The Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1865-1870, 1868-08-14

seventy five thousand were legal voters, who
if they could have voted, wou d have given q
vast majority for Wadsworth, Mr.. Seymour
was chosen Governor.
But the Tribune being q Black Re
publican organ will, we fear, be regard
ed as being moved by prejudice in its
conclusions ; and for that reason let us
refer to the independent press. We
end in Frank Leslie's illustrated News
paper of July 18th elegantly engraved
portraits of Seymour and Blair. These
pictures make both the Presidential and
Vice Presidential candidates of tbe
Democratic party to present decidedly
gentlemanlike appearance and seeing
them SO well and pleasantly pictured
We received the notion that for certain
substantial reasons, Mr.. Leslie had con-
sented to make his paper IA Democratic
auxiliary during the present campaign;
but upon turning TO its remarks upon
the Democratic nomiuations we fad i,
talking 10 the following fashion
The Democratic party. after an animated
struggle, has nominated for its standar I'd
bearers Ex-Governor H"ratio Seymour and
General Frank Blair. The first Is a man of
fair average abilities, of thoroughly respect
able chara cter, and of line that has given
US number Of very worthy. if not very dis
public men. He has had noexpe
renee in public affairs outside of his State,
IN which he once rose 10 the rank of Gov
arnOr. This was during the war, and he
used his position To thwart and embarras,
-ather than aid the General Government, aud
was only restrained from active sympathy
With the rebellion by prudent regard for the
public temper. He addressed a mob of in
;endiarieS, aSsasSins and thieves in this CITY
IS his = friends" and propose! TINT the
reach between the South and the nation
should be healed by an acceptance, by the
whole country, of the Constitution of the So
allied Confederate States. He has never ut
cred a noble sentiment that an, body re
members; never originated a measure Of
public benetlcence or utility, and owes what |
,ver position he has reached entirely to the |
ntrigues and manlpulatlonS of party. He !,
las no traits of character to inspire attach !
nent or enthusiasm, and has no claim what
yer on the gratitude of his country men. |
lis nomination against man like Grant is
piece of presumption unparalleled in the |
history of politics.
General Frank Blair belongs to notorious
amily of place-hunters and indispensable
fhce- seekers, who, i'll their career, have been
every thing by turns, and nothing long"
lie has had some service in Congress, where

ervice in the field during the The ex-
ulson Of his brother from the Cabinet OF
President Lincoln, and his consequent with
rawal from his former political associations,
arried the General in the same direction,
nd for some years he has occupied the posi-
on of moroSe and queruluus outsider,
elonging TO no party, and sought by none.
