Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1876-11-09

BEAUTIFUL.-Amidst the strife, the
clash, the bitterness and the heart
burnings incident to the day of cleo
ton and the few days immedi ately
preceding, the weather still holds beau
tiful. The sun shines brightly, shed.
ding its warmth upon the successful
and defeated candidates alike, and
moves along on its way to San Fran
cisco regardless of whether Prodder is
elected or SkeeZicks is defeated. 1t
may be there are some men who think
the world ought TO stop going round
because they have been defeated, but
we "a INFORM them or the best au-
thoritv, based on precedent, thatit will
do nothing Of the kind, but will keep
right on until Gabriel blows his horn
and all things terrestrial go to eternal
smash. But we started to talk about
the weather, which is n of the most
prolific standby items in a reporters
repertoire. Well, then, the weather
thus far this week has been of the
mildest and O pleasant descriptions;
so warm as to render stoves a super
fluffy and overcoats a rarity. Yester-
day was an exceptionally fine day, and
it was taken advantage of by
Gus ladies to slip u and do their
shopping and show their new winter
bonnets ; and the presence of the fair
ones on Main street lent N air of gay
ETY. to that thoroughfare and had a sort
of softening influence on the harsh out
lines of the old stiffs who laid drunk
and asleep on the sidewalks. Truly,
the influence of woman is humaniz-
ing.
MUCH SCRATCHING.-Owing to the
large number of scratched tickets poll
cd at Tuesdays election, the count in
the two Eureka precincts vas not
completed until after five O'Clock last
evening. One thing, at least, was
demonstrated by this election viz
that the nomination by either political
party was not, by any means, equiva-
lent TO an election, as in days gon by.
Personal popularity and a little trading
were the factors which entered most
largely into the contest; and, taken all
together, it was about the worst mixed
election that the oldest inhabitant has
ever seen in this part of the country.
In the Second precinct the votes were
all counted, but the totals were not
added up, and the ballots and tally lists
were locked up under seal till this
morning, when the work. of getting at
the result was expected to be resumed
and completed.
ACCIDENT TO A LAZY. - Yesterday
afternoon, while a party of three ladies
were riding along the street which is
popularity known as Poverty Gnlch,
the horse which they were driving be-
came unmanageable. The vehicle in
which they were riding was what is
called a blackboard, and it was precip.
itated over high bank, which had
been graded out for the foundation OF a
house, and the occupants thrown to the
ground. Two of the ladies escaped
without injury, but the other, Mrs.
Baily, wife OF David f. Baily. struck
the ground with considerable force and
received Il severe cut in the forehead.
She WAS picked up and conveyed to
her home and DIR. Chamblin was called
to attend her. The Doctor dressed the
lady's wound and expressed the opin-
ion that, though painful and severe, it
was not necessarily dangerous.
RELICs.-Relics of the election Of
Tuesday were lying around loose yes
terday. They were in the shape of
men sleeping on the sidewalks and
woodpiles, where they had laid down
when overcome by a superabundance
of patriotic enthusiasm. Sic transit glo-
rious Tuesday. Free whiskyad tibitum
don't come every day in the week;
and the stiffs, considering that they
are hanging on the ragged edge of a
hard winter, are more to be pitied
than blamed for taking advantage of
the situation.
BALL PosPoNED.-The ball Of Knick-
erbocker Hose and Hook and Ladder
Co. which was announced to take
place tonight, is postponed to the
night of Thanksgiving Day. On ac-
count of the excitement incident of
the election, there has not been the
interest manifested in this ball which
the members of the company desire
to see displayed, and its postpone
ment is in order to give people time to
cool OIL and get down TO the legiti-
mate business of earning a living and
enjoying themselves.
TEAMS WANTED,-Teamsters are re.
ferred to the advertisement of Mr..
Everts, under the head of New To.
