THE TmIRD-rERM RING.
What an oil Warehouse of ncmOc-
racy has to Say About II.


racy has to Say About 1t.
The annexed communication is from the
pen of an old time Democratic wheel horse,
at one time a candidate on the Democratic
State ticket in Nevada, and always as firm
in the Democratic faith as the rock Of
Gibralter. He but echoes the sentiments
OF hundreds and hundreds Of Democratic
voters all over the State, as the third term
conspirators, whose policy seems to be to
rule or ruin, may yet learn to their sor-
row. As to the SENTINEL, however, it does
all of its fighting before the nominations
are made
EpIroR SENTINEL: In the editorial col
umns of the 9Th you ask Don't Gov
ernor Daggett kick though against the
action of the Central Committee of the
Republican party of Nye county 2" Dag
gett has most certainly made a very wild
and reckless kick, one that was given with
such force as to rebound and damage his
chances for the nomination, but is he not
right in principle? Is it not a high-handed
assumption of power when used in such a
way as to put a halter aroun the necks OF
the honest but modest portion of the party,
and thus muzzle the mouths OF a free and
independent people2 There seems to be a
purpose to do such work by both OF the
great parties. Democrats as well as Repub-
licans. and thus control the majority Of the
parties and people.
How is 1t bong done? You can see in
the first place the signs at least in putting
of the State Conventis n to so late a day,
SO as t0 have too little time for any indie
pendent movement by the masses. 1t
seems a purpose to force the free thinking
aud bold members of the community to
| take inst such pills as are issued, such can
| didates as arc thrust forward by cliques
and rings. 1t is a matter of fact that q
few men claiming to be Democrats, who
reside in San Francisco, assisted by a third
term ring in Carson, are turning the crank
and grinding out what we in Nevada must
| do, and first that we must by all means
support Bradley for q third term. They
ask who else have we to lead to success.
Our answer is that we have men by the
fifties who are more competent, equally
honest, and in every way better suited to
lead the party in the approaching cam
| paign but il it be a fact that no one else
! can be found competent for Governor, fill
| ing the Jeifersonian requirements ; II the
| Democratic party has ZONE worthy TO be
Governor or United States Senator in the
| State of Nevada except such men as
| Bradley, it is time to disband, and ask to
be attached to California.
Our motto is, and many of us mean it;
Let US have good men, worthy men, from
our own people, and we will be found do
| ing faithful work for our party, whom we
| think best calculated to administer the
| Government for the good Of the people.
In other words, give us an entire new deal,
no third termers or we mav be set down as
working on a n independent line. hitting
| wherever and whenever IN effective blow
can be given. II we are read out of the
party, so let it be our one-term principles
can never be smothered by puny threats OF
ostracism.
Daggett thinks the Republican party in
| Nye county ought to call a mass meeting
| and express their wishes as to a choice for
Governor. Would it not be well for the
people to meet in each county and express
themselves as to cliques and rings, aud by
| that means burst the entire states made by
| the third-term rings and California dicta-
ton.
We are in dead earnest when we say we
will not support a third-termer, and II
pressed too persistcntly we will make 1t
include all officers who seem to desire q
lifetime lease. We speak for ourself and
those who may think with us, and not for
the Democratic party, or to influence the
SENTINEL In the least.
Some worthy gentlemen ask as. Whom
can we run for Governor but Bradley? and
we answer Whom can we run who Is not far
superior TO him in point Of intellect, who
have vitality honesty, and at least COM
mon srnse2 u.
