Democratic Rally Tonight.

Inasmnch "a our Democratic fellow
citizens are without an organ in this
county we feel i, to be but an act OF l's
,ics that We should, even ut ;ne risk OF
seeming to intrude our services npon
that organization, endeavor to present
their case rs fairly and. indeed, as en-
Enthusiastically. as possible. We note
that Mr.. James Z. Dealy. Secretary OF
the Democratic Committee of Ormsby
County, has caused some posters to re
placed in conspicuous positions ah""t
the city. giving publicity to the fact that
n meeting will be held at the Carson
Thea,er this evening for the purpose OF
ratit.inc the nominations of Tilden ana
Hendricks and that those who are Tor
,unate enough TO be present Will be adj
dressed by Msssrs. Ogden Hl'es, NJ
Kirkpatrick and w. E. +. Deal OF |ir-
pinia City. and by Col. Ellis and General
Eit,reU Of Carson. We could, perhaps,
make a more satisfactory ailusion to Mr.
Hiles. the first named of these speakers
if we were better acquainted with bis
appearance and fashion of oratory. In
lac, We have never ha the pleasure OF
seeing or hearing him; bu: We believe he
has heretofore breathed forth the sent!-
n,ents of the Democratical heart upon
the grateful hills and smiling valleys Of
Humboldt County. What his manner
is, then, We are unprepared to say; but
We venture to guess that it canuot sur
pass IN impressiveness and picturesque
grandeur and in the attitude OF the true
American Orator, that Of our gifted and
graceful friend. General kittren. As TO
Mr. Kirkpatrick, We hare hear d him, and 1t
atfords US pleasure to statetnnt since his
earlier and we'll approved efforts N
Sierra County in orr parent State, We
have watched his political course win a
mingled sense Of sorrowful solcltud+
and hopeful admiration. that
one SO favored ty nature should so per
vert mis- handsous gifts, and hopeful OF
his being. as it were, finally snatched
like brand from the burning. MI ~.
will, we are quite sure. prove hlmseii
one of the happiest spologlsts of this
trying occasion. MIR. Deal is lawyer
whose badness, (he will pardon the al
| Iusiop J by no means does justice 10 his
ars. He is a much younger man than
, the top of his head would indicate. He
is a gentleman of excellent standing IL
his profession and as consistent Demo
era, as we are acquainted with. Ills
manner of delivery is that OF pleasing
compromise between the plain, business
like style of a we'll fed attorney in good
prsctics md a fervid rhetorician like
General Kittrell. "A to Col. Ellis he is
too well known IN Carson to need any
descriptive notice at our bands. lie is
the most conscientious man IN his party,
He is the only one of the five speakers

answered the call to arms when his ma

invaded by the insolent foe: and be now
adheres as he did even in the days of
Price and priceless patriotism, to the
glorious principles of the Democratic
party. 1t is unnecessary for us TO state
that he is the author Of that pencil
sketch of the horrors OF the Chinese
Question which was to have appeared IN
the National Democratic Platform but
which seems to have been surreptiiious-
ly rubbed out by the Secrstar- OF that
illustIious body. General kittrell, whose
name is last on the list, has appeared
before a Carson audience SO frequently,
| and acquitted himsel. with such marked
ability and eloquence that We need not
tell our readers what to expect from him.
If q Ciceronean purity of style can add
any cubits to the already lofty stature OF
| Nr. Tilden or augment the stalwart TO-
tundity of Mr.. Hendricks, Mr.. hlttreli
is the man for the occasion; and II
faithful advocacy of the Cause OF the
constitutional Democracy is to be &C
counted worthy of recognition and ap-
plause, the Generals coming upon the
| stage will be greeted with Il hearty Hail
| to the chief who in triumph advances.
Thus, with an impartial hand, have we
attempted to introduce these sponsors
of the Democratic National ticket to
their audience. Their attitude is none
the less interesting when We reflect that
they are all, (if We except Mr.. Hlles, OF
whose pedigres and antecsdents we are
quite igrorant), natives Of the sunny
south-ths land OF eloquence and the
homo and heart of the White Man
Government. All are invited to attend.
