The Democratic candidate for Lieu
tenant.Governor of Ohio; the horny
handed Carey, is making it lively in
that State for the bond-holdcrs and
clippers. In q recent speech
he is reported as saying:
But what did the "bloated specula-
tors" demand Of their party, and how
was their demand responded to by their
agent in Congress They provided
by law that the bonds issued under the
Funding Bill should never BIZ taxed
by Federal, State or municipal author
ity. An untaxed aristocracy openly
created in this Republic by this party
that now asks to be perpetuatcd il pow.
or by the robbed and betrayed produ-
cers Of wealth.
In order to etill further increase the
value Of the bonds and depreciatc the
money value Of labor and all kinds Of
property, the coupou.clippers and tho
Republican allies in office began early
and systematically the work Of dimiu-
ishiug the volume of legal tenders.
Congress passed q law increasing,
by very small amount, the legal ten.
der circulation. President Grant, true
to bis instincts, and to carry out the
bchests Of coupon-clippers and Nation.
al bankers, interposed his veto. The
news went upon the lightning's wing
to all the countries Of Europe, and in-
stantly the wires were made hot by the
congratulations of the money rings Of
London, Frankfort, Paris and Vienna
to the gold gamblers of State and Wall
streets. Grant had saved the mes. Of
thieves, and given them new license
to plumber this great people!
If the Democratic party does not
get into power to arrest this yillainy
before the 1st Of July, 1876, l would
advise you to put your. horses in order,
for widespread misery, disaster and
ruin are inevitable II you have pur.
chased farm or dwelling house, and
owe one-,hird of the purchase money,
lose no time in ptrsuadiug the mort
gage TO take the property of your
hands for what you owe.
Mechanics, miners, mill men and
laborers, what advice can l give you ?
Nay God have mercy upon you and
your dependent families. Your and
their dcstitutiOn will defy description

Dangerous Power.

The power Of the holding must
be broken. As long as they retain
tho power which they already hold
over the people the country must suf.
fer. The system of government is
evidently corrupt which fosters the
interests Of the few at the expense Of
the many. Such system of Govern.
ment is an enemy to our Democratic
form Of Government. We don't ask
for any kind of class legislation to the
injury Of bond-holders. but We do ask
that the people be protected from the
greed and avaricc of an un-
principlcd money power, that encour-
aged corruption alike destructive to
public morals and public liberty.
The Weston Democrat. [volume] (Weston, W. Va.) 1875-current, 1875-08-16

A REPUBLICAN Congress created our
grecnback currency. and Grant packed
the Supreme Court ofthc United States,
for the plrposc Of rcserviug a decision
against its constitutionality. and yet
We find the Radical leaders and organs
coutemptuously speaking Of greenbacks
as Confederate money" and "Conti-
ncntal!money." Who was it that forced
this currency upon the people and
compelled them to take it in payment
Of oil debts duo them and for oil they
had to sell, while the bondholdcrs were
paid in coin? If grccnbacks are q
crime, let the real criminals be brought
10 judgment.

Our Next State Election.

As our coming State election is
over q year of, says the
Standard, it is likely that the majority
Of our ci;izcns have not taken notice Of
the fact that the entire roster of exccu-
tive officers, scventy-sevcn members
Of the Legislature, and probably the
full bench Of the Court Of Appeals.
besides large number of minor officers
below mentioned, are to be selected at
that time ; lacking, it will bc obserS-
cd, but twelve Senators Of being an
entirely new deal in all three Of the
departments Of the State government.
1t seems to be generally understood
that Judge Moore, who drew the II
year term in the Supreme Court, will
resign his position before the election,
on account Of the great labor and small
remuneration attached thereto. With
his retirement all Of the seats in that
body will soon become vacant, as tue
terms Of Judges Raymond and lof-
man expire on the 4th Of March, 1871.
In addition to the selection of new
legislative, judicial and executive Off.
GERS for the State, must be considered
the important question of our Federal
representation. Four members Of
Congress will also be elected next Fall,
three in the lower, and one in the up
per house of that body. That is to
say, a Legislature. with the exception
before noted, will be chosen at the
election, which will afterwards have
the selection Of a representative in the
United States Senate to succeed Mr.
Davis.
1t will further be seen from wha,
has already been said, that our entire
Legislative representation, both STATE
and Federal, with the exception o.
twelve State Senator's and one United
State Senator, is to be chosen anew a'
the next general election, IN aggre
gate Of cighty.one members in all
made up of sixty-fve Delegates, twelve
States Senators aid four Congressman

GOVERNOR ALIEN said in his speech
at Gallipolis, that he crossed over to
that town from Virginia, having trav-
elled on foo. FROM Lynchburg, when he
was but sixteen years old. The Gov.

Provided Judge Moore resigns; the
number 10 be reduced one If he does not.
A fair idea of the magnitude Of the
coming election can DO obtained from
the foregoing total Of officers to be
chosen. Very few of our citizens, We
are led to conjecture, really have an
adequate conception Of the Importance
of our State elections in general, and
especially Of the next approaching one.

LICENsEs.-Our County officers
cannot be too efficient in the collec-
ton of licenses from peddlers COM
ing into the county for day A
lady ~ came over from Reno a
few days since. having some lace
and other articles indispensable to
the ladies of Dayton, which she
proceeded to sell indiscriminately,
without having procured license.
Our worthy Sheriff called at her
hotel, but she was out, and having
got wind of the Sheriff's object in
visiting her, got up and busted"
and is now supposed to be in
Storey county. For the protection
of our resident merchants, who pay
revenue to the county, all peddlers
should be made to pay a license
before being permitted to ply their
rOcations.

