The Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1865-1870, 1868-06-24
SOMETHING OF POLITICS,

there are times when we feel that ",
may, with propriety, say something. il
a general way, concerning the grea
issues that are before the country. ",
have already alluded to the fact tha
Grant and Colfax have been nonina
ted By the Black Republicans why
may We not, with equal good taste
as an independent journalist, allude to
what has not been done by " the great
Democratic party ?" What has no,
been done is subject for impartial
conjecture-if we may use The phrase
and We like to indulge our propensity
for guessing. Let US guess then tina,
Pendleton will fai! to receive a two
third vote in the July Convention
that Seymour will be taken at his
word and left out of the programme (;
that hancock will be Indignantly re-
jected as a /" butcher and that
Chase will come in like Holmes poul-
tice of silence to " heal the blows Of
sound Chase, We are told, labors
under presentiment that be will one
day be the President of the United
States. Presentiments are awful things
sometimes. Sometimes they mislead.
Often they are mistaken for monomanla
of q mild type-President on the brain,
for instance. But if Chase had actu-
ally bought up the New York Herald,
which he is, of course, too hi h toned
to do, or if he had been bought him
self by Democratic promises, his prom
inence as candidate for Democratic
honors could not be greater. We pic
ture him standing a. the door Of Tam
many Hall with nice, clean little dar-
key under his arm, bowiug and scrap
ing to the assembled medley Of War
Democrats, Peace Democrats and Reb-
els siSnifying his willingness 10 come
in if he can only be allowed to bring
his little charge with him. We see q
little band of consistent Pendletonians
sitting under banner bearing that
strange device, i" A " bite mans Gov
ernment' blazoned upon it; vehem-
entity denying entrance and fellow
ship to the Chief Justice );
We see the rebels scowling ard !
against the author of the
decision that no confederate debt is
lawful and We see the congregated
aud place hunters, bearing
lloftr . patched up creed from the
Chicago Platform of 1864 declaring
heir principles to be " Office at any
Price" beckoning Mr.. Chase to "come
n" niger and all. We cannot look
'eyond. Dim visions of q split in the
anks are obscured by irrepressible rec
'llecGoas of the capacity of the great
Inwashed for swallowing everything
nd anything that gets place on the
democratic: ticket; and We confess our
inability to peer through the veil. Per-
APPS, however, our Democratic friends
,esn to resort to the playful expedi-
Mt of sailing under false colors. 1t
,ay be that they propose to steal the
hunder- which they have so vehemently
eclsimed against. Maybe they are
Ding to surrender to the black letter
,gic of the times. The Senatorial Z
'ystery in Storey county is nothing to
hat is to be developed at the Fourth
{ July Convention. 1t may be that
asse and Pendleton will walk into old
or Tammany reconstructed, ="
Ither, arm in arm, loving and beloved.
