THE OPPOSING CANDIDATES
RoR sUPRRME JUDGE.

A -
We desire the attention Of our read
era for n few moments while we let
Them know the relative standing, po-
iitically. of j. S. Slauson, the Repub-
lican Candidate for Justice OF the Su-
nreme Court, and John CARRIER, the
gentleman whom the Democracy have
Raced I'm nomination for that position.
And while we are about II, we Will
briefly inform our readers OF the course
of education, study and practice by
which Mr.. Slauson has fitted himself
for the place to which lie aspires. He
was for three years q student OF Judge
wilkins. n Of the ablest lawyers Of
New York; and lie subsequently at
tended lectures at the Poughkeepsie
law school, from whence he graduated
ot the head of a class of one hundred
and eighty students. Mr.. Slauson fol-
lowed up this brilliant achievement by
nine years Of highly successful prac-
tice in the city of New York. He
came from there to Nevada In 1853,
md since that time has been mainly
engaged in mining although for a
wear or two he was employed In the
active practice of his profession rs a
partner with Hon. c. z. belong and
Thomas Wren, Esq, of White Pine
County.
AS to Mr.. Slauson's political princi-
pies we need only to say that he Is an
old time Republican, true and tried;
and that he with voice and pen and
acts and money has been strenuous in
his efforts for the success Of the princl-
pies and candidates of the Republican
party. 1t strikes us that his Is such q
personal and political record US Mr..
Slauson and the party whose nominee
he Is may very justly be proud OF.
Mr.. John CARRIER has the reputation
of being n lawyer of much ability.
We should be doing ourself and him
an injustice were we to shy less Of him,
professionally. But while we are quite
willing to do Mr.. CARRIER exact justice
in this regard, we should he delinquent
In our political duties were we to stop
short of q word or two regarding his
record. Mr.. CARRIER Is Southern man
by birth, n Democrat now and during
the war of the rebellion. n most bitter
and uncompromising secessionlst. We
have it upon the authority of A. A.
Sargent that CARRIER declined to vote
during the war times, saying, rs many
men OF his way Of thinking were In
the habit Of saying: ~ have 10 colin-
try now; and therefore no more inter-
est in popular elections" This Is the
way that hundreds Of stay-at-home
rebels used to talk; and now that the
"perpetuity of the Union" has been
beaten into them BY the force of YAM
kee arms, CARRIER and his fellow office
seeking rebels have finally come to the
conclusion that II they have not a
country which they can call their own,
they are at least In a country which
owns them ; and that, being In such a
plight, they must be placed In the high
position Of power and authority. W.
differ with these subjugated gentlemen.
We believe that the Republicans Of
this State also differ With them; and
that when the day Of voting arrives
Mr.. CARRIER and his associates upon the
Democratic ticket will come TO be con-
WINGED that a country which was not,
In their estimation, good enough for
them to acknowledge as their own In
the yeas Of the war, Is too good to DO
subjected to the humiliation. of their
rule, now that the war Is over, and the
Southern Confederacy Is known only
rs one of the fitful things of the past.
