Tht spectacle of a Uuited HHes
Senator talking about his ability ta
corrupt the voters of a Slate where
he does not oven have a residence,
make very refreshing reading. Th
Republican party owes it to ilsoll ta
see that this mini doe not again dis
grace it in the Halls of Congress
He did not serve the Republican
party of Nevada during the last term.
He siiuplv served himself and his
California interest. A wooden sign
af a cigar atore would have done as
well, so far as Ins constituents were
concerned. Most ot the time ho was
absent, except when a close ballet
was threatened, and then no was ou
band t cast his voto for some cor
poratioii to whoso interests he was
lodged. 11 is bad enougii to ouy
up a majority of State' representa
live with coin, but it seem some
what insulting to brag that it caa be
one again. When Senntor oliaron,
the Califomian, agaiu cnvs belore
the people ot Nevada, and asks them
bow much it will be necessary tor him
lo pay to go to Washington, a re-
... a a a
buko should be administered ta mm
that will silence his pretensions tor
over. The Republicans cannot afford
to have such a drag on its chariot
wheel.

knitted goods and that class. Tho
