sTEWART'S METEORlC FLIGHT.

few weeks since laden with confidence
that he would bag the State for the
last party to which he has recently
transferred his slippery and traitor
GUS allegiance. The Federal brigade
met him with cordiality, but the re-
ception of the people was so freezing
as to affect even Stewards colossal
assurance. He was in Nevada about
seven days. During that time he was
exceedingly active. lie went to Car
son--interyiewed Judge Hawley; went
down to San Francisco-intervie iewed
the railroad. And at the latter place
first announced, in an interview in the
Bulletin, Judge Hawley's candidacy
and assured election.
lie next wished to convince the
Republican organization-skeptical of
the wisdom of submitting to Stewart 3
leadership, but hungry for funds
that he would have abundant financial
support; SO, on the Sunday previous
to his departure, he took Mr.. Lem
mon of the Carson News, United
States District Attorney Summerfleld,
Mr.. Parry, Surveyor-General Kyle
and a few others of the Republican
push to Lake Tahoe, and there they
sailed around the lake in company
with prominent Southern Pacific
Company official. What passed be-
tween Stewart and the prominent Off
eial is not known, but one thing Is
known: Stewart assured his asso-
ciates that everything was right"
that Newlands was beaten; that Haw-
ley was elected, sure. And great was
the jubilation of the push.
Then he suddenly went to the Fast.
1t has been matter of conjecture az
to what the motive of his eastern trip
was. The general assumption was
that his Republican associates in this
State assured him that his unpopu-
larity was so enormous that he would
handicap the Republican ticket in
this State by his advocacy, and that
it was best for him to absent himself
from the State. The other assump-
tion was that he went East for the
purpose of interviewing the trusts,
the Republican national campaign
committee and the President of the
United States, with view to bring
ing all the forces, administrative and
financial, to the support of Hawley
and against Newlands. Probably
both assumptions were correct. At all
events, our newspaper exchanges give
most amusing accounts of Stewards
pilgrimage from the West to the East.
All along the line wherever he has
had an opportunity he has INDUCED
in jeremiad against Mr.. Newlands.
We give few specimens. In San
Francisco he said:
Judge Hawley will be the next
United States Senator. Newlands has
overdone his booming. He claims
everything for himself-he has done
it all. People don't care anything
about busted balloon.''
Then in Salt Lake he said:
81 have hopes that Nevada will go
Republican this fall. The people out
there have been out in the cold SO
long they must be getting tired of it.
Newlands can do nothing for them.
Newlands has nothing to expect from
President Roosevelt. Just as | was
leaving Washington the President
caught me by the shoulder and said:
Stop minute When did stop he
said: Il see your Mr.. Newlands'-I
told him that he was not my Mr..
Newlands, and he said: Well, Mr..
Newlands has been claiming that he
gave me the facts about irrigation
used in my message. The truth Is,
| never discussed the subject with
him at all. Ii you hear he has re-
peated the statement out in Nevada
telegraph me and will contradict
it'''
We can imagine from whom this in
formation came. 1t doubtless came
from the genial william, who would
hesitate at no lie In order to injure
Mr.. Newlands with the President or
any one else. The readers of Mr..
Newlands' interviews and speeches
know that Mr.. Newlands has always
given the President full credit for his
earnest advocacy of irrigation. The
difficulty is, that the malicious Stew
art has failed in his effort to prove
that the irrigation bill was a Repub-
licap measure, and, as he can say
nothing against the bill, he attacks.
the author and endeavors to malign
Mr.. Newlands to- the President, hop
ing he may thus enlist the full sup
port of the Administration in his
schemes.
