LETTER FROM EASTERN NEVADA.

MIy DEAR FRBSD:-I saw your paper OF the
1lth inst, and cannot refrain from saying no"
mnchI an, gratified at your suggestive admonilonS
It Is certain that the Democratic party have 1t
within their power to regain the confidence Of
the people, and to again direct the affairs OF oor
nation This, however, II it now acts Win
promptitude and Judgment in the very beginning
of the campaign. To hesitate now will be fatal
The way is prepared, the time is in the highest
degree anspicious, and Horace Greeley is Just the
man whose nomination we can most cheerfully
ratify. The foundation of the Democratic party
rests upon the constitutional division OF power
between the general and the State governments,
together with the independence Of those co-ordi-
nate powers belonging alike to the one and the
other As a party it entertains no theory not
! fairly derived from these cardinal principles
| There is not a Democrat in oil the land but may
indorse the Cincinnati platform The one hobby
of Mr.. Greeley is left just where it should be,
with the the Congressional elections and
venture the opinion that the tariff will be in like
manner disposed OF by the Philadelphia and
baltimore Conventions. The Cincinnati move
ment is people S movement very similar in some
respects 10 the upHtUNdl NbINh "N'N"'~N WV -
mocracv in 1910, out Of which they made abun-
dent capital by the disappointment Of Mr.. Clay,
and the mismanagement generally of the Wing
party 1t docs seem important that the Democ-
racy should form the very center OF this move
ment; thu. the press should commit itself; that
the roople should not be urged to ''await pa
.ieptly the action Of the 9th OF July convention
| IL - ba 1oo The lreqyn
hopeful unless promptly appropriated may battle
and destroy the wisest calculations and perpetu-
ate dynasty odious to every lover of good gov
ernment "Wait wait, don't commit yourself,
is of all things most dangerous for if our leaders
have no sense, or refuse to be controlled by the
universal wish of the party,a political coup d etd'
may make Greeley the Philadelphia candidate
Force this nomination upon Baltimore; don't
leave the shadow of doubt about the highway
the people are iravling to thrust out the thieves
and the Democratic party may preserve its or
ganization and do work to glory over in all
time to come. The "old potatoe BLOSSOM, the
name by which his enemies seek to rdcule Mr.
Greeley, is after all the man to whom every
statesman, of whatever political stripe, has
looked to illuminate the gravest questions OF
national importance for n quarter Of a century.
He is indeed the great journalistic statesman,
the philanhropist, The very Franklin of our days.
One paper intimates that he is 'too innocent by
half for the Presidency" Too innocent? too
honest too capable also, may be! Holy Moses
do they want Grants thieves perpetuated? Grant,
whom Forney thinks entitled to another term to
! enable him to "cover." In his bid for a first
term, Grant sold shoH his $4,000 per annum,
life salary as general, and needs a second term
to "cover, being short in the first; see 1tdntic
Monthly for May Well, Greeley is honest and
is a patriot, if such an anomoly survives in our
day And we will rally round ti.c flag, rally all
around shouting the battle cry Of Greeley and Of
Brown. The Tribune, the libe and the organ
of each religious body was in all tho families of
the North-Wost and whatever other crotchcts
distinguished, the Tribune was an indispensable
to every well regulated house. Serve the Lord
as you will but to be intelligent you must read the
Tribapc. Tommy Hood lived in Placer, he may
live there now. for he was good enough to live
anywhere, hut Tor some reason he went rambling;
on his return asked him why he should leave
the eold fields Of Placer in search of better.
There You mistake; did not leave to huIt
! for gold, but 10 search some corner where the
Sa,rancntg thioa could not follow. | tried
Fraser and Carboo up North; went TO Mexico
and Japan, but the persevering cuss of Union
followed or lei the way, and now am back and
ieaewe my subscr ption; hope to see the last of
IT," What the Union is to the Pacific coast the
Tribune is to the Atlantic. For the sake of party
the Iribune never covered wrong nor screened
the evil doer
To conclude: if, rs some think, there
times when spontaneity separates all conditions
of bondage or duty to party, then this is the
time. If Washington and Lincoln were pr-eor-
dained to be Presidents by the spontaneous up
heaval of the people, so too is Horace Greeley
for party will have now, as heretofore, very little
to do in removing tho thieves and tyrants and
| inauguratng more economical era
In spite of al the tyrants say,
Greeley and Brown will win the day.
WHITE PINE.
