WHY THE "TlMES" WAS PUB.
LISHED TO-DAY.

Our Democratic friends have been
much exercised, since they have
heard that the TnRs would be pub
lished to-day at the request of the
Republican County Central Com
mittee, lest something should be
sprung" They will doubtless be
surprised, when they see this issue,
not to find in it anything objection.

paper was only prepared in order

cations which might be sprung from
their hastings, last evening. Had

ton and Sutro, and thus alarmed the
Republicans, the TINES would not
have been published before to-mor-
row-the regular day of issue. Had
this paper been controlled entirely
by Democrats, we hardly believe
that they would have shown the
same moderation as the Republi-
cans have, not only latterly but
since the beginning Of the cam.
paign.

KEEP THIS PAPER.

We want every Democrat into
whose hands copy Of this issue of the
TINES will come, to keep it for future
critical reading. Not that there is any.
thing brilliant about it, but in order
that they may feel, in all future cleo.
toral campaigns, that they have nc
unfairness to dread from US, even
though they may have given cousid'
cradle cause for offense. As the
TIMES has been conducted this cam.
psign, 30 will it be in future, as long
- we are connected with it.

4 CORRECTION.

In the review of the Lyon county
Democratic ticket published in our
last issue we Internationally did w.
N. Battersby, one of the Democratic
nominees for the Assembly, an in.
jury, in stating that he has been a
candidate for Office before. Mr.
Battersby has not been a candidate
for Office before.

W. R. KING.

Throughout the campaign which
will close to-day no name has been
oftener spoken in this county, by
friends and foes, than that which
heads this article; but no dishonor-
able act has ever been charged against
the man who bears it, even by his
bitterest opponent. What ISLANDERS
will be put in circulation about him
to-day we know NOT, but this much
we will say, that squarer, better,
"whiter" man than he never lived in
this county; and if any Republican
should refuse to vote for him he
would not jeapordize his election,
for that is assured, but he would be
doing himself, as man and q citizen,
grievous wrong, and might be
working an irreparable injury to the
county at the same time; for while
most of the mills in it are idle for
years at time Mr.. King manages
to keep that of which be is superin-
tendent running nearly all the time,
and thus benefits, directly or indi-
rectly, every man, woman and child
in the county.

WORK WITH A WILL!

As We 60 to press the outlook
throughout Lyon county is most en-
couraging. Unless leading citizens
are very much deceived, the county
will 60 for Daggett, Kinkead, and
the Legislative ticket by a majority
of between $50 and 200. This is the
prospect, but to accomplish that re.
suit all Republicans must work with
= will from the opening to the clos.
ing of the polls.

LOOK OUT FOR BOGUS TICK.
ETS.

There are doubtless many bogus
tickets out, and it behooves all to
scan their ballot carefully before
casting it. Otherwise obnoxious
candidates may be voted for. Early
voters should be especially careful,
as bogus tickets are oftenest voted
early, before it is known that there
are any around.

great secessionist to-day as he ever
was, and that he still refuses to cut
or trim his beard for the same rea-
son as before, to-wit: because the
debt incurred by the Confederacy
during the war is not yet paid. Any
man who believes that that debt
should not be paid should therefore
do his utmost to keep Governor
Bradley and his fellow "Chivs" ou

THE ASSESSOR NOT TO BLAME.

The item regarding the decrease in
the valuation of property since last
year, has caused an unjust impression
to prevail in Silver City. This should
not continue. The falling-off in val :
uation has been general throughout
the State, and to a greater degree
than in this county. But, with US,
the direct cause has been the general
shutting down of our mines and
mills, and the consequent decrease in
property. Any property-owner in
this city would gladly accept, in pay
ment for his property, seventy five
per cent. of what he asked last year.

THE DEMOCRATS WEAKENING
ON BRADLEY.

A day or two ago Governor Brad
ley called on L. T. Fox, j. C. Currie,
and other prominent Democrats of
Storey county, and asked them to
ride with him from poll to poll, on
election day, and 10 have men sta
toned at convenient points to cheer
him. The gentlemen referred to
would not listen to the proposition.
The "old man" insisted, then begged,
and even besought them to do as he
wished; but the Democratic caders
persisted in their refusal to be par
ties to such fraud on the people,
and the unreconstructed rebel finally
left them in disgust. This is an in
discation of the low estimation in
which Governor Bradley is held by
even the most prominent of his ex-
partisans. The fact il that, If the
campaign were to continue month
longer, Bradley would not have a
corporal's guard of followers.

THE LATEST DEMOCRATIC
ISLANDER.

Onr Democratic friends are very
persistent In their attempts TO injurt
Daggett with the Workingmsn; and
Notwithstanding the fact that al
their charges against him thus fs'
have, boomerang-like, reacted IN
/ his favor, they continue to make
them, in the hope that citissns who
hear of!them may be led to believe
that ,thers Is some truth in them.
Their latest effort in this direction Il
the circulation Of . slanderous cir
sular purporting to give . correct
version of the way in which the re-
cent reduction Of about ten per cent,
In the wages Of printers on the Com
stock was brought about. We have
already, in previous issues, shown
wherein Daggett had not only be-
frisnded tho Union printers, but
had actually SAVED THEIR UNION
from disruption by driving . whole
crew Of "rsts" or non-union printers
from the Enterprise, and filing
their places with Union men. We
will therefore confins our remarks,
In this article. to pointing out tho
hagrant fslsshoods In the latest
circular issued by the "Chivs.,"
which are contained in the follow
ing extract:
This was of course refused, for the
reason that at 70 cents per 1000 ems .
good printer cannot average so cents
IN hour. Compositors on daily pa
pers work from IL to Is hours day,
and their average earnings are not
above $50 . week. ar
A compositor who cannot earn
so cents an hour at 70 cents per 1000
ems would not be tolerated . week
In any vell.rsgulstsd daily news
paper ONCE, the test OF an "average"
compositor being that be shall dis
tribute, Get and correct at least 1000
ems per hour. At 70 cents per 1000
ems, an average compositor must
earn at least 70 cents per hour, Or
to use an expression of the craft-he
10 "blacksmith."
The statement that the average
earnings of compositors working
IL to Is hours day are not above
$50 week, Is 10 grossly false as to
be ridiculous. This writer worked
on the Enterprise for months and
his earnings were from as to above
$50 wesk-and he never worked
Is hours . day, either.
Now, . last word to workingmen.
This writer has for over twelve years
been . member Of the International
Typographical Union. With him
lealty to trades-unionism outranks
even devotion 10 party. II he did
not KNOW r. M. Daggett to be .
much better friend to the working
man than Mr.. Deal, he would not
support him. But knowing r. M.
Daggett to be as good friend as
any workingmsn need look for, he
urgently asks all who can to vote
for him.

If Daggett, Kinkead, and the

that every idle man now on the Com.
