Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1874-10-11

The most difficult thing in the whole
profession is to write success
fully on both sides of political theme.
We were struck with the almost insur-
obstacles which present
themselves whenever this is attempted
by perusing a recent number OF the
Phoebe RECORD. In one article the
writer, is advocating the election of
William Sharon to the United States Sem
ate, takes occasion to say that the only
safety for the American Republic lies IN
perpetuating the power of the Republic
can party. In the very next column the
same writer, in discussing the Louisiana
middle. improves the opportunity to say
that the Republican party is the most
corrupt political organization in America, |
and that it is going to the dogs as fast as |
it cam Virginia Chronicle, 7th.
The Virginia Chronicle has got new
hand at the bellows. Itcertainly needsd
one, but the reinforcement appears to
have some droll peculiarities. Among
others, it is struck with establishment
when a journal which declares that it is
independent dares to exercise that right;
and also is afflicted with an absolute
horror OF speaking the truth. These
little eccentricities may probably inter.
fere with the usefulness of "Wintry
Williams" new recruit. However, in
order to relieve the Chronicle mans
"struck" condition, we will inform that
| influential sheet that the Phoebe RECORD
supports Sharon for the reason that it
believes that he is the best man for the
position, aud not because be is mem
Der of any particular party. The RE-
CORD also supports Mr.. Sharon because
it believes that he will make an honest
, and faithful representative, mindful OF
a the interests and wishes Of his constitu'
r ents. A-ain, the RECORD supports
n Sharon because it believes that he vii
j. make himself felt as power in the Sen

, respected, and that he will always b<
, found urging measures calculated to
benefit the country. the whole country
not section, a piece or part Of it,
but the whole country over which
waves the flag of the Union. Those
are the reasons why last April we gave
and still give the support of the REooR1
: 10 Mr.. Sharon. But because we heartily
| and sincerely indorse Mr.. Sharon as U
, b. Senator for this State, it by no means
r follows that We should support thiev
, ing scoundrel like Kellogg, of Louisiana
Moses, of Sonth Carolina, and the res
of the carpet-bag swindlers. Those mer
are thieves, and simply soaking To gair
| opportunities for plumber. True, they
call themselves Republicans. but wha
> does that matter? They are no more
, Republicans than they are Democrats
3 They are simply swindlers, and would
J put on any livery that would give them
chance to steal. The great mass Of
the Republican party are honest, upright
men, and are no more responsible fol
the misdoings of those villains than
they are for the crimes of any malefactor
who may choose to call himself Re-
publican. Further, the RECORD is really
independent, is not bound to any party.
It support those candidates the election
Of whom it believes will be conducive to
the best interests of the people. That is
why it supports Sharon, that is why il
condemns Kellogg, and that is why it il
the determined, uncompromising oppo

, and Tunnel Sutro. That is also VIII,
, the RECORD is opposed to the Democrac,
: being entrusted with the administration
4 of either State or National affairs; be
l cause it believes that it would be haz
l ardous and dangerous experiment. A
! the same time the RECORD believes ant
advocates all this; it also believes tina
the carpet-bag swindlers of the class vi
have before alluded to, should b.
, kicked out Of Office and severely
punished for their manifold offences
There is. however, one thing that th
/ RECORD would respectfully recommend
> and that, If it does not give the Chronicl
t man too much pain, is for him to try t
a speak the truth once in a while. If b
: would try it occasionally, he might &c
8 used to it and like it. For instance, mo-
Q If the Chronicle man stated that th
# RECORD declared that tha--SOrtbl st
!. y, scoundrels upon earth, that woul
n have been the truth. Instead of that
i the Chronicle asserts that we said "tha
: the Republican party was the most col
: rupt political organization in America,
l which we did not say or believe. O
. course neither the RECORD, or any othel
paper or person, pays any attention t.
what the Chronicle says, it is too small
! an affair. But still, if it were to take ,
fresh departure and stick to the truth
it might gain influence and circulation
though it does support "Wintry vii
liams" for Senator. Better run him fol
an ice-cream freezer or an ice making
machine-as either be would be q great
success.
