A CORRECTION.

One matter our Republican friends
sssm to have almost entirely overlooked,
viz: the geographical situation. in max
ing their nominations. With but one
exception. and that Of Judge Beatty for
the Supreme Court. the Great East il
left out in the sold hiie Pine Necs,
Oct. Sd.
We are not positive whore the line Of
dsmarkation between the Great East
and western portion OF Nevada is loca-
ted, but suppose it begins somewhere
east Of wadsworth. In this view Of the
case ii would certainly seem that the
Great East" is fairly represented on
the Republican ticket. We find on that
ticket published in the White Pine
Ns,es) that Humboldt. Elko. Nys and
Churchill are each represented by one
and Eureka and White Pine
each by two. Il may be that White
Pine considers itself the only locality
in the Great East entitled to rscog-
milton. In this view OF the case, and
this only. the criticism Of the N,,os is
pertinent; for. as we stated, she now has
as candidates two sstimabls gentlemen
who are aspiring to two OF the most
important Offices in the State OF Ne
vada. The Republican party sought, in
its nominations at winnsmucca, 70 con-
suit and represent different counties Of
the State so far as possible and at the
same time to select . worthy ticket.
White Pine certainly has no u for
at her representation upon the
Republican State ticket. We may here
also say, by way OF parsn,hssis, that no
sectional line either State or National
drawn in Republican nominations,
but that persons born north Of Masons
