OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. G. |
Nov. 28th, 1876. J

Nov. 18TH, 1916.
Editor Senti1eJ:-
Autumn has been lingering in
the lap of winter until Sunday
morning, when from some sudden
unknown cause, winter uncermo-
niously lifted autumn out Of her
comfortable seat and with rain,
snow, wind and all other disagree
able accomplishments began the
reign which will probably last
until Tilden or Hayes is inaugur-
ated on the 4th of March next. l
don't know that the inauguration
will have any effect on the wealth
er but it affec nearly everything
else, even to the naming of infan-
tile progency who happen to put
in an appearance about that time
Most of the excitement over the
campaign has quieted down and
the calm reasoning and second
thought of the steady class OF
people, are exerting a good inf1u
ence. | do not apprehend any
difficulties here, no matter who is
elected and inaugurated. We
have had enough of the shedding
of blood and patriots are not SO
ready now to lose life, health, for
tune and all else because sOmebO'
dy else is disappointed in being
made President. No, sir, we don't
want any of that in ours. If worst
comes to worst would rather be
quartermaster than anything else
The south rn muddle continues
and no one can yet tell who has
carried South Carolina, Florida
and Louisiana. Fraud is charged
on both sides and [ expect with
good Foundation, for from past ex
periences | have learned to doubt
every man who dabbles in politics
and am perfectly ready to believe
him a political thief until he CAL
prove himself an honest man
This is reversing the rule, but i
is a safe plan to follow.
Several Congressional commit
tees are already at work and as
fast as members and Senators
come in, arrangements are made
for industry during the coming
session.
No political news ofimpOrt aside
from the elections. Tweed has
arrived at New York and is agar
sat home" Pin Jail where he ough
to stay. u.

To David Neahr, Geo. Martin,
j. M. Redondo, James NJ. Barney,
II. S. Fitzgerald, DeForest Porter,
and others.
GENTLEMEN 1t was with great
qualification read your request
that | submit my name as candl-
date at the coming election for the
position of Mayor.
During the past | have tried
nv best TO faithfully fill the office,
but fear that | may not always
have acted up to the expectations
of all. My shortcomings howev
er, I can with a perfectly clear
conscience assert, have not beer
the result Of intention, but errors
of Judgment, from which | believe
no one to be free.
Your request gives me conhd-
ence to believe that my errors car
not have been grave ones, and
feel highly honored in accedine
to your wishes.
lfelected, you may rest assured
that in the future, as in the past
shall earnestly endeavor to do M!
duty. Very respectfully,
A. J. FINLAY.

REPORT OF THE y. s. GRAND
JURY.

Territory of Arizona, I'd Judicial
District. The Grand Jury, en-
panneIled at the Fall Term A. ID.
1876, of the U. S. District Court,
in and for the Second judicial Dis
trict, of Arizona, having cOnclud-
ed its Iabors respectfully present
their report and ask to be discharg-
ed. Only one presentment was
made to the Jury in which the
charge was ignored.
While it is a fact we'll known to
the members of the Jury that In
dians are frequently seen upon our
streets in a dangerous state of in
toxication, yet no direct evidence
has been brought to our notice
that would justify the present
ment of any individual charged
with selling intoxicating liquor to
them. We recommend that de-
tectives be employed by the pro
per officers for the purpose of OBJ
tanning evidence and bring tc
| Justice the perpetrators of this ne
fariOus crime.
We would respectfully call at
tention to the fact that this anC
preceding Grand Juries have beer
summoned and have faithfully
discharged their duties, withou
receiving therefore the compensa
ton allowed by law, or any othe
c0mpen Sation whatever; and bes
the Court, by communication will
the department of Justice, or b.
any other means in its discretion
to remedy the injustice and pre-
vent future repetition thereof.
The thanks of the Jury are ten
dered to the Court and U. S. Dis
trict Attorney for their kindnes
and attention, and for the abl
manner in which they have dis
charged their duties.
J. M. REDONDO,
Foreman.

From the Citizen of Dec. 9Th /:


Col. ]. M. Barney, G. Fl. Swain,
B. w. Reagan, R. NJ. Philips,
w. R. Defrees and Smith r.
Hunter arrived at Florence yes
terday. We understand the main
object of the parties, is business
visit to the Silver King mine,
with a purpose perhaps of some
change in the ownership and
operations on a much larger scale
than at present. We are sure
that Mr.. Swain represents capital
and is part proprietor of successful
smelling and refining works at
Melrose near San Francisco. Col.
Barney has been handling about
all the ore shipped from the King,
and Mr.. Phillips is a gentlemen
of high scientific character in
mining matters, having been edu-
Gated in Swansea, England. Mr..
Reagan is we'll known as half
owner of the King, and we be-
lieve the other two gentlemen
are mining operators, hence our
belief that the movement has
direct reference to the famous
mine and it's more rapid develope-
ment if not actual sale or part
sale. On Monday evening, Lewis
Williams arrived at Florence

the profit of those entrusting them
to me. Correct and responsible

A HOME THRUsT.-The Democratic
County Convention of Eureka passed
the following preamble and resolu-
tons:
Whereas. It is a notorious fact that
the notifies of Nevada have heretofore
to a great extent been controlled by
non residents of this State; and
Whereas, The Republican party es-
peciallv has been controlled by resi-
dents Of California. number OF whom
are now holding the highest positions
within the gift of the people OF this
State therefore be it
Resolved. That if the Democratic
party of Nevada, having within It's
ranks sufficient number of members
actual residents of the State, who are
amply competent to attend to the IN
terests OF the organization and to II II
all positions which the party or the
people of the State have to bestow,
have no occasion to call on the resi-
dents of our neighboring State to SUI
perintend the management of our local
party affairs, or fill our local positions;
and it is therefore further
Resolved. That the delegates to the
Democratic State Convention from Eu-
reka county be, and they are Hereoy
instructed to support no persons as
delegates from Nevada to the National
Convention except those whose resi-
dence in this State is actual and not
constructive.
These resolutions are supposed to be
aimed at General Thomas II. Williams
and Henry r. Mitchell, both of whom
want to be delegates to the Democratic
National Convention from this State.
The preamble and resolutions were in
troduced by John H. Dennis, partner
of George w. CASSIDY in the publica-
ton of the Eureka Sentinel. Cassidy
will represent Eureka in the State Con-
vention, and yet he will labor to elect
H. X. Mitchell as a delegate to st.
Louis, the above resolutions Of instruc-
ton to the contrary Notwithstanding.