LIGHT AND TRUTH

Is there any man, woman or child
in Silver City or Virginia City who
believes it? Is there anybody who,
in this enlightened age, will give
credence 10 any report which even
hints at the possibility of undersell-
ing Banner Bros. clothing house,
corner G. and Taylor streets. It can't
be done. No one can give you as
excellent an article of clothing for
as little money as this popular es-
tablishment. No matter how hard
others may try, they always find it
impossible to reach the extreme low
scale of prices which has been estab-
liShed at this emporium of fashion.
We shall always maintain our right
to the title of the "Champions of
Low Prices" The facilities this firm
possesses is unrivaled by any other
establishment on the coast. A large
factory at No. 106 Duane street,
New York, magnificent wholesale
house at Nos. 204 and 206, Sansome
street, San Francisco, and mann
moth establishment at the corner of
c and Taylor streets, the largest in
Virginia City. And we make no
vain boasts when we say to you 1--WE
never will be undersold.' The
"Refecting Light erected in front
of this mammoth establishment,
"dazzles' the eye for blocks off, and
both light and establishment out
shines any in Virginia City.
In order TO make room for large
stock of Spring clothing now being
manufactured at our own factory In
New York, we offer our entire well
selected stock OF Winter clothing at
prices as low as to make it within the
reach of every one to dress we'll.
We ask the public to examine our
assortment and prices before being
allured to purchase from others, and
we will be satisfied with your choice.

FATAL MINING ACCIDENT.-Tues-
day ailernoon about one o'clock Gill
bert Cutler, a miner employed in
the Con. Virginia mine, fell from the
500 foot station to the bottom of the
main shaft at the l500-foot level and
was instantly killed. His body was
fearfully torn and mangled. The
whole top of his head was torn off,
from the mouth upward, and an arm
and leg were also torn Oft, while the
body was crushed to pulp. 1t APP
pears that he was running Il car and
pushed it into the shaft instead of
running 1t upon the cage, which he
supposed to be standing ready to re-
ceive it AS usually happens in such
cases, he WAS pulled into the shaft
bv the sudden jerk of the falling car.
1t seems that he had rmg the cage
up to point some 20 feet above the
station at which he was working,
then returned to his business of run
ming the car, forgetting that he had
not rung the cage down again. De-
ceased has brother in Virginia City,
Lewis Cutler, who is employed at
the Savage mine, and leaves wife
and two children in San Francisco.
He was Al years of age and was a
native of Moorsburgh, Dundass
County, Canada West. A strange cir
onputapca was that the car w hic n
fell into the shaft descended but
about 20 feet, when it caught and
lodged in the timbers.

SURPRISE PARTY.-The grandest
event of the season, so far as Silver
City has had a say, took place on
Tuesday evening, on the occasion
of a sheet-and-pillow-case surprise
party. A number of the friends of
Superintendent Kalmes surprised
that gentleman at his rooms in the
Winter House. The party, CON
sisting of some twelve couples,
thoroughly masked, proceeded
from the residence of Mr.. G.. V.
Boisot, at the hour of $50 O'Clock,
and took Mr.. Kalmes' rooms by
storm. That gentleman, never off
his guard, received the company
in hostile manner, making several
Intellectual attempts to unmask the
intruders. While this was going
on the sound of music proceeded
from an adjoining room; the mask
ers, with their prisoner, COM
menced to dance, and kept it up
for nearly half an hour at lively
rate, each one that could get hold
of Mr.. X. giving him a lively shake
up. From sheer exhaustion he
cried hold, enough" sent out
and brought in basket of cham
payne, and brought forth glasses.
Every gentleman present consti-
tuted himself committee to assist
the host to break the bottles and
pass around the sparkling wine
Then or Whereabouts the masks
were removed, and a general hand
shaking ensued. Dancing was re-
newed and kept up until the land
lady, Mrs. Winter, who was in the
secret, with her assistants, spread
the tables with the lunch provided
by the intruders. After all had
eaten and drank to their hearts
content, toasts and speeches We're
in order. Mr.. Boisot explained the
cause of the attack on our friend at
that unseemly hour, when Mr..
Kalmes replied in a short and hap
Ply speech, giving all an assurance
of hearty welcome. Dancing was
renewed after supper and kept up
until after 2 o'clock, and at no time
did hilarity cease to reign. We
have taken a good deal of solid
comfort under a sheet, but we
never dreamt that the addition of
pillow-case on the head would
bring about so much pleasure. At
a seasonable hour yesterday morn
ing all put in an appearance on
deck, SO we think they must have
enjoyed the few hours Of rest, and
that the wine furnished on the oc-
casion did not consist of the head
ache kind.

WE see by the San Francisco eX-
changes that the business of the street
brokers is to be partially suppressed.
At meeting of the Board of Super
visors the Committee on Licenses
and Orders reported tavorably on the
passage of the order charging street
brokers license of $40 per day or
$500 per month. They said they un-
derstood the order to be drawn more
with view of dispensing the crowds
that blockade California street than
with any desire to bring revenue in
to the Golfers Of the city. The brokers
themselves, the Committee believed,
were not averse to the passage of the
order, inasmuch as they had passed
a resolution to fine every member
So for buying or selling in front of
the building occupied by the brokers,
which fine was a great deal more
severe than the license proposed by
the city. After considerable discus
sion the order was finally passed.
