Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1874-09-06
Mr.. sCrRO'S

displayed his pictures last night TO a
numerous assemblage. composed OF
miners and citizens, who were some
what instructed, partly entertained and
wholly amused by the subject
matter Of his lecture and the
manner of its delivery. The alb
surdity of the whole affair is
what most forcibly impresses Us. We
can remember the time when the Of
flee Of Senator of the United States
was held to DO the most dignified in
the gift of the people Of any State;
when a gentleman whose name was
mentioned in connection with that po-
sition of trust and honor would have
held himself degraded by any at
tempt on his own part to Sc
cure his own election. We have, to
be sure, fallen upon worse times. Can
didates for Senator now openly an
nounce themselves as such, and OPEN
" canvass the State to secure their
W election; the Office no longer seeks
the man, but the man the office; but
IN all our O. experience and it is not linz
ited) this is the first time we have ever
known a mar aspiring TO that office 10
canvass the State Of his adoption in a
painted wagon. accompanied by a band
Of music and summoningi the people by
sound of bell TO a magic lantern raree
show. There is nothing wanting to
complete the ridiculosity there Sh1K'd
be such a word Of the entire proceed
ing, save 4 hand-orsan and 4 monkey
in a red jacket.
We have said that MFR. Sutro's lee
tuer was instructive and amusing. 1t
was instructive in explaining and ex-
hibiting the views of a maj of intel
ligence on a subject of great practical
importance to the consideration and
advancement OF which he has
devoted the last ten years of
his life. Il was amusing, part
~ by reason Of the natural and
legitimate humorof the man. but prin-
eipally because Of the semi English
harlequinades with which his speech
was garnished and the stereoptical
views illustrating them. But as q plea
for Adolph Sutro to represent the
State Of Nevada in the United States
Senate it was a most comple.e and Ia
mentable failure. We, as 4 Demo
crat, can take no interest in the inferno
cine struggle between MessrS. Sharon
and Sutro for the control Of the APP
preaching Senatorial election. As a
citizen of Nevada we can but look up
on the entire contest between those
two men as a struggle between
two actual monopOlias, for q
further extension Of priyil ccs.
and tor the securing of national
legislation furthering their moneyed
interests at the expense Of the tax
payers and laboring men of this Safe.
We ~rerrobate them both; but Mr..
Sutro, individually, has utterly failed
to make out a cast for himself. II
cannot be that Mr.. Sutro bases his as
pirations TO 50 eminent a position upon
his e~loqucnce, upon his refined Eng
lish or upon his Acquaintance with
public affairs. His sole claim to con
sheraton is his connection with
the Sutro tunnel project, and, ac-
eording to his own statement, that
project stands now firmly secured O
success without requiring further Gov
eminent aid, and beyond the reach %
further assaults at the hands of wha'
he is pleased to denominate the
Bank Ring.
Mr.. SutrO was pleased to make some
remarks personal to ourself. Those
we dismiss as untrue and unworthy o
reply, and Mr.. Sutro we dismiss, char
acterizing him as a Snowman a sue
cess, but az an aspirant for poliiica
preferment a fraud upon himself anC
upon the public; an ~uncducated MAI
unable to speak correctly the language
Of the people OF his adoption; a ma
of one idea, whose mind has tor tel
years been 50 confined and trained
within certain bounds that it Of neces-
sity can exercise no freedom or intel
ligence outside thereof; above all. as
dishonest man, who, under the pre-
tense of assisting the miners and la
borers of this State. is really striving
to secure for himself and associates a
monopoly more odious and oppressive
TO the productive classes than the Cen
trail Pacific itself.
