Justice Rutledge held an inquest Satur-
day or the remains of the man killed by
S,ls Lindstrom at Vivian. The evidence
of Linstrom and two other witnesses was
to tie effect that the dead man entered
Linstrom's saloon and began shooting
without saying a word. From this evil
denoe the jury brought in a verdict exoner-
ating Linstrom. But little is known of
the man in Carlin. We learned from Dep
uty Constable Nichols to-day that the
dead mans name was F. Wilson and that
he arrived in Carlin on the End of this
month, having been shipped from Port
land, Oregon, to work on the construction
work between Carlin and Elko. -Four bull.

J.P Raines came up from Carlin on

ing Of a man who attempted to hold up
Gus Linstrom in bis saloon at u work

Mr.. Raines informs us that just as he

Nichols, left for the scene.

Nine bullets from the revolver took

rnE nErupL1oAx a

A day or two since The Journal in a
brief editorial called attention to the in
tense al anxiety Of the Republicans for the
Fusionists TO divide, and scatter their
votes. Some Of our Republican oon-
temporaries devoted much space to the
matter OF Judge Bonnitield's withdrawal
from the Legislative ticket, declaring
that his action made the county certain-
ly Republican. The same papers would
have covered him al over with abuse il
he had not withdrawn. Clearly it was
not the mere fact Of his declining the
nomination that made these papers so
iubilant. They found their pleasure in
tho though, that there might be IL want
OF harmony among the tusionists OF
Humboldt.
There is Il lesson i'll which Democrats
and Silver Party men should study
closely.
The aim OF their opponents is to di.
vide and conquer, SO far us they expect
TO conquer ut all.
But, the Republi ans do not expect to
win generally. They are only looking
for advantages in spots. They do not
believe toE a m that they car elect
their entire State ticict. They have no
serious thought Of defeating Mr. New.
land. They 10 hope to cut into his ma
jority in the next leg islature by dividing
the Fusion vote i'll The Legislative dis.
tricts.
More especially do they expect to elect
in this way as many State Senators rs
possible, who will hold over aud, OF
course, vote for Mr.. Stewart two years
hence Thns it will he seen, wherever
there ia amy local trouble about the

a good rule in politics. As in war. is to
find ont what yunr opponent want. you
to do aud then do something else. The
Republicans are intensely n%nxious for
the F~usionists to- divide, and therefore
the F~usionists should weld themselves
together more firmly than ever.
There has not, been disag reement
enough to affect the general Legislative
result. Those which have occurred have
not come from any want OF accord
among the masses OF the voters, but
from conflicting personal ambitions
These may be honorable or otherwise in
different cases. But this thing every
honest voter should bear in mind. No
personal ambition should he permitted
to thwart the popular will, or j. orardiZr
the success Of those who ARE clearly III
the majority. Hence, everywhere, there
should be d concerted effort to concen-
trate the Fusion vote. Candidates who
are i'll the field merely rs disturbers-
who represent nothing but themselves
should 10 absolutely ignored. In gem
ernl. this probably will he done. 1t
ought to be done in all cases.
The voters should he intelligent
enough to disting uish the true from thc
false. To be urc there may I've cases IN
winch both candidates may be perfectly
sincere. Such candidates must certain
ly be able to see TINT neither personal
ambition nor the public good can he
eubseryed by presenting u divided front
to n united enemy. Wherever the
F~usionists are doing this they are
simply doing what their Republican
opponents want them to 20, and it liz the
poorest politics imaginable.
