CARSON CITY. Aug. IA, 1876.
EDITORS SENTINEL: The record that
the Republican party has already
made for itself is scarcely less infA-
nous than is the present persistent
course of its leaders in pursuing their
efforts to destroy common sense by tho
creation Of an additional load of preju-
dice upon tho mind where common
sense should be taught to remain. 1t
does seem as though those heartless
political Satanists are becoming SO de-
PRAYED that should they totally wreck
the Government they have 30 terribly
scarified, and destroy the liberties Of
every citizen thereof, their political de-
pravity would not permit q sign Of
sorrow or n OF repentance. You, rs
others, have noticed the Republican
papers OF this State, from the largest
down to the most pitiful thumb paper,
practicing the spreading of prejudice.
The party being entirely void of virtue
or soil upon which the seeds OF virtue
can be proitably sown. the leaders
and managers of it do vilely ssok every
subterluge within reach to divert at
tention from their W misery -produc-
ing conduct. Such subterfuxes is con-
Meeting tho name of Tilden with those
names and figures "Tiiden and Tweed"
"Tiiden with Morrissey," "1iIden in
1854" There is nothing in all this
kind Of stuff that interests common
sense, which wants and need some

beneficial. These papers can not re-
Ter to the situation of the humble Ia
bOrer unless with the endeavor to de-
ceive and mislead. That the Demo-
cratic party has always fostercd labor,
ard tbst the Republican party has ten
ded to PROSTATE 1t. are>facts well known
to every intelligent editor Of Nevada.
The main reason why The Democracy
has ever ard so constantly gave its
strength in support of labor, is that
since the day of the Declaration of In
dependence they have regarded labor
a. the base upon which the life
and prosperity OF the Republic rests,
and when even opportunity offered
never failed to give proof of that esti-
mate. 1t would be interesting ii these
Republican papers wonld give the rec
ord Of tho California Democracy upon

This record truthfuliy given to the
people Of this section ut this time
: would certainly be interesting ana re.
: mind many Of the old Pacific coasters
[ OF the good old days OF Democratic
rule under which tho lsborers we're
truly tho lord. of the land, though it
! would have bad effect upon the Rs
publican ballot, a. every laboror who
would read could see his friend, and
] the moro constant the look ut the
. friend the clearer tho view Of Democ.
: racy. The Democracy gave us tho
coast with its mountains, plains and
gulches, for the benefit OF labor.
t 1t gave California . wise State govern.
ment with a constitution that prohibited
every character Of slavery from com
3 ing in contact with free American labor,
guarding labor from evils that might
rise from merciless corporations or
speculative capital In aggregated forms.
The exertions OF Democracy in the in
terest OF the people M their humble
labor kept OH Congressional interfer.
ence with the mineral lands of Cali.
fornIa, that the American laborer, ma
. tive and foreign born, could " and
l work tho mines without price, tax OF
: hindrance OF Federal or State officials;
to establish their own boundaries OF
their mining districts; make their own
laws to regulate and govern each other
In their privileges and rights, and their
laws recognized i'm all the Courts oil
r Justice as among the governing laws
Of the State, and laws that settled all
: MISUNDERSTANDING Whenever courts
j were appealed to. Then it was that
the laborer with tho pick, the scalpel,
or any instrument, professional oI
: otherwise, dwelt harmoniously, inde.
pendently and equally together under
a Democratic reign of peace; and All
with 4 voice free to s~peak-tha people
g gov6rned; the people were the masters;
the officers under and of the law were
Q tho servants. No inferior race was
J. then permitted TO encroach upon and
ruthlessly trample under foot the
American laborer, AS under Re-
publican power. AS the gate to our
D shores could not be legally closed to
tho Chinese, the Democracy, ever
q watchful of the interest of the people,
: did all in their lawful power that
a seemed calculated to check any injury
that might follow their coming, and
r the levying of a heavy license upon
Q the Chinese miner appeared at that
. date sufficiently powerful to reach the
. object. A search over the track OF
( havoc, made by the Republican party,
an act will not be found that has not
! ope rated injuriously to the welfare OF
the humble laborer and in favor of ty-
~rannical monopolists. And now they,
the Republican party, open their cam
. paign with a promise to investigate the
Chinese question. Such nonsense for
! an attempt to deceive an intelligent
t class OF voters who are unable to await
the uncertain result of such proposed
, investigation! The Democracy at st.
Louis gave out no such artifice to trick
the people; but boldly and plainly
gave the people to understand what the
result of the election OF Tilden and
!: Hendricks would be. Yours,
WEST.
