eureka,
and were received with cheers, and
their every comfort looked after by
the good people of the town, and they
departed amid the cheers of the pop
