The Nevada Democrat., 1856-09-24
PumnR the Ticket.

Admonished by the example of the Journal
and Republican Banner, it seems that we should
have gone into general Puff-oration over each
of our County candidates.
We have carefully read the biography of each
of the candidates on the K. n. ticket as prepar-
ed at the Office of the Nevada Journal. We have
also perused the memoirs of the candidates on
the Republican ticket, written and composed by
the Lord knows who, but printed in the Repub-
lican Banner And after this thorough exam
inaton of all the good points presented in these
several biographies, we are satisfied that there
isn't single man on either ticket, from estate
Senator''down to Coroner" who is not perfect
ly qualified for the Presidency of the United
States. 1t is pity that such qualifications
should be thrown away upon such mean posi-
tiOns.
1t is not customary anywhere in the country,
that we know of, to get up these interesting his
tories and we confess that we have somewhat, N
our own mind, underrated their value, if any in
telligent man attaches to them the slightest i'm
portance. Everybody is aware that the editor
of party newspaper, is going to sack his brain
to say something complimentary of those who
compose his ticket. Who ever heard of one do
ing otherwisc-and we have seen it laid on so
thick that sensible men must have been disgust
cd at it.
Except in general way, we have said moth
ing of the ticket for County officers at the head
of our columns. 1t is ticket of which we are
Justly proud, and the men upon itare of sufficient
merit to 20 before the people without being
licked into shape after the fashion of the Jour-
nal and Banner. They are known over the
whole County. The voters will judge OF their
fitness for the places for which they are candi-
dates, and that is enough.
At the same time that we have not entered
into fulsome panegyric upon each of our can
didates we have abstained from any dispraise
or personal abuse of those opposed to us. We
were satisfied to leave all to be weighed as they
will be. The gentlemen who have performed
the mighty labor of white washing their candi-
dates. have greatly, we think, over estimated
both their ability and their influence, if they
suppose that what they have said has had the
slightest effect in changing the opinions of any
man, with regard to those of whom they have
spoken.
After much Struggling Of the shoulders and
significant winkings and blinkings upon the
part of the Joarnal, ntimating what they could
if they only would we have in the last ISSUE
the bill of Indictment against the Democratic
ticket. spread before the public. And what
does it amount to ? Just nothing. No charge is
made against any one. 1t is true the question
is asked "what man casting his vote intelligent
ly, can vote for Cassin or Moore or Chase ?"
and although it may be the opinion of the I'M
partial editors of the Journal that they are bet
ter qualified for Legislative duties than any
one else, it does not follow that it will appear
so to intelligent men generally. So far from
it, that we are confidently of the belief that the
public opinion has settled it, that one at time
of that firm, is quite enough. Mr.. Gamble and
Mr.. Scott it is sad were Know Nothings. Well,
that may be true. If so, perhaps it is a little
disreputable in them, but our neighbor furnish
es the argument, we do not say it, They are
Democrats now-and we arc surprised that men
who are going around the County with drag
net trying to catch anybody and everybody,
should undertake to employ such an argument.
We shall close our article here with an ac-
count of this drag net business. 1t is simply
composed of Fillmore Club, organized out OF
X. N. council, and the last Journal predicts
that it twill do efficient service in the campaign"
The astounding fact is set forth that :
"All citizens of whatever party, favorable to
the election of Millard Fillmore, shall be eligl-
bic to membership"
The officers of this club, so says the Journal,
are President-J +. Rudolph; Vice President
G. +. Wood; Secretary-T, Ellard Beans; Cor
responding Sec'y-E. G. Waite; Executive Com
mittee-A. A. Sargent, G. Hirst, John Ander-
son, C. G. Green, Miles Galley.
Many of these gentlemen are very clever
men, but every one of them X N, and here
tofore little more select in their political asso-
Citations.
The devil was we'll the devil monk he,
The devil got sick the devil monk would be.
