WHAT A REPUBLICAN SAYS.
The Record Of Candidate. and
"a bit Of secret History.
RUMBobpr, Nov. 8, 1876.


Ed. SILVER STATE; As the eve of
election is de.~iag near. desire to
say few Sord- to the voters of the
county; and yeuy j3ornal has a larger
circulation throsgh the different parts
ri the comfy than the Daily Register,
4 would rather speak through IT'S col.
unus: | have geper voted any other
than the Republican isket ia my life,
and only Gu very rare occasions have
L ever scratched nav ticket; bat as |
consider that the Interests Of the peo-
pie have been tgampled upon by t 10 re-
denominations of john Boriaud for the
important Office of Commissioner.
which four years trial has proved bim
utterly incompetent to fill. l inte,id
not oniy to scratch his rame from my
ticket, but TO use my Influence fer
what it Is worth against bin; aud tue
Sest manner | know "f is. to refresh
the peoples minds with SONS of his
past transactions AS an officer. tot eth
er With some OF his eatsi L. nffairs.
In the frst place vii call attention
20 his connection With the letting OF tue
Co1ri-hense Contract. 1t is useless to
comm mt GA that Transaction. rs ev ry-
body is familiar With it. He has taken
before the Board petition asking for
an appropriation to build bridge
across the Humboldt river opposite his
place, to ~ccommodats few per-
scns that could about as well cross a
bridge near Oreana his obj doubt
less being seif-interest, to secure the
little trade. which would amount to a
few dollars Year. Aside from his
constant plumbers aud bis utter paal-
lanimity and incom peteucy. t. ii II ia 1t
important position. there are other i'm
portant reasons why he should not re-
ceise the support OF the hoaest Repub
iican voters: His business il directly
CuuucCteu Win tue teHJFdl 1dCluc
Il abroad Company. aud frem it he
makes his living. consequently he is
unit to be member OF the Board of
Equalization, as he dare net work for
the interests ot the people, when they
conflict with the Interests OF the com
pany. And another reason is, because
prior to last election, whea il was found
olt that Sharon had sent money 10 our
county to be used for elec;ioneering
purposes, MIR. Borlaud went to certain
candidates asd demanded money. With
threat that If he (JJhu Borland) did
not receive it, he would vote and work
against the ticket. Now, | submit it to
all honest-m tnded persons. whether a
man that woald stoop to such an ex.
tortioa, deserves the vote of his party
or not; they were compelled to give
him "hush money" after which he
went to Carson for the purpose OF get
ting more. but was refused.
My authority for the above assertion
Is reliable man, who was personally
Interested in the election OF 1874. Are
the voters of this county going to over
look all these things. aud with broad
grin, aud glass of eighty-rod whisky
be led to support man of this kind :?
Let every houest voter answer this, by
cancelling his name from their ticket
aud placing thereon the name of Mr..
Westfa!l. "A man whose business is in no
way connected with the interests of cor
porations.and who is highly competent
aud at perfect liberty to represent the
best Interests of the people.
