rnrcATUD GENTLEMEN.

EDUCATED GENTLEMEN.
The Republican press of Nevada has
commenced q campaign of froth and fus-
t;.n The editors of the two leading Re-
publican papers in this State are eandi-
d.tes for high positions on their party
ticket. No sooner had those gentlemen
obtained their nominations at Eureka by
what we're regarded a series Of tricks and
acts Of ingratitude by scores Of members
Of their own party, who were present at
the Republican State Convention, than
there was begun In their respective papers
an attack upon the character, talents and
education Of their political opponents.
These fine, high-toned gentlemen have
discovered all OF once that only
men OF culture and refinement should
be allowed to run for Office in
the State of Nevada. An honest
man Is called q boor, and those persons
only are fit for offices Of honor and trust
who can write high-sounding editorials,
or squeeze the most wit and fun out Of
very questionable English.
The burden Of the song of the papers
conducted by these two candidates, is to
this tenor What fine, well educated fell
lows we are, and what an ignoramus the
present Governtr isl
The small parrots Of the party repeat the
song, and thus the whole Republican press
Of the State is fast becoming imbued with
the idea hat Republican editors are the
only Americans who can read and write.
Let us take . look at the matter:
Who in the broad State Of Nevada be-
lieves that Daggett, il he should be elected
TO Congress, would make a better record,
or appearance, il you please, in the Ma
tional Legislature. than Bradley has in the
Office Of Governor for the past eight
years7 Who in this sage brush
land thinks for one moment that
Mighels. if elected Lieutenant Governor.
would carry - honest q heart into that or
ace - Old Broadhorns has borne these
many years IS Executive of the State Z Inc
CRY Of ignorance and want of education is
rs old as the other calumnies OF this
campaign. The people Of Nevada have
passed upon that question twice. In two
elections they have pronounced against
these foolish charges.
We warn these kid-gloved editors Of the
hard fate which overlook Tritle, and Of the
destruction which came upon Hazlett.
OF course, the warning will not be
needed. The ''bloody shirt and ''Bradley's
gross ignorance are the campaign stock-in-
trade Of these Republicans, and though the
late civil war and the war on Bradley must
be fought over again during this month,
there can be no doubt Of the result. The
same defeat awaits Kinkead that has buried
Of sight his two highly educated and
very refined predecessors.
These SAINT Republican newspapers seem
bound to kill Kinkead. They call him a
man Of great education and refinement.
The same old story. So were Tritle and
Hazlett.
We would ask, however, in all serious
ness, to what extent is James H. Kinkead
an educated man?
Can he make . speech? When nomi-
at Eureka his attempt to return
thanks to tue Convention was worse than
. schoolboy's failure. Bradley is no ora
tor, but he makes as good an appearance
before an audience as this educated gen.
Can he write? If he were called upon to
make . speech in this campaign, DaSget
would be compelled to write it, but it is to
be hoped the latter gentleman would not
undertake to deliver it, for Daggett can
shed ink" but he becomes stage-struck
before a crowd of upturned faces.
Is he a good business mar Why,
everybody knows he has been a failure in
that line from the time he left Utah until
The present moment; living, as he does
now, under the protecting arm of a father
Is he q statesman He was a member
the Convention which framed the Con-
Of the State Of Nevada. He made
. speech Of NO more length than five min
while in that body, and the longest
speech he made there was in advocacy OF a
subsidy Of 81. 500. 900 to . railroad com-
pany that was not in existence at the time.
Who Is James H. Kinkead, and what
does he represent in this canvass? He
represents the same party, the same com-
binations, the same ring that tried to elect
=. A. Tritle in 1870. and failed TO elect
DR.. Haxlett in 1874. Jonas Seeley, the
Chairman Of the Republican State Central
Committee, declared on the floor of the
Convention in Eureka, that the delegates
from Storey county admitted in that con-
vention were the tools Of all the monopolies
in this State, and represented all that was
corrupt in politics in that corrupt cess
pool-virginia City. This has never been
denied. These delegates nominated James
H. Kinkead. He has that brand on his
forehead. He end his friends may deny 1t
now. but be sure Of this fact: He is .
meek and lowly follower Of Tritle and
Hazlett; and il he be elected Governor Of
this State, the honest mon Of all parties
will rue the day they parted with old
Bradley.
