DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.

The nominees of the State Democratic
Convention FOR State Treasurer and State
Superintendent Of Schools are men Of good
reputation, and properly qualified in all
respects for the Offices for which they have
been nominated. The ARGUS will give
them its hearty and unqualified support,
They are strong men, well versed in state
affairs, will command the full democratic
vote, and we look forward with confidence
to their election. AT the present time 1t
behooves every democrat to sink all per
sonal feeling, all, piques orsantipathies in
regard to the past, and to work earnestly
and tremendously with his fellow demo-
Gratis to elect the ticket The democratic
party has been in seeming minority in
this state for many years, and it has suF-
fered all the disintegration and democrat
ization which could possibly ensue from
the lukewarmness or desertion Of those
who aim always to be on the strong side,
or who have been tempted to leave for the
sake .of the honors and emoluments of
Office Even under the most adverse cir
cumstances the democracy of illinois have
always stood up manfully as party and
contended earnestly for the principles
which constitute democratic faith. Gradu-
ally the tide of political action has turned
and begun to flow in their favor: it will
continue to do so with increasing force and
strength, and the signs of the times are
propitiuos for success. The comfy mat
ter of regret, if such kind of detection can
be cause Of regret, is that men who have
in years past been known as democrats, land
have acted and voted with the democratic
party, should now in the day of approach
ing and certain success have left their old
political friends, and upon mere side
issuei committed themselves and their
political interests to an organization which
inherits and carries within itself the GER
tainty of premature dissolution. Still in
political as in other relations of life it is
sometimes an excellent curative to have
the dissatisfied elements act awhile by
themselves; little wholesome experience
Of the faulty and utter ineficiency Of a
meagre and hopeless minority is a valuable
lesson, and oftener than otherwise leads to
a renewal of former political affiliations.
The element which is now discordant,
discovered, and attempting to act by
itself, must naturally gravitate back into
the ranks of the democratic party,

Mr.. Hagerman, being q candidate, is
therefore, public property. This mention
of him by the Carson Appeal, the only
simon-pure Republican paper in Nevada,
is in order Of reproduction in the columns
of the SENTINEL. Says the appeal:
A certain domesticity Of habit, trace
able no doubt TOT prediction for the joys
of the home circle and the altar of family
morals has kept US, these many years,
from coming in contact with our widely
known fellow citizen Mr.. J. c. Hagernan
known in many quarters and regarded
with favor as a Democratic candidate for
honors gubernatorial. We have missed
something in not knowing Hagerman.
There is a certain bright CLEAN in his eyes
and a healthy tint in his complexion which
betokens the man Of sympathy and the
politician Of sauvity resource. A likely
man to capture a eross-road meeting and
set the boys to work with = will at a county
convention is this same brisk and bustling
Hagerman. He was on his way to Storey

There are many people il Eureka who
believe implicitly in cloudbursts. II their
theory be true, we must have had three
cloudbursts yesterday, for there were just
that many alarms sounded. There must
be de ,rees, too. in the business, for some
were larger and some smaller. 1t was no
ticeable, also. that we had heavy showers in
town, extending along up the canyon, just
prior to each burst" With all due
respect for the opinions Of others. we think
this cloudburst theory the merest nom
sense. The water deposited by a heavy
thunder shower in the mountains must
always come with q tumbling rush through
the single outlet of Eureka canyon. The
grade being steep accelerates its velocity,
and even in the town. where the canyon is
comparatively fiat. the food tide runs at
the rate of twenty miles per hour. This
gives it great force, causing it to be SO de-
structive to property.

viewia- h wreck.

From early dawn until late last evening
the streets we're lined with people viewing
the ravages Of the torrent. Some were out
in carriages, others horseback, and many
IN foot, including our best citizens Of
either sex. Many we're looking at the ruin
Of their own property, while others were
taking nm inventory o. the damage dcne to
their neighbors. 1t was a sad sight to see
the accumulation Of years If industry
and economy in one mass Of utter ruin,
and witness the crying of women and the
pale faces Of men, al they realized that
their all was lost. Many a strong heart
grew faint at u realization Of the circum-
stances. and thought Of the days Of toll
md deprivation in store before they would
again be so comfortably situated. Yet all
we're thankful that it had been no worse,
and that their lives had been spared.

Great complaint is being made against
the persons who. since the foods, have
sent teams down the valley and collected
property Of much value which did not be-
long to them. Several parties who had
lost property yesterday sent out men and
teams to collect some of the valuables,
but, much to their astonishment. found
that the food wreckers had carried of
