Since the advent cf Judge HawIey
il;o the Senatorial ring the New
lands people are waring up to the
fact that they have a fight on naud
aud good one Hawley is nm ex.
ceedingly strong man, and he en-
ters the race with plenty of backing
while Newtands is supposed to
have the sheSels of the Sharon es-
tn;e b hind INN with several good
speplers ~ his staff of able lieuten
ants The Silver men rejnice. in the
situation, their political promoters
sewing fiat Francis q, can now no
longer lay back aud take it easy but
has to bring the force of the Sharon
dollars into the fight and support
II whole State ticket from Top to
bottom. II is also easy to see that
the Silver men, who were humbled
to the dust two years ago at Virginia
by the Democrats, will not take
quite so much slack this year
Two years ago they allo we'd the
Democrats to call for the nomination
of a certain kind of a ticket or there
would be no fusion, but now the
main thing they want is the United
States Senatorship and the Congress-
man. If they get these the Silver
men will surely insist on the most,
if not all the rest of the State ticket,
for they claim about the double the
Democratic voting strength, and
the result of the recent primary elec-
tions carries out this idea So much
for the Democracy and what they
want and what they will call for in
the proposed fusion at the State con-
vention at Reno on the Goth instant.
The Silver party will probably be
contented in being accorded the
various State Offices which they have
enjoyed full possession of for some
years past
The Silver party was much the
strongest at the election four years
ago, winning out over the Democracy
with the whole ticket. and the Re-
publicans only elected Prof. hing,
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton. But the Democracy claims,on
the other hand, that the Silver Party |
does not exist outside of Nevada;
that theirs is national party, while
the Silver party is not recognized in
the national halls of Congress, and
therefore they should have all of the
national pie and goodly portion OF
the State cake.
As far as the Democratic and Silver
party situation now stands it is
hard thing to guess, for plenty OF
candidates are in the field and plenty
more bobbing up every day, and
these promises to be the liveliest
political circus at Reno on the 26th
that ever has been witnessed in the
Battle-born State. 1t will be fusion
or confusion, most probably the
latter.
Perhaps / have laid too much
stress upon the movements OF the
Silver and Democratic parties but as
they ruled the roost four years ago
they are entitled to special considera-
ton again at this time. Success or
possibilities of success must never be
ignored. Beyond placing Judge
Hawley in the field for United States
Senator and e. S. Harrington OF
Elko for Congressman the Republi-
cans move along quietly in even
tenor of their way, apparently just
saving wood and watching the ad-
versary. But at their convention
September 18th a full, satisfactory
ticket will be placed in the field.
Newlands himself seems paralyzed
with the way things are shaping,and
is keeping himself shady and quiet.
Even his brainy first lieutenant, Bar
tine, strolls about Carson when not
secluded at home with an uncertain
look and little to say in politics. And
no wonder that Newlands is expert
encing a change in the spirit of his
political dream when he sees the
Silver party which created him now
demonstratively arrayed against him
and far more able and popular
man than himself placed unanim-
ously in the field against him by the
