The CAUSE IN LANDER CoUNTY.-The
Eureka Sentinel says there are registered
at the following precincts, Eureka, 1926;
Ruby Hill, 20: Spring Valley, A; Secret
Canyon, 4; McGeary & Sayles's Station,
10: and sums up the political aspect of
Lander county in these words:
We have no desire to deceive the
friends of the Liberal cause in any part
Of the State. In all candor, then, We can
sly that, according to the estimates of
careful canvassers, the above named pre-
cincts show beyond all peradvepture a
Liberal majority of not less than 225.
The remainder of the county may be con-
tidently relied upon to swell the majority
of the party to fully 300 on the straight
ticket This we consider most crafty
ing condition of affairs, demonstrating,
as it certainly does, that Lander is des-
tined to maintain its place as the banner
Democratic equity of the State.

How Can Democrats Vote?

Congress has passed law authorlH-
ing the employment Of the standing
army at the polls in the most impor-
tant elections President Grant APP
proved of the law. No Democrat can
vote for the party or its candidate,
who made such law,
Congress has passed n law authoriz-
ing the President to declare martial
law over any State on the request Of a
few citizens-his adhercnts and de-
pendents, if you please, President
Grant approved of this law, which is
the opposite Of free government No
Democrat can support the party and
the President who made the law
The President has placed hired sold
iers Of the federal government over
populous portions Of free State. He
has ruled the people by the sword. A
peaceable and respectable citizen Of
Chicago was shot dead under Grants
military rule. 1t was murder. But
the crime was not punished. What
act more dangerous to the liberties Of
the people than this? No Democrat
can vote for the President who usurps
and exercises powers so dangerous
The radical party favor a more
centralized government, Senator Nor
ton has been put forward to advocate
it in public lectures. Congress has as
sumed the right to legislate for and
control the public schools, the tele-
graph, the railroads, and to place the
army over the ballot boxes. The
President assumes the right to suspend
ali State lars when he deems it best.
No Democrat can vote for such a can
didate or such q party--for their doc
trines are in violation Of free govern
ment and constitutional principles up
on which the Democratic and Liberal
party is founded.
In Connecticut the Radical party
has legislated to embarrass free bal
lot. 1t has passed laws to prevent
naturalization, by making it unlawful
for a court in one county to naturaIize
a resident OF an adjoining county; and
by DISTINGUISHING naturaized citizens
who have lost their papers, though
they have voted for years, and have
the evidence Of a hundred of the best
citizens that they have been naturaized
No Democrat can vote for such party,
for it is a party that violates the prin
ciples Of freedom and free government
which contro! the organization of the
Democratic party.
But DemOcra caR consistently vote
for HORACE GREEl4Y. who demands
civil government in the place of mil
itary rule who protests against cor
ruption, and asks for local selfgoyern-
ment, and the equal rights of the pco-
pie and the States, with true Union
supported by 4 people friendly with
each other, living in peace and har-
mony, without mconsti uional dicta
ton and military OPPRESSION Demo
Gratis and Liberals can consistently
support Mr.. Greeley, who is The advo-
cate and leader Of these views, which
are in harmony with a free constitu-
tional government.

The Question of the Campaign
Victory Already Gained.

vlCluIl HiOouy Oo'IOu'
The question in the present politi-
cal campaign is not as to the amount
of punishment the late rebels have
received, or Me to received in
future. 1t is mdeniable that
the Government has shown wond-
erfal clemency History furnishes no
precedent of such clemency, Look at
France to-day with its continued exc
cutions Of political criminals. Every
rebellion in England which was un-
,uccessful had its troops OF victims,
treason being the highest crime known
to the law in every country. In our
country not one criminal has died for
the rebellion. There were cases of
excessive cruelty, Of conspiracy and
assassination tried and punished but
Jeff. Davis, the leader and representa-
tive of the greatest rebellion ever
known, pursues his private business
unmolested. Nobody has suffered the
penalty of treason. This Iomency is q
departure from all presidents, put we
believe that is wise one. No exc
cutions Of individuals could make the
rebellion more odious than its utter
defeat. They would only have sery-
ed to make martyrs, and thus prolong
the memories Of the Lost Cause"
The Government recognized the fact
that we must live together as country
men in its early course on the ques-
ton ofreconstruction, and it showed
more willingness to give back their
rights to the conquered rebels than
they displayed grace to receive, The
later acts Of the Government have been
sevcrer against the South, but this is
not the question to-day, tits not the
special relief Of the South from the
acts of the general Government that
is sought, but the relief of the whole
country from the decentralization, the
Capitalization and the corruption which
resulted from the war-the era Of great
expenditures-and which now per-
vades every department Of the Govern
ment The issues which divided part
les before the war, and sections and
armies during the war, are settled.
The old parties no longer represent
living issues, and the time has come
to draw new party lines on real qnes-
tons Of vital importance. The pres
ent campaign is in one sense prelimin.
ary. 1t will settle the question wheth
er we are willing to 'let the dead past
bury its dead and attend to the press
inc issues now before Us. 1t will ma
turally leave political parties in a
chaotic condition, but out Of this chaos
will come the parties Of the future
A great victory is already gained in
obtaining from the Democratic party
and the South an acceptance in full
of the result ofthe war. They can
never withdraw from that advanced
position. mat was all tlat was re-
quirel to settle forever the old issues,
and that is accomplished. Wereioica
in this triumph, while eager partisans
are awaiting the result of the general
election to see whether they will have
something to cheer about. And be-
lieving that the old Issue are forever
settled, left it not be understood that
we condemn the Republican party,
which has completed its work and
commanded the acqruescence Of the
nation. We simply pass on to new
conquests in full faith that the right
will preyail.-BoSton Hcrold
