GLOOM PREVAILS IN
REPUBLICAN RANKS
Crowd at Headquarters Blames
Leland for Defeat

Gloom pervaded the republican head
quarters in The Pacific building at an
early hour last night. A band of the
faithful continued taking the returns
and adding them up until a compare
Glvely late hour, extracting what com
fort they could from the victory Of
Fiekert but. the. fact that Croker
alipped into third place at the outset
and got further and further behind
as the night grew older. was a bitter
pill TO swallow.
Many and Teep. were the dennncia-
tionss of Leland. IF Leland had but
withdrawn from. the contest Crocker
would certainly have been elected, was
the concensus of opinion. Independent
republicans voting for Leland have
elected Mccarthy, said the watchers:
All returns from the registrars Of
fee were taken to w. H. Jordan, chair
man Of the county republican commit
tee he kept the vote for mayor to-
tailed as It went along Before 8
O'Clock partial returns from precincts
in all parts OF the city showed Crocker
900 votes behind Mccarthy. 1t was
still hoped, however, the republican n
candidate would pull up, but each. re-
turn put Mccarthy a little further
ahead, and. Crocker in. a relatively
worse position -
BY 9:45 o'clock the union labor stan
dard bearer was leading crocker by
more than 500 and Leland was 240 In
advance of the republican. 1t was then
conceded that Crocker's defeat was cer-
tain.

WEEL, WHAT
DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT this +?
Especial to the Bonanza.)

CARSON, May 11-There has been
a ripple of merriment in political cir
cles here the past few days because
of the report now well circulated
that Judge Jimmy Sweeney, the anti
gambler, is going to quit the Demo-
cratic party and with assurance from
strong Republican friends he is going
to aspire for the Republican nomina-
tion for governor next year. Jimmy
is very reticent about the affair and
processes to know nothing of it. Sam
Davis of the publicity committee, it
is stated, has been consulted with a
view of launching the boom in the
Republican camp. When this will
be done is not known yet.
Blakeslee of the Southern Pacific
company, was to have aided engin-
eering the scheme several weeks ago,
but his attention was wholly occupied
in aiding the campaign against Britt
and for Harris in Reno. Now Blakes-
lee has gone to Tonopah and report
has it here that his entire time in the
south is being devoted to laying plans
for Sweeney to capture the Republi-
can prize. 1t is known that Sweeney
is very close to Senator Nixon and
has many things to be thankful for to
that gentleman. Nixon, too, feels a
very warm regard for James. The
jurist, it is believed, is rapidly tiring
of the quiet life he is leading and is
wiling to go out and battle for his
new cause at any opportune time.
