Deacon Lewis, OF the ksno Cresc7u'
this morning. shows more plainly than
ever heretofore his true snimss. In an
editorial OF nearly . column he gloats
over Democratic successes ct the East,
and through Ignorance also sxults ovsra
supposed similar condition Of affairs in
Nevada. Regarding the East he Is right.
As to Nevada he ID wrong. Democracy
has achieved no triumph worthy Of lau-
dstion In Nevada

rather every journal claiming allegiance
to the so-callsd Independent party. e.
