JUDGE MAssEY's CANDIDACY

While it il unquestionably the privi-
lege of every citizen to aspire to any
Office within the gift of the American
people, q majority Of the Republicans
Of the state had hoped that Judge Mas
sey would have no opposition for the
nomination for governor. Having pat
riotically consented to sacrifice his per-
sonal interests for the benefit of the
people of the state, it seemed that the
least the Republicans could do in return
would be to spare him the expense and
fatigue of making a campaign before
the primaries.
However, Senator Oddie saw fit to
avail himself Of his prerogative, and
the contest 10 now on. Both candi-
dates are headed for Winnemucca and
are expected to reach here within the
next ten days.
The manly words uttered by Judge
Massey ON the v Of his departure
from Reno win give his many friends
renewed confidence in his Republican
ism, il such q thing is possible. Those
who are acquainted with the genial
Judge-and their name is legion
knowing that he would make a gentle
manly and dignifed campaign, expect
ed nothing else.
If, through any f~ortuitous circum-
stance, Judge Massey shall fail of the
nomination, his successful opponent
viii have NO more ardent supporter. On
the other hand, should he receive the
nomination, which now seems extreme
~ probable, it is to be hoped that
Senator Oddie win pursue q like course.

The weather remained decidedly

been more popular or more liked

Charles B. Ryan, general passenger

the live characters aboard yesterday.
He has Caruso-like aspirations, his
most touching selection being a sad

J. P .Billups Qsadore Billups), of
Atlanta, was easily the life OF the
crowd. He made the trip interest
ing for almost every one there.
J. A. Higgins, also of Atlanta, was
the ventriloquist of the party and
made fun for everyone with his clev-
er work.
C. B. Hervey came all the way
from Mobile expressly for the trip,
which shows what kind of a hotel
man he is and what sort Of a real live
booster.
Admiral Young was there-but
what really important affair is COM
plete without the presence of Pensa-
cola's greatest dignitary? He is an
essential.
George Hervey was in several
places at once all day. and won the
reputation from every one present as
the Invest hotel man, the most sys-
tematic and effective booster and the
best possible host.
General Passenger Agent Russell
of Louisville, is among those who
are most pleased with the city.
What Mr.. Russell thinks counts, too.
