LETTER FROM GENERAL CAE.
WNIADER.

EDITOR SENTINEL: Allow me to
correct a missapprehension expressed
in your paper of the 10Th, which is as
follows: 1.-THE General seems angry
because White Pines delegation TO the
Republican State Convention was in
structed for Judge Beatty AMI not for
him."
The grounds of my animadversions
with legitimate influence As Chairman
of the Central Committee, he soiled
the judicial ermine by dabbling in the
primaries, and when sufficiently as
surcd of control by the arrival of dele
gates, he no.; only reScinded an agree
ment for our individual Endorsement
to the sac Convention, but cCnspired
to have me fore>hadowed in that body.
! say conspired. for it vas utterly UNI
known 10 the convention hat Ii was
ARRANGED that w. T. iIanford waS q be
nominated for County Clerk. then 10
lie a delegate to the State Convention.
AMI finally TO he nominated rs Clerk
of the supreme Court. thus precluarug
me, uudtr the rules assumed
to govern that body. The men,
bers OF the Convention as they
seNeral,v arrived. in a great ma
iuritv of eases. voluntarily adverled 20
my eaniidature. and heartily CON
Cured in il: aud would have. as a
body. iudcrSed ii, had not Judge Beat
~ and his satellites eajolel and hec-
tored them to the contrary. His AFRO
gance and pride prompted him t" de.
mani my retreat into the shades. and
allow him to be the sole exponent of
Whi.e Pine. while my self-re>pect
compelled meto decline the derogatnry
offer, though l we'll knew the penalty
that would be enforced. The cards
were stocked. hut | WAS determined
They should play out their little
game"
1.-THE ostracism had been an unhi-
ased one. would have submitted 81
lentlv: buta, it Vas procured, revolt
cd. The advent OF Mir Hillhouse
promises a speedy punishment for the
Judges Voraciou> consumption OF
White Pine. should the Winnemucca
convention unadvisedly put him in
nomination. as assurei!y the counties
of Nve. Lander. Eureka, White Pine
and Lincoln would give him a large
aggregate minority. 4 LOCK OF gray
hair on that.
l do not impu-n Judge Bcatty'> in
te-rity or capacity. but ! do Object to
that feature in his character that has
made him 50 di>ta>teiul 10 hi> legal
hre;hren; in illustration of which |
cor an anecdote of Dir. Mercer from
the rIT. chr0F.: 1.-The doctor. in his
last illness. was visited by a younger
friend. WHO tearfully referred to favor,
bestowed on him while a youth by the
doctor. % YES, I remember. D,
when YOU and Your brother George
were little bows and used to coue and
see me very often. and | always had a
nice large apple for each OF you.'
We'll do | ,ecoliect it, replied d.
with great cmotion:' and you also
recollect. l., who YOU used to eat halfof
Georges apple and hide Your own
tor, have Won not through life been
consistent with this juvenile eXhibi-
ton OF Your leading trait?''
Mr.. Hanford's duplicate nomination
would leave his friends in tears. but
could his habits be relied upon he
would make a good clerk. An ounce
of brains is not required for such a
function. With Il Grnchm less he would
be idiOtic rs well as with 4 8SGEl Hlorc,
as all mast know who have cen him
in his crps or witnessed his benc9icftOn
on the Fourth OF July last past. Rcior-
nation in such eases is had, when Cen
eral Shcridan's Indian is made good.
