IN MEMORIAM.
From the Eureka Sentinel

When we say of a paper that it is in
dependent, we meal to say it Is not
afraid to do about right i'll the cauSe OF
public decency.
PUBLIC DECENCY
Is moving in New York city. and we,
even far away here in the rocks, APP
plaud the efforts the people there are
making against the ring: but we do
not imagine there is any ring for pub
lie corruption in Nevada. OF course
there is no
CORRUPTION IN NEVADA.
Next year-1S72-there will be a State
and Presidential elecIl0n; and that
election will bring out the members
of the Legislature, who Will be called
upon TO elect
\ UNITED STATES SENATOR;
but no money will be paid to secure
that position for
JAMES W. NYE;
because it is we'll known that when
ever a virtuous movement takes place
in this State. he is
Al THE BorTOM OF 1T.
Yet some of our elections of L. :. Sem
ator> in this State have been as cor
rupt, in issue. as the most putrld por-
ton of Patrick's patrImOny IN New
York.
SOME EAR AGO
the election of IL United States Sen
atOrS was a disgrace to a resp ctahle
hurdv gurdv house. In that election,
members of the Legislature-pretend-
ing to an honorable p0SItion-So!d
themselves for "A "beggarly denler' TO
the partizans OF
THAT BAD OLD MAN
whom Hon. Charles +. De Long as
saulted gallantlv: but alas. weak
kneed' my>teriou>Iv before The hour
of victory could reach him in lis race
around the dial plate.
Some of Us. plain citizens, remem
Der the trumpet-tOngued charges and
proofs sounded in our ears by the
Hon. Charles. and we have never been
able to find out whether De Long
went to Japan to varni>h the bright
paintings he made Of Nve's badness,
or whether Nve sen him there TO
keep him from souring on the public
stomach
IN SENT YEARS CAMPAIGN
We may. or we may not, get members
into the Legislature who will leave no
room for such men aSthe Hon. Charles
To wage a war on w~ickedness
And weaken in the breach
~ the ancient famous rahbit-dog
OF which some scriptures leach.
CHARLES +. DE LONG
is reported as coming home-tO die
once more for his COMMUNICATING
to be I. :. Senator; but We cannot
elect De Long, because he knows toe
much about Nve, and we cannot elect
I'VE because De Long knows too much
of Nve; and if we do not try to elect
one or the other of these men-li we
choke them both Otf-then the RepuD-
lican party Will be defeated, and that :
\ CALAMITY.
It seems a plain case, that if DeLone
and Nye do not quarrel, there will be
a heap of corruption covered up in the
Republican party in Nevada; and il
they do quarrel. the Republican party
NAV be defeated in Nevada.
IT Is \ FIX
which might be avoided if Nye would
retire into the shade of his many vir'
tues and lie down upon the shelf to
"Babble % green fields
And smile upon ; fingers ends
Or, if time were leftto him, Nye might
WRITE a BOOK,
and the title of such a book might b.
WHAT 1 KNOW ABOUT RUNNING A
SAWMILL,
and the book might be dedicated
:, my most sweet and clean friend, the
!. HON C. f. DE LONG, T.. ;. MINIsTEl
To JAPAN. ETC, ETC, ETC.
Such a course would lift a load from
the back Of the Republican party il
this State, and give the people, bot
; Republican and democrat. some ittl
/ hone of going into the campaign O
5 1872 with new men and apparently
| CLEAN HANDS.
: The Republicans ought to know tina
. the people are, a. q general rule, pref
> tv we'll satisfied that the Democrats j
lIS7O brought forward more than tn
average amount OF personal integrit.
i for office in Nevada. And both polit
/. zeal parties ought to be satisfied, b
the way the vote of 1876 WAS scattered
that u people are hunting for
THE BEST MEN,
without specia! regard to what CONVEX
tons may say. Give us men who's
integrity needs no explanation befor
is the people, and the people will vot
- for them, leaving the question of abb
itv t o be decided by the convention.
