Nj. Stewards Candidate.

| 1t is withis bounds to say that the
announcement of Judge Hswley's can
didacy for the United States Senate
has fallen with natness that must
be keenly disappointing to those who
are manipulating the Republican ma
chine of this State. 1t evokes not
the slightest enthusiasm among the
rank and file of the Republicans,
while the fusionists view the Jndges
candidacy ia spirit of perfect I'M
concern. In truth there is an under
currest of Republican comment
which is far from favorable, aud no.
a few members of the party are anx.
ieusly Whispering their inquiries as
to the motives of the Judge in abasd-
oning life posotion on the bench to
become a senatorial candidate under
circumstances SO peculiar.
To the average mind it seems in,
comprehensive that man who has
moved ia judicial sphere nearly ali
his life, and who can now retire upon
full salary at any time, should DELHI
erately cast away the absolute GER
tanity of his present position for.sshd
desperate chance Of becoming: a
United States Senator at The, hand
of the Republicans party OF Nevada.
The conoeusus of oponion seems to he
fttat the Judge will bold on to his Ju
dicial effice and thus take no chances
at all in pursuit. of the senatorial
prize. II has even been intimated
that in the event eli his election AS
Senator, he will net resign the
Judgeship but simply go upon the re-
tired list at full pay, and draw both
salaries.
The belief is almost universal thai
he bringing oat of Hawley is mainly
ht work of VIM NJ Stewart. 1t
needs not the saying that M
Stewart is the most unpopular mas
in the State of Nevada, and justly so
His present Republican associates
despise him for the manner in which
he abandoned them in l892-the
members of the Democratic and
Silver parties feel for him loath-
ing and contempt because OF his more
recent actions. By popular vote he
could not be elected to the smallest
township Office Just as certain
is it that no man can be elected
United States Senator who who
bears the Stewart label, ar who is
suspected OF bearing such label;
With most people in Nevada this sus-
picion is SO strong against Judge
Eawley as to amount to an absolute
convection. And there is an abund-
ance Of circumstantial evidence to
support it.
Long before he left Washington
Mr.. Stewart has openly boasted that
he would have senatorial candidate
in the field against Mr.. Newlands..
Upon his arrival Eere Stewart at
once began to hobnob with the local
manipulators, and, 10! almost imme-
diately the announcement of Haw
ley's candidacy was flashed forth to
the world. The man who cannot see
Stewards handiwork in this move
must be blind indeed. OF course be
cares nothing for Hawley. In poll
tics Mr.. Stewart cares nothing for
any one out himself. Nor does he
expect Judge Hawley to be elected.
His only hope is that number OF
Republican State Senator's will be
chosen this fall. who will hold over
and can be induced to support VIM.
M. Stewart two years later. This is
his game and it is SO transparent
that it should deceive nobody. And
it will not, save possibly Judge Haw-
ley himself. who may honestly be-
lieve that he alone is the man to
work out the political regeneration
of Nevada, State by the way, which
for many years past has been COM
PEELED to take care of itself political,
ly without any of Judge Hawley's
help, for il he ever contributed ma
terially to the aid even Of the Repub-
iican party, the fact is not OF record.
