Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-09-20

The Harmonious and unterri6ed Dem
ocsacy Of Ormsby county met in council
yesterday and saopsed . platform and
nominated ticket. The proceedings OF
the convention are elsewhere reported.
Reviewing the work Of onr Democratic
neighbors We find that they have nom.
mated very respectable ,icket--so far
IS they have gone-their going not being
to the extent of full and distinctive sci
Of candidates for the various Offices to be
filed at the coming election. There
seems to be a lack Of timber for the
positions of Sheriff, Clerk, Recorder
and Surveyor. and they have very
wisely skipped those misunderstanding
to Messrs. Swift, Edwards, Turner and
Hoyt, a "walk-over." Sam D. King is
Q gentleman of excellent attninments,
and for one so young, has very bald
and shiny head which would not look
well in the attitude of a hold-over Sen
stor with Democratic leaninss. We can
afford to bold steadfast to our purpose
of letting Martin beat him by at least
$50 majority. Hank Martin Was sac
rificed four years ago on the bull
whacker's ticket" Jim st. Clair is sig
nally disqualified for his candidacy. ua-
less laundry man can SO far degenerate
from the duties of his business as to ex-
emp!ify in his own person and practices
the habits and disinclinations Of the
Great Unwashed; and Mr.. Gibbons can
hardly be spared from his present use
ful position at the Brunswick Mill to
represent the majesty of Empire in the
House Of Commons" Aud SO they
have again pi,ted our energetic friend,
Dick Kelly, against Harry Peters for the
Treasurership. We opine that much i'll
terest will center on this part Of the two
tickets. The fights for the Treasurer
office in this county always have been
very sharp. and We can see no reason
for believing that this year will prove an
exception. The reliable Republican
majority in this county. and Mr.. Peters
pronounced and uuwavering Republican,
ism are very strong points in bis favor
We note that John Wagner, q veteran OF
the political race-course in this county,
is to make the contest against Beam
Pixley for the Assessorship. We have
81 CT
ner is conceded to be-for PiAley has
the speed and muscle aud wind and
bottom OF hearty, healthful youth as
against the less speedy and nimble
movements of o full-sSed contestant
and then, as with the others, be has the
backing of party of superior numbers.
Uncle Billy Patterson. like the ambitious
undertaken at a we'll contested funeral.
is making a race against very active
and fast-going Coffin. 1t is not ill.,
possible that he is progressing toward
his own political funeral. Mr.. laser's
nomination for Superintendent of
Schools is an excellent one. Mr.. Moody
will find that he has very popular
opponent. Mr.. Jake Beam will tackle
Willis, and our venerable friend Dow
undertakes to curry a very hard horse
in attempting the run against Judge
Morris. Mr.. Garrard's chances to Gust
Charley Witherell as Chief Justice of
this township are very slim; and Uncle
Bob Fouke, with the dews of sixty-two
winters upon his frosty pow, will have
to impose much unwonted exercise upon
his attenuated neither extremities to win
in the Stern chase he has entered on.
Altogether, We can see no elements OF
strength in this Democratic ticket that
are superior to those which the Repub-
llcans of this county have SO uniformly
and handsomely defeated in former
years. The campaign is fully open.
Faithful action toward one another by
the candidates; fidelity to itself by the
party; and energetic work until the close
of the canvass will insure US the old.
