LETTER FROM A MINER.


EpIToH SENTINEL-Sir: The follow.
ing appeared in the Phoebe Daily Rec.
ord of September 23d. 1874:
CHANGE OF OwNERsHIP.-Havin
purchased the interest of Judge Berry
in the Eioche Dojty Rccord, the busi-
ness will hereafter lie conducted by
myself as sole proprietor.
L. HOLLAND.
Immediately beneath, under the
head of Remarkable Discovery" he
proceeds to take the Eureka Demo-
cratic Convention to task for the reso-
lutions, introduced in that body, re-
uuiring all candidates for nomination
to the State Legislature to pledge them
selves to the defeat of Mr.. Sharon.
Mr.. Holland takes particular ex-
cepticn to that clause in the preamble
setting forth .That the election sf VIM.
Sharon to the United States Senate
would be inimical to the best interests
of this State, and particularly the toll
ing portion of its citizens;" and, in his
vain attempts to controvert it, lie desig-
mates the members of the convention
by such names as "addle headed
zanies," .carping muddle-head>," zig
noramuses," &C., &c.
The character of Pat. Holland, for
morality and integrity is too well
known to the majority of your readers,
either to effect the standing Of the dele
gates, or need any comments from me.
| will only remark, that of the fifty
two delegates composing that conven-
ton, no one Of them but enjoyed the
confidence of a respectable portion of
the citizens of Eureka county, conf
dence that Pat. Holland would not en-
joy if there, that he does not enjoy III
Pioche where he lives, nor in any place
where he is known. | will, therefore,
dismiss him il: company with his
b.liingsgate, his most fitting gassOciatc.
There j., however, one question
asked in his remarks that seems 10 re-
uure an answer: Has !" Sharon not
,he right To use his wealth in the man
ner that suits him, so that use is law
ful!" That, in my opinion. is one par
t.cu'ar reason why he shouid not go
t. the United States Senate. that he
lnav not have the chance to lcgalize his
injuslices. When he orders rich ores

LEGAL way to prevent him, and there
