The Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1869-1872, 1870-09-07

How the court-Houss Ring Put the Screws on
the Country Precinets-
The Elkc Radical managers find it neces-
sary to again explain how it is that Elko is
entitled TO SO much greater representation in
the Radical County Convention than all the
balance Of the county. The last Chronicle
devotes hnlf-column to IN attempt to e1-
plain the mystery. That the editor of the
Chronicle recognized his own weakness
in this effort, is apparent in the fact that
in the same issue he felt it necessary to
remove the list of apportionment of delegates
from his paper. The proceedings of the Gem
trail Committee are not to be found in Sun
days issue. The Court-Hou ring has fixed
up machine for regulating the convention
after its own style. OF the Sc delegates 10
the convention, within fraction of one-auar-
ter are from the town of Elko. If that appor-
tionment is founded on the uotes which that
vember, the country precincts are sold very
cheap. The Republicans can not poll over
125 votes in this town. If that is one-fourth
of the entire Radical vote of the county. az il
should be If this apportionment is correct,
the total Radical strength of the party in Elko
county is about 500. If that is all they ex-
pect to poll this Fall they might as well dis
band at once, for there will be no use for ap.
portionments, delegates, conventions, or can
didates, at those figures. The Democratic
ticket will poll 800 votes, at least, and posi-
bly, 900.
1t is usually presumed that representation
is based upon votes. If about 125 voters in
Elko county are entitled to IS delegates what
sort of party have they got in the country,
whose precincts are given one or two dele
gates2 What sort of Republican party ex-
lists at Cope with eight delegates, or at Miner
al Hill with three delegates? Elko has del
egate really for every ten Republican voters.
At that rate the Radical party must have n
nominal existence in most of the country
precincts.
1t is clear to the dullest comprehension
that the Court House ring has put up a Job
Of stupendous dimensions on the country pre-
cincts. The convention Is theirs, and they
intend to run 1t ut whatever cost. The pub
lie can judge of the utter recklessness of the
Radical county leaders when they discover that
Elko, under their thumb, Is given one dele
gate to every ten voters, and the balance OF
the county ono delegate to every 25 voters. II
the Radical managers imagine they have over
500 voters in the county their trickery ia ex.
posed by this apportionment. If they do not
have over 800 they can not hope to carry the
election. They can take either horn of the
dilemma.

ELKo DIsPATcHEs.-If the telegraphic news
generally is not more correct than the dis
patches sent from this place to Virginia City
and California, relative to the County Con-
vention, they are not of much value. We
would recommend the readers Of those jour
nails not to place religious reliance on Elko
dispatches. We find in the Enterprise one Of
these fabrications, declaring that resolution
woul6 be introduced into the convention re-
quiring the County Assessor to tax the rail
road at the rate of $4,000 per mile. and reg
ulating the tariff on tue railroad; and that
they would probably be adopted. 1t is hard
ly necessary for us to say that this and all
other dispatches relative to the intentions of
members or their acts, the preferences of the
State delegates for officers, and the nomination
OF School superintendent, have no founda-
ton whatever. They were purely imagna-
tive, and only illustrate the impossibility of a
Republican to tell the truth about anything.

edged no equal as y military power.
Conjectures are idle in the presence of such

comes the tug Of war" With new men Mt the
head Of its army, France will mako it's last
desperate effort. Gen. Trochu, II equal to
the emergency, may prove another Napoleon
the First, and in his turn become the founder
of a dynasty. The republic can not exist but
in name while this struggle for nationality
goes on. A military dictatorship is inevitable.
The revolution, though peseeablc. is hut the
of another cycle OF revolutions. in
which the young men Of the nation will be

The RADICAL ORoAxs.-Ths Reese River
Reveille, having been found too orthodox in
its Republication to suit the entity purposes
Of the Radical trimmers who are striving for
nominations, II is reported. has beenlsubjected
to the chemical action of sundry twenty-dol-
lar pieces, and under the management Of q
new editor, B. ]. Burns. will be run as a cam
paign paper hereafter. Mr.. Burns is said to
be good writer. and doubtless the Reveille
will spread itself on the widest wings of the
imagination.
The Radical politicians clearly have pro-
per appreciation of the local press through
the State, and are sparing no necessary cash
to bring and to keep in the political field a
corps Of able local newspapers. To say moth
ing Of the papers on the Comstock, and the
Carson Appeal. supported by State patronage,
the Chronicle of Elko, the Register of Hum
boldt, and the Reveille of Lander, are illus
trations Of the systematic attempts of the
Radical leaders to blind the public to their
record and rottenness by classifying every chan
mel to the eye or ear of the people. But all
the newspapers and speakers in the State
can neither restore the defalcations in the
State Treasury nor pay the debts which are
heavily weighing down the counties. The
present wretched condition of business in
every branch of industry is fact which can
not be wiped out nor ignored. 1t speaks
louder than any tongue or pen.
