to Nevada and the party as the Presi'
dency, and he asked How do you
Democrats and Silverites stand on
that?" There was no response to this
question for some time, and then the
following exchange of views was given
First Speaker-"I like Governor Sad
Ter, he is a jolly old possum. He would
make it very interesting for the boys,
but he can't be elected"
Second Speaker-"I have nothing
against Sadler, except / don't think he
is available"
Third Speaker-"I think Judge Fitz-
gerald would be an ideal candidate. but
as he announced that he desired t 60
TO the Senate solely in the interest of
the silver cause, he would not, I pre-
sumo, permit his name to be used in
that connection since Parker and the
st. Louis Convention have declared that
the gold standard is unalterably estab-
lished."
Fourth Sreaker-"I think we had
better wait and see whom our Senator
prefers.
Fifth Speaker-"Why, he is for Billy
Sharon. Didn't you see that interview
the Senator had with himself In the
Reno Journal on the eve Of his leaving
for st. LOUISE"
Sixth Speaker-"Yes, in that inter-
view he said Billy was loyal and a great
worker in the silver cause, but that it
might be urged against him that he was
a nonresident; that while he was not a
member of his, the SENATOR'S family, he
vas a relative of his first wife, a cousin
IN some degree l believe. Evidently he
IS the choice of our Senator"
Seventh Speaker - "Well. Billy
Sharon is a bully boy, full of fun and
frolic, and while / admit that it ia a
1reat credit for a man TO be related to a
woman In any degree Of kinship, Idon't
hink that his being a second cousin to
a member of the original Sharon family,
qualities him for the Senate either in
tellectually or as to citizenship"
The Same Populist-"O. you fellows,
get off your perch, You want Nixon.

old, and yet he is engaged extensively
IN almost every industry in this State
raising horses for the farm, the road and
race track; raising sheep and cattle by
large herds. farming ON the largest scale
in this State, developing more mines
than any other man, in the hotel bust
ness, and at the head of three banks.
You will readily see that if You encoar-
age his ambition, in d few years he will
practically monopolize every industry
in this State worth considering. / ad-
wise you fellows to send Van Duzur to
the Senate. There is no danger of his
monopolizing anything, except the sale
of wildcat mining stocks, and as YOU
are not interested in that business his
monopoly can not hurt you"
"Well, my choice was Governor
