what's the matter. We should have
seemed TO lie liberal, rather than grasp
i2g. publi, Spirited rather than selfish,
disposed to meet the State hall way,
rather than prolific in schemes to set
the better Of the bargain. We must
bear in mini that it IS a great piece of
favoritism by viii b any one town IS
selected in preference TO all the lest il
the State, for the Capital. To be sure
Carson is the best place for the State In
stitutions, bat there is not another town
OF small dimensions and struggling for
tunes IN the State but that looks at Ler
favored sister with more or less Jealousy
and jealousy has its weight ii lesisla-
ton quite as much as gratitude or pat
riotism We stichled for Capital
grounds appropriation, ana lost the
University; We have been iiibersl in
oar street improvements, and the State
Prison is going away from us; We have
done the foolish thing that every other
Capital town always does, shown dis
position 10 ride free horse to death.
Now this kind Of talk may not please
certain people. 1t is not impossible that
We are opposing the purpose Of certain
very earnest and very estimable gentle
men in saying what We shall say further,
namely, That We think il Hill be an
unSise thing to ask tie Stale ioz An az
preparation for State Fair Society. We
certainly do think so; AMI here are
some OF our reasons for 50 thinking.
