NEVAD A'S DELEGATION.

A correspondent Of the New York
Herald, writing from Virginia City,
under date of the 10Th inst, had the
following to say OF Nevada's delegation
to the st. Louis Convention. Some
mistakes were made, but the article, IS
a whole, viii! doubtless prove interest
ing:
The delegation consists of "A. G. Ellis,
Carson; John G. K~aneen, Mayor OF
Virginia City; r. +. Heating, Gold
Hill; John G. Fall, Unionville: r. E.
Kelley, Carson, and John Ii. Dennis,
Eureka. The delegation Is pledged
only to the observance Of Democratic
principles. In the resolutions adopted
on the day the delegation was elected
was a very strong n against further
Chinese immigration, and l do not
doubt that the delegation will center on
the candidate who declares himself IN
favor of q treaty regulating Chinese
immigration to this coast. The Chinese
nuisauce has become. almost intoler-
able here. There are at present 200, 900
OF these pests IN the Pacific coast. and
the number IL increasing ut the rate OF
5000 a month. They are not only the
dregs OF their own country, but abso-
lutsly tho vilest specimens of human
ity in the world.- In Virginia City
there are over ! 900 Chinese, of whom
about $50 are females. imported for The
vilest purposes. Both males and fe-
males are reeking with abOntiiiable DIS
eases, and the opium dens are not only
the resorts of the abandoned of their
own race, but of the whites. / have
heard Of instances of respectable young
boys and girls visiting these dens. But
tn give you IN idea OF half the vices OF
the Mongolians would requires special
letter. II you could know what we
who live here must Know you would
not think it strange that the ques
ton Of further Chinese Immigration
has become of sufficient importance
to enter into national politics. The
Democratic delegation Is divided as
bet Tilden and Thurman. Both
are recognized as statesmen having
co ual claims on the Democracy and
on their fellow citizens of all parties.
The question will certainly be settled
when it Is known how they stand un
the subject OF s"Chinese cheap labor"
A.. e. Ellis takes Thurman for his
first choice. Ttlden second and Hen
bricks third.
John II. Dennis has proclaimed
himself for Thurman first, Tliden sec
Ond and Hendricks third.
l have M teen able to reach John
G. Fall directly. but am informed by
gentlemen in his confidence that his
first choice is for Tilden; second,
Thurman; third, Hendricks.
X. r. Heating, OF Gold Hill, will not
attend the convention, but will he ref-
resented by his alternate, J.. A. Brum
>ey, OF Virginia City, who is unable to
make up his mind as between TiIden
and Thurman, but rather inclines to
Tilden. think you may score Bruin-
sey for Tilden.
r. L. Kelly says: "I'm for Governor
Tilden first and last"
John Z. Kaneen, Mayor of Virginia
City. is decidedly In favor of Tilden
for first choice and Thurman for Sec
ond. He considers Mr.. Tilden the
ablest man In the ranks OF the De-.
mOcracy, and one on whom the masses
OF the people would rally. Mr.. Ka.
neen does not believe this y. party"
can The time has come to sup
port the men who are known to pos
sess the moral cou ray and the inieg-
rity TO reform abuses in their own
| parties.
