Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1874-10-20

As to the State of Nevada, in whose
pretended benefit this letter was read and
published, we can think of no greater
calamity that could befall that State than
the success Of the Republican party I'M
der Sharon for the Senate, Hazlett for |
Governor, and such q Legislature as
would elect Sharon to the office he seeks.
Il Sacramento Union, 10.
The frightful calamity that the Union
thus feelingly refers to, has been the fate
of Nevada since its existence as a Terri
tory and State, aud still she survives.
From its organization as Territory up
to the present time, Nevada has always
had Republican Legislature. and yet
the Union deplores the prospect OF the
next Legislature, also being Republican,
as frightful calamity. Yes, it will be
frightful calamity for the Sutro and Will
nams chivalry, but not for the State. 1t
will be q death blow to Sutro and his
tunnel and wintry Williams Senatorial
aspirations, but to no one else. Nevada
was born under a Republican Admins
tration. Her representatives sent to
the national couusels have always beer
Republican. Her Legislatures have in
variably contained a Republican major
ity, and yet she seems to have dom
pretty well. With all the hue and or
about corruption, etc. the State is ire
from debt, or has sufficient means oil
hand to at once liquidate all proper de
mands. The Democratic papers arc
constantly reverting to this pleasant
condition of affairs, and claiming it as
the result of the personal efforts Of Gov.
Bradley and the other State officers.
The truth is quite the reverse. Gov.
Bradley had no more to do with devisine
the means of rescuing the State from
the financial difficulties which threatened
her in 1869 than one of his own oxen
The credit Of the measures which hav,
relieved the State and restored her credi
must be given to Republican and TO {
Republican Legislature. DR.. Hazlett
the present Republican candidate fol
Governor, introduced those measure,
into Republican Legislature, and tina
Republican Legislature caused them t.
become the law of the land. We al
know that the workings Of those act
have been in the highest degree benefi
cial to the State, for all that the Unioi
tells us that a Legislature of a politica
complexion similar to that which passed
those excellent measures would be 8
frightful calamity for the State. That is
singular style of reasoning, is it not,
especially for a public journal which a,
one time occupied foremost place
among the journals of the Pacific
coast. The explanation is, how
ever, quite easy. For some cause
or other the Union is bitterly opposed tc
Sharon. 1t admits that it has no sount
reason, but is like the Cambridge studen
who did not like DR.. Fell The Uniol
can allege no sufficient cause for its en-
nifty to Sharon, save the very philo
sophie and satisfactory one-that it doe
not like him. Not liking him, it tries t
defeat him. In order to do that the Re
publican party of Nevada must be de
feated also, and that is why the Uniol
utters SO lugubrious prophecy respect
ing the fate of the State, in case tn
usual Republican majority is sent to tn,
State Legislature. Now such spitefu
trash as this. is scarcely worth notice
and we should pass it without com
ment, were it not useful as an illustra
ton Of the paucty of any well grounded
reasons that can hf purify G 81 the Stat
or Mr.. Sharon, as its candidate for tn
Senate of the United States.
