LIBERAL REPUBLICANS AND TIE sENAroRsHIP.

LIBERAL REPUBLlCANS AND IhE sCNAlOhohlf
TO the Editor Of The Trt6une
SIR: The part acted by the Liberals and
Independents the election, it appears to me- has
not very gracefully recognized by Democratic
friends 1t Will not bo seriously contended that the
Democrats without their aid could have achieved much
10 this Sate and protest against It's being conceded as
Democratic victory Yet the Democrats claim all the
results The nomination OF the Lieutenant Governor
was only sprat to catch mackerel, fndeed the NOM
inee was Liberal, which seems TO be in doubt.
Now II the Democrats sincere In their professions
of devotion the public good, and not blind partsans
they will give United States senatorship to the Lib
erals. Why then, reflect Mr Fenoni Has he not
been with Mr.. Sumner and Mr.. Schurz in opposition to
the barefaced dishonesty Of Grants partsansi what
II COnklng does favor Mr.. Feutons re6lectoDY There
is poetic Justice In his being compelled to such course
certainly COnking has been the nalign agent who
has corrupted and dsintegrated the Republican party
in this State. But independent Liberal Senator In
Congress il a matter of much more Importance than
spiting .Conkng. But should Mr.. Fenton not
be the choice Of the Liberals, then we
poetic Justice also in contrasting the brother who had
been faithful to principle with the one who has prOs
tuted ms powers to the demagOgue There may be
OF also the Liberal ranks who would adorn seat
IA the United States Senate. Let the Democrats know
that the day Of their probation. They have not
the confidence OF a majority OF the voters, and
should thev cOncede nothing TO the Liberal and Inde

New YonK journals say that Henry
Ward Beecher has decided to give up
his usual course Of winter lectures. He
will, however. deliver addresses at State
and county fairs for agricultural socie-
ties. and is engaged for one or more
away down East somewhere this fall.
If our local agricultural society could
prevail upon him to come here in Oc-
tober and deliver an address at the Dis
trict Fair, it would make the exhibition
unusually attractive. Beecher draws
better than horse race or even circus.
and people would flock here from all
parts of the State to see and hear the
great man. Ii his engagements are
such that he cannot come at the time
appointed for the fair, then as the next
best thing Tilton might be- invited.
Either of them would be attractive. and
both are good speakers.

HoT.- Yesterday afternoon and last
evening were among the hottest, if not
the hottest, hours of the season. The
sky was clouded and the atmosphere
progressively sultry, very much like it
used to be years ago in the States.
Some predicted rain, and in almost any
other country it would have been safe
to have bet on it; but Nevada is like
the old topper who signed the pledge,
and, getting drunk next day, plead as
an excuse that all signs failed in u
dry time" 1t seems to be hard mat
ter for it to rain here, even though the
clouds Indicate it, and at present farm
ers and hay-makers do not desire it.

disturb them. They are half buried in

week at the age Of 104 years. Her
youngest child is thirty-nine, having
been born when the mother was sixty
five. The old lady expected to be pres
ent at the Centennial, but the disa-

The verdict of the coroner's jury was
Death from An overdose of scandal. :"
