Certain of the Democratic papers throughout the state seem disposed to
make a great deal of political capital ut of the fnt that two very prominent
Republicans are asprants for the position o. Judge Hawley, recently resigned

split in the ranks of the Republican party It is rue that there are two aTi
ants for: ne position and both are competent an upright men, 1t !" 're' like
wie, that both have a considerable following among their party men in this
state, but it is lot true that a feeling IF bitterness exists between the sup
portes OF the two candidates. Both me are making heir light solely upon merit
They have not found it necessary to resort to any political chicanery, and what
makes both SO eminenty fitted for the position to which they aspire is thu facs
thai neither during theirc connection with politics in the state of Nevada have
evers stopped to the level of cheap politicians. Both ares asking for an homo at
the hands OF their party for services honestly performed in the interests of the
party. The time is at hand when the powers that be must render q final de-
csion in the matter Theirs is 10 envnbe task, but there is lot a Republican
in the Estate but feels that their choice will be the man most deserving o the
plum through point If service, not through point If ability, because in that re-
spect there is little to choose between the two gentlemen aspiring to the hOnora
BILE position
There may b some reason in the belief of the opposition that by agtating
this matter they can aid their " cause, but in the meantime a few things have
happened which has rendered their house on of glass, and from which they
should be cautioned not to throw stones In spite o. the manifold assurances
given ot a few months ago that the silver men and Democrats of the state
had patched u their differences at a love feast which took place in Reno last
spring. and at which representatives of both parties were present, there are still
a few rents and tears in the chasmw which SO sharply divided the party W years
ago and which occured during the progress of h joint convention of the two
parties held at winnemucca at that time. There are still a number of stalwart
silver men whom tn owe feast failed to appeue and these o threaten to
make trouble They were partly responsible for the decided reverse which the
Democratic interests experienced in the state last, election, and they have de-
cmed to again place a ticket in the field. Already Dick Krman has announced
his willingness to accept the nomination for governor from the salwars. His
statement to that effect vas rs follows:
I al willing to accept any place OF the snve ticket from consa.
Bile to governor. I am not seeking an Office and don't expect to be
elected, but I a willing to make the sacrifice in order to prevent the

Thus it is quite evident that the Democratcp party OF Nevada, while making
its little political cruise this fall is destined to encounter lot a few snags in
the course leading to success Besides, the dssension in their W ranks they
have but very little to ofer. for he approval of the votersin the way Of a plat
form. They can make the same contention that other Democratic platforms in
son states are making, that of Democratic authorship If all the good things
in the Republican administration, but such a stand is not apt to win many votes.
because it is a admission of good resulting from Republican rule, with no as
surance thai greater and better things are not destined to follow in the course
Of the same administration. There are a good many other things which might
be mentioned in this connection, but they would be merely a repetition of what
has been mentioned in a previous issue just nw we have been concerned with
certain pocivties of the opposition to seze upon a fanded diversion among
the members of the Republican party because of the appointment of a success
