means of support" had communi-
cation published in the independent ;
it was simply very weak tissue of
falsehoods, and the "piece or its
- author were scarcely worthy of
the castigation given them the
next day, by an editorial in the
TIMES. In that communication he
d" requested a small space, for the
purpose of giving short history of
the independent movement in this
county," Now, history of the
independent Increment in Lyon coun-
ty was just what the great majority
OF the people of the county would
like to read. But, the fee or sir
Sore-head ptdnipulat0rS Of the more
mem did not rant the thing mate
public, and as soon as a0hitet had
written his first paragraph they
stopped him, and he " switched of y
and changed the subject to the
subsidized preSS.n Here whiffet's
natural truth telling q? proclivities
crop out again: when he says that
the " paper was to be an independ-
ent, no-party sheet" At the time
the paper was started the independ-
ent party had no being, and its pros
pectus announced that the TIMES
would be an "advocate of the Re-
publican party and principles not
| that it would endeavor to infuse life
into the acknowledgement corpse
of Sore-head-hybrid independents
democratic party. The " leading
citizens of Lyon county did not
expect or want it, and if lOhiBet and
the class to which he belongs did,
they have been grievously disap-
pointed. Now, word about our
Republican Primaries. WhiBet says
" verybody knows how that Repub-
lican (Sharon) slate was made up
for our ~ primaries; how all our
best and most honorable ~ citizens
We're carefully left out in the cold"
What does the record show? The
straight Republican ticket in Silver
City received an average of 1862,
while the other side averaged 90;
leaving q majority of &c. In Dayton
the vote stood 129 to 81, a majority
of As for the Republican ticket, and
this is what aohitet would call put
up job. The " best and most hon
orable citizens whom this majority
carefully left out in the cold" I will
take up and consider in my next
! communication. In the independent
of to-day aghiBet has again spread
| himself. He tells US not anything
new; that g Mr.. VIM. Il. King is the
Sharon candidate for State Senator,
/
and that he is Superintendent of the
Eureka Mill and receives a salary of
five hundred dollars per month"
Mr.. King is the Republican candi-
date for the State Senate, and, as is
the case with nine-tenths of the true
Republicans throughout the State,
he is in favor of the election of Will
liam Sharon to the United States
from a laborer to the position he
now holds; he may receive five hun
dred dollars per month-and, if he
does, he is worth it to the Company
that employ him, or they would not
pay it. He is honest and capable,
and will represent Lyon county III
the State Senate with homer to HIM
self and to the satisfaction of his
| constituency. Above all, he is a
gentleman-far removed above at
tacks emanating from such source.
Whiffet says Mr., Dovey is a resi-
dent of Silver City, devoted to
Sharon "a youth unknown to
| fame,'" etc. If whiffet had lived in
Lyon county a few years instead of
a few months, he would have known
that Mr.. w. c. Dovey was mem
Der of the Assembly from this
county four years ago, and that his
course during the session of 1871 met
with the universal appreciation of
his constituents; in fact, he made
one of the best members we have
ever elected in Lyon county. He
will be reelected on next Tuesday,
and his most simple word and least
act will be remembered when
whiffet's whole life history will have
been forgotten. Mr.. l.. Morrill, of
Dayton is an honest, straightforward
business man. If he made some
money in the legitimate business of
selling ice, which is the more hon
