ANOTHER GLORIOUS VICTORY.
The Elko Ladep>ndent. a staunch
Bradley organ. and peculiarly represent
ing the Bourbon ring Of Nevada Dsmoc-
rscy, comes out In its issue Of Saturday
last in strong and hopeful language re-
spsctins the prospects Of the Democracy
in Nevada. II says:
Although the party 10 now divided on
the question Of who shall be the nomi-
nss for Governor. that difference will
soon Be settled. and after the Demo-
cratic State Convention is held the dif-
fsrent factions will unite on the man
who receives the preference and make
q strong harmonious fight, having only
in view the achieving Of another glori-
Gus victory in Nevada this fall.
We call attention to this language for
two reasons. First, because it substan-
tiates our assertion made some weeks
since. that. Notwithstanding the bitter
rivalry now existing in Democratic cir
cles between the several candidates for
tie Gubsrnatorial chair in Nevada, there
il not the slightest hope that there will
be any split in the Democratic ranks.
From FIRST to last the Democracy Of Ne
vada have stood united on election day.
No representative Democrats have dur
ing the present summer signiied their
willingness or taken any steps TO ally
themselves with the few struggling po-
litical vsgabonds who have unsuccess-
fully attempted the formation OF q so
called Independent party in this State.
On the contrary. they have been and are
to-day making . strict party fight. Dem
ocratic candidates for Office look to
Democratic conventions for nomination.
and 10 Democratic electors for votes.
True, they are facility favoring the
Independent clique. But they do this
" . method Of diversion from the main
conflict at issus-the direct contest be-
tween Republication and Democracy.
Th-y pat the few maicontents upon the
back. and say "Pitch into our common
foe, the Republican party" well know
ing that every vote lost to Republican
ism is one gained to Democracy. There
will DO NO split in the Democratic party
in Nevada this Fall. Delegates will as
sembls at its Convention in Carson. rep
resenting tho interests Of rival eandi-
dates. but the nominations once made.
all animosity will Be drowned in the
standard Democratic style and beverage,
and each individual delegate will return
to his local habitation with q firm deter
minstion to follow out the historical
precspts Of his party. to vote and labor
for tho straight ticket" i
Second-ths Independent has in view
"ths achieving Of another glorious VIC
tory in Nevada" This spirit nom a
Democratic standpoint is e~omnsndable.
But II strikes US that the Independent is
slightly incorrect in its use Of language.
II says another glorious Democratic
victory. We are perhaps too critical.
but mildly suggest that the words IAN
other and :" glorious" are superfiuous.
The only victory tho Democrats OF Ne
vsda ever achieved was four years ago,
by the aid Of Q large minority OF Re-
publiesns. This victory(O can hardly
bs characterized Is glorious" Many
Republicans. Directing to the Elko nom-
nations and snrsssd at bsing. rs they
claimed. ovsrslaushed in the convention,
chose between two alleged evils, and
combining with sundyy Democratic man
ayers made up from the nominees OF
both conventions, . third or compromise
ticket, which was elected. This was the
hnt approach to victory ever achisv'dby
Democrats since Nevada became q State.
Al TO the glory Of such a achievement
We may bs permitted to suggest that
like Coggia's comet. 1t is neither very
dazzling nor likely to soon rs-sppsar.
That the Democrats Of this State are,
o. usual. united in this contest there 10
no doubt. That Willingly or inviting
ly every Republican who symPathires or
allies himself with an attempted third
party In Nevada 10 playing into the
hands OF the Democratic party Ii equal
ly plain, but that with the combined
strength Of all the opposition the Re
publican party in this State will suffer
defeat in November va do not believe.
The causes which led to the bolt OF 1870
have in q great measure disappeared.
The disagrsements then existing have
boon harnonized. There will be mani
Tested in the Republican Convention
soon TO meet at winnemucca q unity OF
purpose. q determination to put forward
u candidates, strong, good and available
men. and in our judgment after that
Convention shall have finished its la
bsrs the Republican party will present
an insurmountabls barrier to Democratic
successes. The glorious" victories Of
Democracy will become in Nevada As
throughout the Union legendary stories
Of lost cause"
