SADLER HAS WITHDRAWN.
A Lively Fight Being Made for the Various
Nominations at the Fusion Conventions.

III
over the State, and they are conventions
of delegates and not of proxies. Every
delegate is pledged to fusion, and fusion
will prevail. However, there are a num-
Der of candidates for every office and a
number of factions to placate before
complete fusion can be accomplished.
and this can only be done by the hardest
kind of fighting. Fusion will be accom-
plished nevertheless. as the delegates
will not shirk their duty.
The Republican party, the party of the
trusts, Is the common enemy of both
the Democratic and Silver parties, and
1t is the duty of these parties to fuse,
nominate a strong State ticket and go
into the fight to win. The Republican
leaders lave been doing everything pos
sible to create dissension in the Demo-
cratic and Silver parties with a hope of
preventing a union of strength between
them.

vadans.
The Reno Journal to arrive this after
noon says:
The biggest political conventions ever
seen in the State of Nevada will be held
today. Interest in the question at issue
is so intense taht very few delegates,
even from the most inaccessible sections
of the State, have failed to put in an
appearance Proxies are as scarce as
cherries In Kent at Christmas time. The
Democratic war horses will congregate
In McKissick's opera house and the Sill
Yer Party stalwarts will meet In Wheel
mems hall.
Everything indicates perfect harmony
of action. and the feeling was expressed
by the leaders of both parties that fusion
will be accomplished without friction.
Governor Sadler, after looking over
the situation, last evening ascertained
hat his candidacy for succeeding him
self would be a stumbling block in the
way of perfect harmony and fusion be-
tween the two parties realizing that
the success of the party was paramount
to any ones personal ambition, grace
fully withdrew from the contest and will
probably be named as chairman of the
Silver Party convention, which place.
he is perfectly capable of filling and will
give his best efforts to maintain the
Democratic and Silver parties. Governor
Sadler Is to be recommended for his I'M
selfish and patriotic action and it is hop
ed that other candidates, who are placed
in similar situations, will be equally will
ing to sacrifice their personal ambitions
for the good of the party.
The elimination of Governor Sadler's
candidacy clears the political atmos-
phere like a thunderstorm and now all
eyes are turned toward John Sparks as
the man to lead the allied forces on to
victory and 1t looks at this writing as
though he will receive the unanimous
vote of both conventions.
AS the nomination for Governor thus
goes to the Democrats, 1t follows as a
natural consequence that the nomination
for Lieutenant Governorship will go to
the Silver party.
