VITAL QUESTIONS.

clip from an able editorial Of the 18th
inst:
..Aitsr 90 shamsfully treating the best
Representative Nevada ever had in Con-
grsss, they had the face to ask him to
q stand in" with them. and support the
party that had cruciisd him. He 10

will be felt at the election. Kendall is
not opposing the party. as a party. but
he 10 exposing the hypocrisy and vii
lainy Of the knAvss who have usurped its
leadership in the State. This is right,
and We believe the people, the taxpayers
Of the State will give him a patient hear
ing. and will consider. fer their in
t~srssts. what he has to say. The old
cry that whoever opposes these i'm
maculats politicians are bought By Mr..
Sharon's geld, 10 entirely too thin"
II will not co down. Besides, even 1t
were no, we can sse no difference, IN
principle, Of being bought by Sharon's
gold. or by Tom Williams or sslig-
mana"
There are two or three propositions.
in the language OF the Register, each Of
which 10 true. Kendall has made the
best public record Of any Nevada Con-
grsssmAn. And We may add right here
that the Democratic party has not hssi-
tAisd 10 take advantage Of this fact and
make great capital thsrsfrom. His
elections tive and four years since were
trumpetsd n Democratic victories Of
signal Significance, Nevada being a Re-
publican State and the Office Of Con-
gresham bsing one OF National import
ance. It was even claimed that Ken
dall's majority showed the true Demo-
cratic strength in the State. and thatthe
Republican victory h erery Other State
Office two years since was due to the
great number OF Democrats who
.'sloughed of" from the party and re-
fused to vote for Greeley. The Demo-
cratic party has never been accused OF
modssty, particularly that portion of it
born south Of Mason and DiIon's line,
and which demanded and exsctsd for a
score Of years preceding the rebsllion
the eonplsts and absolute subsection Of
its Northsr, members. That element
has coolly assumed. and with the ut
most nonehalanes srrogated to itself all
the credit which Mr.. Ksndall's course
in Congress conferred upon the party.
until grown insolsnt thereat and tunid
with . great sense Of the Importance
IL thus acquired. il event back" on the
Northern ~''msdsills' (who have given
IL whatever responsibility it has to
beast off, and set itself up IS the only
fitting representative Of the party in
Nevada. "ws arc gentlemen, sahi'
say these lordlings, srst Of the yellow
clay felds Of Missouri and red mud OF
Virginia. and AZ such only fit to rule
you" And tursid with importance
thus borrowsd,if not stolen, they put on
airs and ~ostracise the best men OF the
Democratic party.
And now these "ehivs.." with shiver-
ing and ill-concsalsd alright, cry out
that Kendall |. an apostats, a Judas,
and has betrayed his party. BAH What
is the Democratic party in Nevadai l'
IL composed OF none but Tom Williams.
A. @. Ellis and Kittrelll These and
these only were the men whom Kendall
criticised. Is its platform composed
but Of . single plank Does the ssv-
snth resolution express the views OF the
Democratic party in Nevada 2 We hardly
think 90. II IL does, the party has moi
q plank to stand upon, for this was the
sole one which Kendall criticised. and
OF which he made 90 dire . wreck. Ken
dali made no war upon tho Democratic
party as a party. He eulogizsd such Of
its nominees as he thought worthy. and
scarifsd the others as parties to 4
despicabls alliance with an ad~vsntursr
He bored q hole through n Of its poor
planks. but left the rest as sound a,
when put in the platform. He seorned
alliance with Sutro and his most infa'
nous stipendiAriss. and sPurnsd the
men and managers who would degrade
the Democratic party BY such a base and
most degrading eomPrsmiss.
Talk about the Democracy being stul'
tilted BY endorsing Greeley two years
since, and then think Of its sndersins
sutro And yet this is the false posi-
ten in which Tom Williams 4 Co. at
tempted to place the Democratic party
and this 10 the "party" to which Ken
dali has turned traitor. He is just that
kind OF . Judas who would not hesi-
tate ct any personal risk or sacrifice to
preserve his wi and psrty's honor.
The Democratic party needs more Of
just sash men. as indeed does the ma
ton. Had the Democratic party been
controlled by such in 1850. there would
have been nd war. The bunch Of South

smaller scale, not only as to numbers,
but also - to brains and breeding. in

. base conspiracy, not q whit less
Infamous though far more degrading
than that projected by the high chivs''
OF the South in 1860. The fact tina.
these are "iow chivs" may add to his
disgust. II would 10 ours.
The taxpayers OF Storey county are
deeply interested in Mr.. Ksndall's
action and the charges he has made.
They have al yet seen no denial Of their
truth. They viii see none. The charge
