TIE WORK OF THE STATE CON.
VENTTON.

Those who went to Reno hoping tina
, Hon. James F. Lewis would be nomina
ted for continuance upon the Suprem,
Bench were destined to return home dis
appointed of their preference; and it 81
turns out that his very useful and honor
able eight years of service rs one of the
learned body to which he belongs will h
brought to an abrupt termination on the
First Of January next. We need not say
that we are sorry for this result and that
We join our expressions of regret with
those of his friends who deplore the Sc
mes of occurrences which made his defeat
a possibility. There is this much of con-
ISOLATION to his supporters: He had as
earnest and true friends working for him
at Reno as ever stood by any man; and
we will add this much more: 1t is our
strong conviction that the Storey delega-
ton did all that any body Of men not e1-
pressly selected as Lewis partizans could
have been expected to do for him. Tits
of our knowledge that they not only cast
eighteen of their nineteen votes for him,
but they strove very hard to get the other
the nineteenth-for him. Moreover,
we are satisfied that no convention has
ever been held in this State whose pro-
ceedmgs were fairer and whose nomina-
tons were more honestly put in the
field. We say this while feeling very
decided sense of disappointment over
Lewis defeat and while fully conscious of
the fact that our side of the party has had
We believe in Republican principles and
intend to remain loyal to the require
ments of party discipline We propose to
stand by the results of our party's action;
for while we hold and maintain that the
least of those who rallied to the bugle
call which summoned patriotism to the
defence of the Union was better and truer
and more worthy of reward and honor
than the most illustrious n1agnate of the
SOnCOCAnSy VI elAC O1oNCSt ACDCA WIZ
ever swore by the stars and bars, so do
we say that any man whose Republican
ism is undoubted and who gets a nomin-
alton at the hands of the Republican
party or its representatives, is infinitely
the superior in all the considerations
which should influence the Republican
voter than any man, no matter how pop
ular or personally admirable he may be,
who upholds the Democratic party or &C
cepts nomination at its hands; and this
leads us to say: That we regard Mr..
Hawley as quite as much entitled to re-
ceive a nomination at the hands OF a
Republican convention as any man; that |
he was fairly nominated; that he is emit
tied to the vote of every Republican in
the State of Nevada and that he ought to
be and, as we hope and believe, will be
elected. We have several reasons for
putting this as we have: and among
them is the right, as we hold it, for any
honest gentleman to aspire to the higher
honors in the gift of his party; the belief
that even old and valued services do not
give any man more rights to the party's
favor than another; and that nothing
should or can excuse such action'as char
acterized those of the minority of the
party who bolted its nominations two
years ago. All of which is said here in
order that there never may be any Just
made against our firm and I'M
loyalty to this party even though
Dur hopes and aspirations may have been
disappointed and ignored. Two years
100 Mr.. Tritle and his associates on the
ticket had a right to the support which
vas withheld from them Let no man
Who voted for him two yearsago fall down
nany Republican nominee of the present
rear. 1t is, as We firmly believe, the best
violence of sound and courageous pc! ii
al manhood when those of the defeated
minority stand squarely and cheerfully by
he ticket which has been nominated de-
pite their efforts in an opposite di-
ection
And now, lest we should seem to damn
With faint praise the nominees in whose
behalf we plead, let us say: That there is
