The Dutch Recruit.

Next week, Wednesday. Thursday
and Friday evenings, is to be presented,
at the Opera House, for the first time
in this city, the military allegorical dra-
ma, The Dutch Recruit" under the
auspices and for the benefit of Co. II, of
this city. The drama has been perform
ed in many towns surrounding us, and
has received the highest encomiums
from the press and public. The leading
character, Deitrick Vonderspeck, the
Dutch Recruit, is sustained by Mr.. j.
Il. Vegiard, the author, who has had
many years experience on the stage,
and who is one of the best comedians in
the country. His conception of this
character is said to be abundant of wit,
pathos, and ludicrous situations Those
of our citizens who had the good fortune
to witness the Union Spy" which was
played here some years ago, need
only to be assured that 'The Dutch Re
crult' is of the same character and fully
its equal in thrilling war scenes and the
portrayal of soldiers life. The other
characters have been selected from the
best amateur talent in the city. The
Guards hope to realize substantial
benefit from the play, and ask the pat
ronage of the public. 1t is designed to
apply the profits to purchasing new uni
forms. Upon one evening, following the
play, will be given roaring farce, en-
titled "A Match in the Dark and upon
another evening Co. I'll will perform
their famous "blindfold drill The
whole will constitute an entertainment
that cannot fail to please our people,
and it is to be hoped they will patronize
it literally. Tickets will be sold at so
cents for adults, and % cents for chill
dren under II years of age Reserved
seat tickets can be had at C. r. Wal
lace's Drug Store, and at the Post Office
store, without extra charge,
In THE RIvER-Last Tuesday after
noon man named Dickinson, who has
lately become resident of this city.
had occasion to cross the river near the
Central bridge. He started to cross on
the bridge, but came to the conclusion
that it was too slippery and he might
fall off, SO he decided to 60 across on
the ice When about half way across,
the ice gave way, and he sank in the
cold waters. He was encountered with
a heavy overcoat, making it impossible
Tor him to Get out unaided. He began
to cry Justify for help, which fortunate
ly was near at hand. 7. j. Marinus and
Jas. What, who were fishing near by,
heard his cries, FASTENED to his assist
ance, and succeeded in rescuing him
from his perilous situation. When
pulled out, he was numb from cold and
fright, but proper measures were taken
for his relief, and no harm is likely to
result from his impromptu bath.

FULL OF FIGHT.

Never since its organization in the days OF
peril, when it took courage Of the highest
order to hold a man seadfast to the cause OF
the Union: has the Republican party Of Ne
vada been 50 full OF fight and so determined
to wrest victory from the enemy as now.
Bradley's true attitude has at last been dis
covered He is merely the figure head Of d
faction Of his party. A continued admins
tration of the gubernatorial office by him
self means nothing better than ID further
lease of most undesirable personal power
and influence. Not even Bradley dearest
friend will deny that he is moved, first, last
and always, by the marrow designs, advice
and purposes of his immediate political
household. The ticket he leads is "a Bradley
ticket, pure and simple. Bradleyism has
succeeded to the place once held by the De
mocracy. This is what makes the Democratic
ticket so unacceptable to the Democratic
party at large 1t represents close corpor-
alton. If ever party was surrendered,
wholly, to any one man, the Democracy is SO
surrendered to Bradley-and that's what
makes the Democratic party so absolutely
wanting in life and hope and courage.
Look at the other side. Look at the en-
thusiasm manifested in the ranks OF the Re
publican party Recruits are coming i'll and
rallyiug to the flag by scores, daily. Our
party gains in strength, gains in courage,
gains in power, gains in enthusiasm every
hour Go to Virginia City and see how great
is the inspiration Of Republican courage and
determination to achieve full and decisive
triumph. The flag flies high and streams
abroad in the sunlight, We are marching on
to the most splendid victory ever witnessed
and ever gloried over in all our borders. The
peaks of Nevada answer back the shoutsi
triumph that come far across the plains and

REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COM
MITTEE.

On Thursday at Virginia City meeting
was held, as per adjournment, Of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee The meeting
being called to order, communication from
Hon. Jonas Seeley, rendering his resignation
as Chairman land was explained by one OF
his confidential friends), and as d member of
the Committee was read, Upon motion the
resignation was accepted. The name Of DR..
Elias B. Harris of Virginia was proposed to
ill the vacancy; and he was duly elected.
Chairman Harris is Republican OF the very
best and strongest kind He was born in
Utica, n. Y, and when he was young man
he ran as a candidate for Coroner on the
ticket with Roscoe Conkling who was a can
didate for County Attorney. Doctor Harris
built the first quartz mill erected in the Ter
ritory of Nevada. 1t was erected at Gold
Hill and had rotary battery. Soon after the
breaking out Of the war he went East and
Joined the army He served his country as
member of the medical staff for about Eve
years. During the Gorham campaign in 1867
he took an active part in behalf Of the Repub-
Gcan ticket. He brings to the Office of Chair
man Of the State Central Committee much
knowledge Of politics and great zeal in behalf
Of the cause of Republcanism. We are glad
to announce that the services of Mr.. W. n.
Stevens, late OF the Carson Mint, have been
engaged as assistant secretary. He is the
best party ook-keeper III the country; and
the Republicans of the State are to be con
graduated that his services have been Sc
cured. Among other things done by the Com
mittee is the appointing of a ratification meet
ing at Reno on the night Of Friday next,

Central Committee is entrusted will now be
systematized and set in order; and the cam

SALTY GOOD ILLUSTRATION.

The Eureka Lso Lr Of Monday last illus
trates the attitude OF The Nevada Democracy
in the following effective way; The attitude
Of the anti-third -termers and Democratic OPP
poncnts to Bradley is well illustrated by an
old but pithy story. A party of California
miners had experienced considerable trouble
in the cooking department, and finally in
stalled one of their number permanently with
the understanding that he was to attend e1-
clusiyely to the culinary duties until such
time as some one OF the members found fault,
when the grumbler was to take his place. All
was peace and harmony for while, but the
cook got tired, and concluded he would give
the boys something to growl about, which he
did by overlooking batch of biscuit with salt
The first man that set his teeth in them ex-
claim, MY God, these biscuits are salty" and
then recollecting the penalty he added, "but
they are good, you bet. SO with our breth-
rem who do not harmonic with the Chivalry.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR ATTORNEY
GENERAL

The Reno Gn.ette is showing itself first
rate compaign paper, 1t has said some of the
best and sharpest things of the campaign.
Abiding to the gentleman whose name ap-
pears upon our State ticket as a candidate for
Attorney General that paper says IN A.
Murphy, the Republican nominee for Attor-
ney General, promises to make vote hunting
a very exciting chase for General Kittrell dur
ing the present year. Mr.. Murphy lives in
Aurora and commands the respect of the en-
tire population, regardless of party. In Bo-
die, too, he enjoys a large acquaintance and
his candidacy excites much interest. Kittrell
is reported as feeling very confident of his
ability to erase Mr. Murphy from the Repuh-
ican slate, but We fail to see any justification
for his confidence. Mr.. Murphy nomination
satisfies the question of geography, his stand
ing as citizen and lawyer is first class and
he will guarantee the Republican ticket
large majority from his county. If the other
candidates do as much as our next Attorney
General, the entire ticket will be elected
The Bode Standard says: Attorney General
J. r. kittrell was pitted against the weakest
man in the State of Nevada at the previous
election, and won by scratch. He must
have gained much n public opinion and favor
