DIN MEN TO THE REAR, NEW
wpy TO TTsE FRONT.


The Graphic has a leading editorial I'M
der tho above heading. While wo dc not
indorse all that it contains, we are con-
strained to believe that it fits the third
term ring of Nevada pretty closely. The
old hacks must get to the rear, and allow
new men to conduct the campaign this fall,
or all will be lost. A crowd of rank old
Office holders, sitting in the shade OF the
Capital and plotting from year to year to
retain their fat bilIets, hardly meets the
public appreciation at this time. Neither
do the people of Nevada care to be told
what they shall do in political matters by
a band Of ex-rebels residing in San Fran
cisco. And yet this is precisely the class
that is at the head and front Of the Bradley
third-term ring. There is not a so-called
"Chiv.'' to-day on the coast that is not a
pronounced Bradley man. This of itself
ought to be enough to beat him 1000 votes
in the State. We warn the Democratic
party that Nevada is a loyal State, and
whenever and as often as the issue shall

the wall. The chivalry element. SO
called, has been a milestone about
the neck Of the Democratic party for
fifteen years. Thousands Of good men
have been alienated from the party be-
cause, simply, it had fallen under rebel
control. 1t is rule or ruin with these
people. Half of them who shout for JEFF
Davis when drunk, vote the Republican
Broadhorns, and desire to perpetuate his
authority for life, for the reason that they
can use Broadhorns, and for the further
reason that the cold man" is as disloyal
as they, having sworn in the early stages
Of the late war never to cut his whiskers
until the Southern Confederacy should be
recognized as an independent Government.
The rebel wing of the Democracy own and
control Bradley as completely as Bradley
in former times owned and controlled the
slaves which he purchased on the border
and sold to the cotton States. Hence it
is that emissaries from the rebel wigwam in
San Francisco are sent out all over Nevada
to fix things for the old man for a third
term. But we cannot pursue this subject
further at the present time. We have
only alluded to it at all to invite attention
to the pressing necessity of allowing the
8 mudsills" of the party, WAC do the prin-
cipal part Of the voting, to have an equal
say in naming the men who are to be voted
for. We have no feeling against any one,
and personally would as soon vote for a
Confederate B~rigadier as anybody else, but
caution machine m%anipulators that
there is a large proportion Of the party
who will not follow to this extent. Fol-
lowing is what the Graphic has to say
about the general drift of public senti-
ment and the popular demand for new
men
The elections thus far held this year are
anything but encouraging to the old par
ties. Generally speaking. the aim OF the
people seems to be to 'smash the machine
let us lave new men at the front-glve
those who nave dom the voting for years
and years a chance to go before the people
as candidates for office. In the North,
where the Republican party has enjoyed
o monopoly of power for o number OF years
back. the popular tendency is, by means
of Independent movements, Granger
movements, Greenback and National
movements, to break up the old monopoly
of power. 1t is not u tendency towards
Democracy, but it is a tendency to push,
as has been done in California, the Conser-
vative elements of the two old parties into
one and make a party OF progress out OF
the dissatisfied elements in each. In the
South, where the Democratic party has
been successful along the whole line, the
movement threatens its leaders with de-
struction. Boiling is regular now. In the
North Carolina State election IN Thurs
day, the independents" those who re-
fused to abide by caucus dictation, seems
to nave been successful in e~lecting
enough members TO hold the bal
ance of power n succeed in
defeating Vance-the s.machine" candi-
da.e for the United States Senate. Among
the significant facts connected with the
is this, tina in Republican coun-
ties the Democrats have been successful,
while on the other hand, in Democratic
counties, Republican candidates for the
Legislature have been elected. The Ma
tional movement has made considerable
HI adway in North Carolina, but tn figures
are too meagre, as yet, to warrant the
drawing Of any safe conclusions In tue
city Of Memphis, where ordinarily the
Democrats are in a large majority, the Ma
tionals anl Independents and boilers sue
cesded in achieving a complete victory the
other day in the municipal election. Now
it will not do TO look upon the new move
ment in the South as u revival Of Republic
canism, any more than the new movem mt
in the North IL a revival of Bourbon De-
mocracy. Both ar protests against hi 5h-
handed party management and evidences
that the time has come for new public
issues in this country. The Democratic
party Of the South has hal too much vic
tory. The South was too unanimous. All
the members OF the dominant party
could not be provided for, nor
placated, nor held in the traces. 1t
was inevitable that when there was no
overwhelming necessity-as slavery, as
long as it existed, waste bind all the
voters OF a section to n party, a party
co npletely triumphant would go to pieces.
We are Just at the beginning of Democratic
d~isintegrasion in the South. AID its final
contamination will vindicate the wisdom
Of the Administration in letting the South

eral interference, though this generation
will hardly live to witness a revival Of
Southern Whiggery. The leaders Of the
old parties might as well make up TIN If
minds that there is for them a very dan
gerous feeling abroad. The people think
they have had all the opportunity they are
deserving of, and that they should give
