REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE8
FOR GOVERNOR.
From the Carson Appeal,


These three candidates are, Mr.. F.
A. Tritle, of Virginia City Mr.. Jas.
w. Haines, of Douglas County, and
Mr.. c. G. Batterman, of Storey County.
They are all good, square men, and for
that reason their status should not be
mlsrepresented. ..
Mr.. Tritle has twice been a member
of our State Senate. During the last
session of that body he cast hfs vote for
the ratification Of the Fifteenth Amend
ment. He was formerly o mining su-
perintendent In Virginia City. He Is
now, we believe, part owner Of n mill
In that city, and Is also a stakeholder
In the v. 4 Il. R. R. He Is a man OF
fine presence, an original Republican
and a thoroughly honorable man. He
Is mallciously and falsely accused OF
being a Bank man," He Is no mans
man no corporations man, and be-
longs to no combination except that
combination of principles known as
Black Republicanism.
Hon. James w. Haines was also q
member of the last Senate I; and, like
Mr.. Tritle, cast his vote for the Fiji
teenth Amendment. He Is rs upright
n man rs ever lived and would, If
placed in the Governors chair, do
honor to the State. He has also been
the subject of lies manufactured by the
anti Bankers. He Is a better man than
any one who traduces him, earns his
own living, pays his debts, and lives
up to the most advanced principles OF
Republicanism.
Hon. c. c. Batterman, like Mr.. Trl-
tie, has long been connected with min
ing operations in Storey County. He
was, Mt one time, superintendent OF
the Crown Point mine. He was de.
prived of that position by the efforts OF
Mr.. VIM. Sharon. Of the Bank of CAL
ifornia. He afterwards opened a
brokerage establishment in Virginia
City. He still maintains 1t. He was
appointed by Governor Blasdel to sue
coed the late Mr.. Rhoadcs rs State
Treasurer. Some few months since lie
was appointed, through the personal
efforts of Mr.. Sharon-(who, no doubt,
thought thereby to make reparation fol
the injustice he had inflicted upon Mr.
Batterman by causing his removal from
the Crown Point)-to the position OIL
Superintendent of the Gould & Curry
mine. lie holds this position now,
This mine Is controlled by the Bank Of
California the house in which MIR,
Batterman resides as Superintendent
of that mine, belongs to that corpora.
ton ; his private Secretary, Mr.. Storer.
Is one of the attaches Of the Bank, and
the very horses which MI. Batterman
drives belong to the concern Of which
Mr.. Sharon is the agent in Nevada.
All these facts make Mr.. Batterman
none the less eligible to the Office Of
Governor /; but they are strange facts
to be presented concerning a man. who
Is willing to have his name used as an
"anti- Bank man."
Mr.. Batterman was not n member Of
the Legislature which ratified the Fiji
tecnth Amendment. Had he been lie
would, not improbably, have voted fol-
It. But we have some right to judge
Of q man By his associates and whei
we see Mr.. Batterman so strongly adj
vocated by Hon. Chauncey Notewart
and Hon. Robert NJ. Clarke, both o.
whom are known to have been opposed
to the passage Of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, may we not suspect Mr.. Batter
mans s%oundness? Be this as 1t may,
let us make every man show his true
colors.
