tglG VOICE OF AN EXCITED CANDI-
DATE.

fsl Rosn it tried once, seen more votes cast
-. urinary election held in that way than
.-a.:t subsequently cast at the general election;
sal no cannot help hooking upon it as lam
'atab5y demoralizing plaza plan in fact,
&loh, 81 a remedial agent is good deal
-.evrs6 than the evils it was meant to cure.
> Il anything were needed to illustrate the
ssraar1lizing effects of that plan, the recent
sd ana painful, not to say eccentric and
BARRING symptoms exhibited by our roly poly
&C hitherto jolly and cheerful friend, Dag
49,, 1ould supply the needful but awful ex-
zS1pl4- The very name, the mere discussion
81 tSle Crawford Plan, seems to have set our
I'D fabbergasted. He strikes wild at every
-<%ssEs; and being tripped and thrown by his
'Hva 1Eisdirected exertions, comes up very
,ssNg.,y and in state of lamentable discour-
s-ssuSzt. In yesterdays Enterprise this de-
-aHzed condition is more than distress
scs.ly evident. Our friend attacks the Nye
ol+Sulttg Central Committee with direful vehe
las.aoo, accusing them of having committed
es1. lie calls an Outrage" i'll one article;
I'D e another he complains because his plan,
s,semlted to the Republican press for
s'a4y opinions, does not meet with their con
-sarrence. He is very Jealous; but he is not
e. sasrTatner consistent and not quite cool.
IL the Nye County Convention could do so
vaztrs ordinary thing as to adopt Bro. Dag

Cry &c denied the right to do what they have
q,se2 Certainly there are abundant presidents
.T,y tlrs appointment and instruction of dele

.-. a.EIy certain that, i'll Nye county, at least,
ta,1tn is no precedent for the PRONUNCIATION Of
re Crawford Plan--or, if yoh please, the
@ya2cet. Plan, The fact Is, it is vet to be de-
a..rmjuGd what County Central Committee
-zty lrct de-. As to the matter of appointing
,}er7tos, the Nye County Committee are
ssytEitd by the very strongest kind of prece
taut They are Justified by no less high
sllhority than the State Central Committee,
ashe, il 1876 appointed the six delegates who
r :prcacuted this State at the Cincinnati Con-
reutim Aud if County Committee may
l>pou1, why may they not instruct? Doubt
,-ss il is to be dep'ored that there is not some
as.l fvl,Y defined, arbitrary plan by which to
asIect me delegates of the counties to the
tate Convention; but inasmuch as the Coun-
~ CeuiIal Committees derive their authority
tEyo.a the county conventions, and are there
fSre the true and indisputable agents of the
.a,srty, clothed with all the authority that any

.i1eu., and not any outsider, not even a can
!jdate for Governor or Lieutenant Governor,
- determine what, i'll their Judgment, is the
Best and wisest course for the party to pursue.
We cannot doubt that our somewhat excited |
5giepd Of the Enterprise will admit that the
siortion or Reputation of his plan rests en-
.lrely with the Central Committee Of Storey |
;oi'Hty, and that their disposal of the ques-
lion will be final so far as this years prima-
y!es ere concerned.
We are all more or less slaves to our own
selfish impulses and ambitions. If the some
what diilident and retiring editor of the Morn
sNG APPEAL were, as he is said to be, land rs
yet he may beg a candidate for Lieutenant
governor, and should use his own paper as
Sehiclc within which to advance his interests,
fshich he may do-risking the unpopularity
zi the movement and the dubious clientage
4.l0 advocacy thereof, he might be found
7zaspecting about in odd corners and among
ia maps and devices for some such a contri-
VaIce as seems to have dazzled the ardent
sision of our brother of the Enterprise, who,
81 lie is pleased to intimate has been besought
with ia irresistible beseeching by his very
2srge troupe of friends to give Ter his literary
yUrsuits and consent to take upon himself the
sarea and responsibilities, vexations and siren
Ious labors of candidate for Governor.
Het we each, i'll his place and part, do what
sge,helieye to be the wisest and best, some
times with a regard for the proprieties and
sometimes, alas! with a disregard thereof.
We are all very fallible and very selfish, be-
Eag very human and very prone to err S
Some people prefer a short cut; some prefer
4 long one. The Crawford Comfy Plan seems
AoMs to be a much longer cut than the Nye
county Ian The politicians of the good old
ssuuty of Crawford in Pennsylvania, where

lance of 5oisure ON their hands, take month
