Among that respectable body of mel
who came to represent their conStitu'
ents in the Union Republican State
Convention, which met in Elko, Sep
TENDER 81, were many old-time &C
auaintances and friends whom We
knew elsewhere years and years ago,
or these we may mention j. j. Dunno,
of Humboldt /; J. a. Blossom and G,
Il. Terry, Of Lander; VI. A. Murphy,
of Esmeralda . John b. Best, Of Lin
coin; d. o. Addison, f. Patten, f,
Rahling and John p. Jones, Of Storey;
A. ID. rreadway, Of Ormsby, and ID,
II. Jackson, Of White Pine. These
names are not selected rs mine owners
assert quartz for assay. with referenc,
to their fine quality for richness and
superiority over the great body Of
good ore, but as average samples, and
because we recognize them and know
them to contain the true metal. We
might have chosen several much more
handsome specimens for n cabinet oil
show-window, and doubtless some
rougher and less comely that would
pan out equally well, but we prcSen,
those we know rs All average, and defy
any organization in any State to excel
them in any or all the true qualitica-
tons Of perfect manhood.
The Hdependea. assumes to itself a
great deal of cunning In having
guessed who would be the principal
candidates nominated by the Repu6li-
Tan State Convention, whereas in truth
it only proves that persons of the most
ordinary understanding and limited
perception, could select the most fit
and popular men in the State as likely
to receive tho saffrages Of the people.
1t will hardly be contended that any
black-and-tan ring, bank ring or other
respectable ring Of any kind had taken
the slate-maker of the Independent into
their confidence. Therefore. it only
proves the grea. popularity of our can
dates that u person of the commonest
capacity was able to point befo, Z hard
to the coming men. Who but 4 ninny
would claim any credit for prophecy
ing. even now, that General Grant
will be elected President again in
1872
We acknowledge the corn. The IN
dependent has made 4 point ut last.
The Democratic Convention did not
quite drink up all the whisky in town.
But let it be understood that the Re
publicans who disgraced themselves by
getting beastly drunk. did so as print
ers and publishers, and pot rs Repub-
licans and delegates. II is no part of
the duty OF n Republican delegate to
get drunk, while 1t appears to be an
inseparable accompaniment to the pro-
fession Of printer. The drunkards III
the Republican Convention exceeded
the Instructions Of the "ring." The
drunkarls In the Democratic Conven-
ton were not printers, and therefore
had no excuse but Democracy for their
beastliness.
rAs the publisher Of the Gold Hill
News attended the Convention, among
others Of the Nevada Press, he asks to
be exempted from the inebriated
"ring" who made the nights hideous
at Elko. He never gets drunk
