ST.. CLAIR, Churchill Co.. March 13.
EDITOR SILVER STATE: Il notice in
the small but interesting columns of
your well principled sheet that there is
again considerable being said concern
ing politics, and in noticing
THE SENTIMENTS OF "RANCHER," FROM
PARADISE,
In the issue of March 4th, l could not
help asking myself ii he is true Demo-
crat, or is he not rather Zones Re.
publican, ringing iu a few suggestions
for his favorlte? He seems to speak
as though Senator Jones is the only
smart man that can be found In the
whole breadth of our State, and that if
grease wood in the land we could not
scare oat another like him. Now |
am a Democrat, aud because j. p.
Jones has simply performed a solemn
and sworn duty defending the interests
of his constituents 10 the Halls of
Congress, l, for one, do not propose to
give him life berth in the Senate to
the exclusion of capable and deserving
men who. through all the years of ad.
yersity of our party. have stood firm
and unwsvering in the trials it had to
bear, and have ever fought for the pro.
mitigation of its principles.
WHAT IF HE Is FINANcIER?
| Does that signify that there are none
9th ers? His position requires that he
should have some qualifications, or he
would, like his noble Republican col
league, Sharon. be ashamed to occupy
his seat, and so remain at home to save
himself from further disgrace by ex-
posing his ignorance. Admitting the
fact that he has labored earnestly for
! the reDonetiz alton of the silver dollar
does it necessarily give him claims upon
the patronage OF the party in this State
which he has lost NJ opportunity to
Islander. both in the Halls of Congress
and in private life? Ii he has labored
and been successful, he has undoubted-
Iy received full legal compensation for
his Senatorial services, aud We don't
| know how much more from bonanza
bullion owners. Because the Republi-
can party have, In solitary instance,
sent a man to Washington who has, in
a measure. performed his duty, l do
not think that it devolves upon the
Democrats to support that man as
though he were modern Soloman. ;"
Have not their complete failures in all
their representatives furnished evil
dence that, intellectually. they are by
far the weaker party? Then why
should we let the ability of the Demo.
cratic party rust, and
SUPPORT THAT soLoN OF THE REPUB-
LICANs,
As if there were none among the Demo-
Gratis so wise. Jones is doubtless can
didats for re election He may be re-
elected;s but it does not become the
duty of the Democratic party to do it,
Let him seek his support from whence
he came;. aud let Democrats support
some of the best ability 10 their OVID
party. ADD work with determined will
and We will have Democratic Senator
from Nevada, of which the people will
be proud.
| COLONIZATION
/ Has not yet begun in Churchill. but
probably will begia ere long Let them
come. We are. prepared. aud will meet
them with the banner of truth at our
masthead and right at our helm.
There is lots of snow in the Sierra
and plenty of water here. making the
denizsns of the Desert county happy
as the day IL long. MoDEsTUs.
