THOSE RESOLUTIONS.
II is a pleasant sight to see a rat gnaw-
<pg a file. To be sure, 1t isn't such a joy
GUS pastime for the rat as 1t is fer a disin-
terested observer. The refined gentlemen
who conduct the Enterprise newspaper,
with the occasional assistance Of the would
be Lieutenant Governor, are at the present
time engaged in the delightful occupation
Of f1e-gnawing.
The resolutions introduced by Mr.. Davis,
Of Carson, and adopted As a part OF the
platform by tine Democratic Convention Of
this State, have stirred to the deepest
depths the Indignation of these brave
knights Of the quill and sci 'sors. These res
~olutions, in strong, terse terms, ar
raign the Republican party for the
crimes committed in its name during the
psst fifteen years. The charges are plain
and direct, and the proof Of their truth is
50 overwhelming that SO far, at least, in
this campaign, the only answer Of Repub-
lican papers has been more like the reply
Of . fishwoman than the argument Of an
s'oducated gentleman"
III you have no case, BLACKBOARD the
plaintiffs attorney"
This is the precept followed by the En-
te,prise and Appeal, and a food-gate Of
abuse is opened upon the author of these
resolutions, and he is called a s'rebel,'
and something is said about unpaid wash
bills. Unpaid wash-bills, forsooth "Peo-
pie who live in glass houses should not
throw stones"
After exhausting q vocabulary of abuse
upon Mr.. Davis, the Enterprise, for the
past two weeks, has been almost daily
preaching q sermon to its readers, with
one Of these resolutions as a text and,
like the preaching Of many ministers, the
text Is always superior to the sermon.
Those resolutions declare that the Re
publican party has given away the public
sdomain to railroad corporations has been
the plant tool and servant OF ell the
monoplies in the land has, through its
officials, stolen millions from the treasury
Of the nation. Who has the s'cheek Of
brass" to deny these things? The Enter
prise, whose editor wants to go to Con-
gress, gets mad at these charges and calls
people bad names, while the Appeal, whose
editor wants to be Governor, ia case OF
Bradley's death, gets funny and maudlin
and unintelligible, upon reading these
horrible resolutions.
Gentlemen candidates and editors, take
4 little advice: Do net attempt to gnaw,
much less to eat, this file; choose a more
pleasant and profitable business. For in
stance, tell the people Of Nevada what
John H. Kinkead has done for the State to
.entitle him to be its Chief Executive. In
form us, if you please, what honest act of
r. NJ. Daggett's should place him in the
halls Of Congress, or why should Mighels
leave his type and paper for the State
capital?
II these are questions hard to
answer, You can leave them alone.
Amuse yourselves by calling Bradley a
bo0r, and KittrelI q fugitive from his
country. You did this, and did it long
and well, just four years ago. 1t will not
do 70 call you Bonrbons, for you say that
Is . nam to be applied TO Democrats alone;
but il is certain that you gain nothing by
experience, and disaster only makes you
more stupid and unreasonable. Or yet, il
may be the right thing for you to boast Of
what you did in the late civil war, or what
you would have done if you could, or could
have done II you would. Write something
pleasant or fierce about all these subjects
but please leave those horrid resolutions
alone. and do not gnaw tho file every day
in the week.
