NEvADA DECLARATION.

The Eureka SENTIN Ell, as an inde-
pendent journal, is pleased with the
action Of the Democratic State Conven-
ton at Carson yesterday, in selecting a
delegation to represent the Democracy
of Nevada al the approaching National
Convention at St. Louis. We are not ad-
vised Of any proceedings Of the conven-
ton other than the selection Of this del
egation, and we therefore have naught
further either to condemn or approve;
but we do know that each n of the
twelve selected Notwithstanding
delegates and ~alternates-is a bona fide
resident of our State. We do mol be-
lieve we are actuated by either per-
sonal or partisan motives in rejoicing
at so untoward an event, and We have
only to hope that each party in its ap-
preaching State Convention and in its
future course will follow the precedent
thus happily established.
In view Of the bygone record of both
parties in this matter; in view Of the
p~atronizing one of the California press
and people, whereby they kindly per-
NIT us to manage our own local affairs,
but ssum an advisory control in all
matters Of national moment; in view
of the slur cast upon us all by the
common scandal prevalent through
the land that Nevada. is a "pocket
borough" and a borough in the pocket
Of foreign capitalists, it would be a re.
freshing thing for us all, of either
party, to have placed before us next
fall for our support a ticket wherein
from Presidential Elector down to
Constable there shall not appear the
name of a single aspirant for Office
who is not an actual resident of the
State and Of the district wherein he
seeks Office. Gentlemen politicians,
we warn you all of both sides. Mark
our prediction: The appearance on
either ticket next November of the
name Of any man whose interests are
in Nevada. while his means or his
pleasure lead him to seek a home in
California, will doom that ticket to as.
sured defeat.

base designs. The little one escaped
and related the circumstances tn her
mother, who is a widow. The wretch
left at an early hour this morning.
There is q strong feeling OF indigna-
ton in town, AMI the chances would

lC0mmunicatcd.l
THE POLITICS OF THE DEMO-
CRATIC PARTY.

As the conventions for the nomina
ton OF presidential candidates are APP
preaching, 1 ask for space in your pa
per to give my views as to what should
be the policy of tho Democratic party
in It's selection Of a standard bearer,
and its attitude before the country.
As to its candidate, no halfway meas
ures should be permitted. 1t should
select q thorough stateman who tow
ers above the common herd of politi-
clans in intellect aud broad views OF
craftsmanship. No narrow : minded
man of sectional telling should be toll
lerated, but only a man Of broad views
and patriotic impulses should be C
cepted. We want no types of Blaine
or Morton as leaders of the Democratic
party, whether they be from the South
or from tho North.
II wise counsels prevail ut st. Louis
and q proper candidate Is selected,
there is nothing more certain than that
the Democratic party will in November
next march to a ucces which will re-
suit in plrcing 1t in power for many
years 70 come.
Grantis,n, its tools and defenders,
stink iu the nostrils of all honest men,
and the Republican party Is reduced
to the necessity in all the close states
of purchasing its majorities or being
beaten. 1t Is becoming every day
more evident that while Grant has be-
come too obnoxious to entertain a hope
for the nomination Tor himself. that
he still Yields sufficient power to se-
sure the naming Of n OF his satellites,
and in that event a democratic victory
is assured. But ON our part there
must be no chickering's or qnarrels in
the convention. 1t matters little to the
party whether the nominees name
Thurman, Bayard, Hendricks or Til
den, 40 that after fairly reviewing the
situation. one CT these shall be consid.
cred the strongest man before the peo-
pie, as all of them are worthy of their
confidence.
No side issues should be allowed to
dist act our attention from the great
work which Is before us Of rescuing
the country from the hands OF its des.
p0ilers.
Let the battle be fought on the NAL.
