Ought e Resign.


The people Of Nevada are becoming
more and more DESTROYS that Senator
Sharan should resign his seat in the
United States Senate. Now that there
ID a certainty that John z. Jones will
be re elected. it becomes u matter Of
great importance that he should be as
sisted in the great work that he las be-
gun-the silver question--on which
much more remains to be done. During
most Of Jones' term in the Senate he
has been the only representative from
Nevada IN that branch of tho National
Congress, and although none deny but
what he has done molly and succeeded
in bringing Nevada and it's interests
prominently forward, he should have
help. And unless thee is u certainty
That Dir. Sharon can be i'll his seat reg
ularly during the balance OF his Term. in
justice to his constituents he should re-
sign on the %convening of the Lelisla-
ture,in order thai some one may be
elected that will attend. So far Sharon
has been absent. and for the future
there aIp.ars to be no guarantee, far
Their than mere occasional newspaper

The Portland daily press., 1878-09-24

SECRETARY SHERMAN's disavowal or
rather explanation, of the views attributed to
him by Washington paper will be received
with relief and satisfaction by hard-money
men. Indeed there was a general dis
position to distrust the original account;
for the people could not bring them
selves to believe that so able man as John
Sherman would throw away his one chance
to earn the thanks of his countrymen and the
admiration of posterity. If, during his ad-
ministration of the Treasury, he succeeds in
bringing back this country to the use of a
currency redeemable in coin, he will connect
his name with an honorable epoch in our
history; and years hence when most of our
public men are forgotten, he who brought
about the resumption of specie payments
will be classed with the greatest financier we
have ever known, Alexander Hamilton. Mr..
Sherman has been often accused of time
serving and timidty, of lack of positive con-
victions on the currency question. He has
now the opportunity to show that these &C.
cusations have no foundation. 1t cannot be
believed that he will fail to seize 1t.
The Portland daily press., 1878-09-24

The Troy Times says: "Mr. Blaine proved
himself to be sagacious statesman when he
put the Republican party OF Maine npon
platform which maintained the national
honor and declared for currency that would
be as stable as the government itself. He
foresaw the hypocrisy of Democratic profess
sions. He knew that the Democratic party
of Maine would not be true to the principles
it had adopted, and that when the struggle
came it would desert the professed principles
of half century and practically join hands
with the advocates of unlimited imitation and
irredeemable paper money to defeat the Re-
publican party. He thus placed the Republi-
can party of the Union on a solid, hard
money platform, from which hereafter no
man can drive or delude it. Mr.. Blaine has
shown not only an exalted patriotism, but
the patience of statesman, and he may say
with Henry Clay, 81 would rather be right
than be President"
