The weekly Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1872-1887, 1876-10-08

t03C, has done much TO fire the Demo-
cratic heart. Commencing next week,
ten thousand copies will DO issued ,,ai-
Is to supply the Increasing demand
from the interior. The Democrats
have long felt the want OF II progressive,
live organ. They have it now, in the
XcruiI.
Tho following extracts are from the
speech Of cx-GoyernGr Parker of New
jersey, OH being nominated Temporary
Chairman of the Democratic Electoral
Convention of his State, on the 18th OF
las, month:
Gea;lemcH Of tie Generations: Accept
my thanks fox The honor conferred.
You have met 10 nominate electors,
whose duty it will he, If your choice be
confirmed by q majority of tho legal
voters of New Jersey, to cast tho cleo
toral vote Of the State for President and
Vice President of tho United States.
Candidates for the Presidency have
been named by the respective parties.
Fearing ts present the record Of their
party .squHrely and boldly to The coun.
try. the Republican Convention thrust
aside pro:ninen: and able leaders, and
nominated gentleman who, while
welded TO the ultra dogmas Of his party,
and approving all the iniQuitous acts
OF the Federal Administration, is still
comparatively obscure. II is true lie
served i'll the army, but where, when
and how did he distinguish himself?
1t is TRUE lie served in Congress, but
villa; great measure did he originate or
evcn advocate III such way rs to at
tract attention? When lie was nomin-
ated not one III ten thousand Of his own
party knew that lie had been III the
array or Congress. With such fields
for distinction u man fit for the Prcsi-
dcncy would have done something to
raise him above the level OF mctliucritv.
ShoulL lie DC elected there is no doubt
that the mcn who control tho present
Administration will remain all power
fTi, and that the country would have Il
continuation of the present policy and
methods.
The candidate of tho Democracy, on
the contrary, Is a man of the highest
order OF talent. lie is thoroughly
vcrscd i'll the principles of governmental
science, AMI is also possessed of con-
summn;c executive ability. That lie
has the learning and experience TO en-
able him 10 rcscuc the government from
the rsrils by which it is cnyiron.d
cannot be dorhtcd, and is not denied.
But opposition papers which were
formerly iillcd with praises Ct our cam
didatc have, since His nomination,
opened the Walls of nbnsc and are now
daily publishing the most malicious
ISLANDERS against his private character.
This is not The occasion to notice in de-
tail the fulsity Of these charges. Time
will not permit. 1t is sufficient now for
Inc 10 say that they relate TO n period Of
time long anterior to his candidacy FOX
the Goyernorship OF New York. His
character, private and public, was then
discussed for moathS throughout tho
Empire State, where lie had passed lis
whole life and WAS best known, and the
result was that Samuel j. Tiidcn was
elected Governor by $4,000 minority
over The most popular man in The Re
publican party. This verdict OF his
nciGhboTs YVES an emphatic denial OF
tho base ISLANDERS at that tuuc, and il
will be found that the people Of the
country will regard tho record OF that
verdict 10y the yicinngc, conclusive rs
To his private character. As The lawyers
say, the result of that election should
operate as IN cs:oppcl to SANDER.
The object OF thcsc attacks upon Mr..
Tildcn is well understood. Tie record
OF tho Radical party, which The Cincin-
natl Convention Endorsed and approved,
will not bear the test OF examination.
