COM MUNICATTOE.
Opening Of the camplisn.

quite Il large anu curious cfGWd
at the courthouse on Sat
Irday to hear what the Democratic
candidates might say OF II another.
On the whole there was both disap-
.point'nent and qualification.
Family jars are often spicy and
the thoughtless always cheer when
the fur flies, but the more solid por-
ton of mankind experience no de
light when their representatives are
attacked. This is especially the case
when those representatives cannot be
held up to ridicule without slashlng
the party to which they belong. For
tunately not much Of that sort was
attempted and hence the mixed feel
ing of disappointment aud gratilica-
ton.
he discussion was opened by NJ
I. Duncan, Esq, who gave Il sketch
of his public life. We were rather
surprised at the number OF times he
had been a candidate and been de-
featcd. The tenacity of the aspira-
ton for office that he exhibits certain
ly deserves success. His eulOgy of
OF the National Democracy was ul-
eXceptionable, but we thought his st
tack upon the Legislature i'll coIlsid-
cred. That body is not to blame for
revising the statutes at the first ses-
sion after the adoption Of the present
constitution, and its provisions for
the selection of Il temporary circuit
judge when that office is disabled,
was certainly cOmmendable. In
reaching after Mr.. Mcintyre, Mr..
Duncan made it apparent that the
former was an active and influential
member Of the Legislature and held
prominent positions ON important
committees. Mr.. Duncan closed by
pledging his support to " measures.
One the reduction o. interest to six
per cent. and the other the casting OF
his vote for the Hon. &. II. ~Ilar<iin
! for L. s. Senator. if so inst ucted 10y

In commencing his reply Mr.. Ne

~disenea9e himself from them. Once
relieved he embarked boldly on his
theme with ringing voice and i~nciSive
senter &c. He shirtcl no RESPONSE
hility. He WAS prepared to aNOw and
defend every vote he had given. IL,
showed that the Legislature had
enough to 90 III adapting the law Il

Convention of Nevada in 1878. 1t ia
difficult for men of ordinary intelii-

mel, whose prejudice against Bradley
warps its judgment. it is plain that
if the Democrats of Nevada nomi
nate a constable for q third term,
the Republicans will have Grant
for their standard bearer in
the next Presidential campaign.
The Democracy Of NsYada should not
