we remain the youngest State in the I'm
ion, let US consider some matters that be-
long to u peace and clear integrity as a
people-matters which duly considered
and determined upon now will vastly en-
nance our future comfort and honor. Our
advice, on this presumptuous occasion, be-
loved reader, will be taken from com
ments we choose to make respecting our
neighbors. These we shall make not in
any pharsaic spirit or tone, for we can
not now say that we are or are to be any
better off than those are of whose griev-
ances we deprecate.
When a man has attained an exalted
position as the gift Of the people or on the
appointment of an Executive-the ap-
pointment being made through the en-
dorsement of q number of the people
there is a sense in which he ought to be
satisfied with his place. If he aspire to
anything higher or different, he has the
full and unquestioned privilege of push
ing his own claims, so long as he does
not thereby and therefor prostitute the
prerogatives of his existing official seat.
But because, for instance, a man is a o.
S. Senator he has not an acquired and
vested right to dictate and control the en-
tire political affairs of the State. A u S.
Senator has q great office, in which he
should devote his entire energies to the
securing of good to his w common
wealth and the Nation at large. If he is
at all worthy Of the place, in temper and
disposition. he will make manifest that
fact by strict and exclusive attention to
the duties which pertain to his Senator
ship. And, really, that is the best way
for him to do, in hope and expectation of
retaining his honors of Office. We have
lamentable examples, in California, Of
pigmies boosting each other into high
authority, and then seeking to gather to
themselves-or the one playing a second
to the other-all the nominating authority
of the State. When the legislature elects
a man U. S. Senator, or the people elect
a man Governor, or the President ap-
points q man District Judge, it certainly
is not the intention of any Of those
who confer the title and power to
constitute the recipient a dictator in the
working Of the machinery Of party. for
his self-aggrandizement. Let us tolerate
nothing whatsoever of this kind in Ne
vada. The Union party must be kept in
majority and harmony. Nothing would
so o disgust the masses and lead to
disruption as the prevailing belief that so
and so, and 81 and SO, lately put in fat
places, were trying, On their special proc
lamation, and through the abuse OF their
position, to arrogate the "say" as to who
else should have favor from the people.
Let every true citizen register, and let US
be reasonably jealous Of our rights as
electors. While it should not be denied
that the official has equal right with us all
to engage actively in the government Of
the community and the State, let us see to
it that no clique Of otice-holders, certainly
that no one or two men in Office, monopo-
lie the elecsing will which abides justly
in all the people. A stitch in time is re-
ported to save nine. Before this kind Of
political and insutferable hoggishness has
an announced commencement in Nevada,
the warning is sounded. None so dull,
we apprehend, as not to understand. We
trust and believe that the News will be
the last journal TO raise q fictitious charge
ut an injurious and demoralizing suspi-
cion. TO the harm Of the Union organiza-
ton we announce candidly, it will be
among the first to squarely denounce any
attempt to corrupt primaries, coerce or
bribe county conventions, or by any means
saddle upon the Union party a man for
principal Office who is not sound to the
very core on the main question Of the
country. We can have a full, free, dis
tinct canvass Of men and measures, with
out bitterness, if we will now set down
our minds in the resolution marked out
by the experience and observation we
have of political affairs in sister States.
Let those who already have much be con-
tent. They shall not instruct voters whom
to favor or reject, nor buy nor bully nom
mating delegations with impunity. We
repeat: while all this basis for depreca-
ton is hundreds of miles away in local
illustration, the notice, remonstrance and
resolution against its transplanting is
wholesome.
