[Extract from an interview with Senator Sharon, of Nevada.] We need a stronger Government.— The wealth of the country demands it. Without capital and the canitalist our goveanment would not be worth a fig. The capital of the country demands protection; its rights are as sacred, as the rights of the pauper 3, who are continually prating about the encroachment of capital and against centralization. We have tried Grant and we know him to be the man for the place above all others.He has nerve. As President he wo’d be commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and when the communistic tramps of the country raised mobs to tear up railroad tracks and sack cities on the sham cry of “bread or blood,” he would not hesitate to turn

loose on them caunister and grape.— The wealth of the country has to bear the burdens of government, and sho’d control it. The people are becoming educated up to this theory rapidly and the sooner this thhecry is recognized in the constitution and laws the better it will be for the people. Without bloodshed, and rivors of it, there will be no political change of administration. The moneyed interests of the country for self preservation must sustain the Republican party. The railroads, the banks, the manufacturers, . the heavy importers, and all classes of business in which millions are invested, will maintain the supremacy of the Republican party. Democratic success would be bankruptcy to them. To avert fearful bloodshed, a strong central government should be established as soon as possible.;

There can be no change of politi- | cal administration without bloodshed and rivers oft it,” So says radical Senator Sharon. But then this lionaire braggart will not be found at the front. R. E.
