our opinion has greater elements Of popular

IN the State-Hoc- Geo. G. Berry, of Hum

Judge Berry has now served three years
with ability and great credit to himself as Judge
Of the Fifth Judicial District He is gen.

IN All his habits, possesses q sound legal mind,
large and liberal viers, is q man Of great
practical sense, and man of great natural
and acquired abilities- He sustAins an enyi-
able reputation for strict integrity. In him
are combined all the elements so essential in
the Chief Executive officer Of the State. He
has never been before the party for State Of
nee, and has never been mixed in any cliaues
or combinations that may have heretofore eI-
listed In the party. Allelements cab unite on
him freely, If nominated for our chief stand

victory against the combined forces of the en-
envy. be came to the Pacific coast among
the hrst Of the old pioneers, and has made
Nevada his home for the last eight years His
interests are all here, and he is thoroughly
OF our young and prospering State. .....
Aside from his high qualifications, the Office
seeks the man as the most available His
nomination will be equivalent TO an election
We take great pleasure in presenting his name
to the Democrats throughout the State for the
position designated, feeling, as we do, that If
his name IS placed At the head of the ticket
victory will perch upon our banners in splen-
dor and glory, only equaled by those achieved
by the Democracy Of California in 1863

Tie foregoing Endorsement will meet with
public approval wherever Judge Berry is
known; and his long residence in this State
and the prominent position he occupies has
not limited that acquaintance to any particu-
lar section. The names of several worthy
and distinguished gentlemen have been men
toned In connection with the Democratic
nomination for the Goyernorship, under
whose championship the Democracy Of Neya-
dA would enter into the contest with courage
and faith Among those names, that Of George
q. Berry. Judge of the Fifth Judicial Dis
trict, for many influential considerations, il
justly entitled TO prominent place.
The result OF the next State election will
undoubtedly depend upon judieious selec-
ton Of Democratic candidate st the head Of
the ticket II that nomination be made with
prudence and sagAcity, and a candidate placed
In the held whose past record is clear, whose
reputation. personal and official, is unsullied,
who can consolidate the entire anti-radical, con-
sentative elements Of the State into one solid
enthusiastic phalanr, victory is certain. The
Democracy has only to make the effort with
unanimity and determined resolution 10 win
the Eight. The voters are here, but they have
got to be aroused, encouraged. organized, in
spired With faith and hope. To accomplish
this, allpurely personal animosities should be
ignored, eliques and factions buried in the
dead past which gave them birth. The party
has TO be organized throughout the State with
regard TO Jatur. action, live, rigorous action,
untrammeled by dead issues, chilled by no fac
tous opposition within its own ranks engen-
dered by local or personal envy or ancient
hAtreds. He who can most effectraIly accom-
phsh this consolidation and inspire a united
and enthusiastic party, is the man who ought
70 receive the nomination.
Judge Berry's advantages in this respect
are very favorable. With natural ability of
the highest order he unites a sound under
standing q clear, cool judgment, which in
stinctiSely leads him to safe and correct con-
illusions. As jurist, he has maintained rep
utation for learning and ability eIcelled GER
tainly By none Of his compeers on the bench;
and no itigant has ever had cause to doubt
his imPartiality or integrity. During the
political contests Of former years, he proved a
steadfsst champion Of Democratic principles
and especially of the rights and interests of
free labor against the debasing influences Of
coolie importations. As distinguished
representative OF the cause of free. white
laboring men, he could bring to the sup
port Of the ticket powerful political ele-
ment Of this State which has hitherto
worked with the Republican organization
While, however Judge Berry has taken an
active part with his political associates during
the past years, he was more fortunate in one
respect than many others entertaining similar
views. He has not been brought so much
into that direct personal antagonism with men
OF his own party, creating those personal en-
mites growing ont of the conflict Of cliaues
and factions. He occupies on independent DO.
