EDITOR SENTISEL-Although the polit-
ical pot seems to boil briskly enough in
other localities Of the Battle Born" it
has scarcely approached a simmer in this
''neck Of the woods" Our Democratic
friends seem to have forgotten the exist
ence Of Nye county, or do not think it Of
sufficient importance in the fight to pay at
tention to.
Daggett, of the ~'letters Of fire." and the
speaking automaton, Bartine, paid us the
honor of q visit, and fought the war
over again. coneuering the rebel DEM
0cracy much easier than the hosts of Grant
and Sherman. The doughty Daggett made
a speech of nearly an hours duration.
made up principally Of abuse and billings
gate. As an orator, he is not a success,
but as o scold. he can stand off a brigade
of fish-women. This world is given to
lying" said a warrior Of the olden time.
to whom Dagge.t bears a not unmarked
resemblance in the matter Of size Of
stomach and fondncss for sack and
Daggett's speech, if it can DO dignified by
that name, proved the truth Of the asser-
ton. With supreme disregard Of facts. he
stated that the Democratic party was the
enc r9y of silver, forgetful, or ignorant of
the fact that it was q Democratic House
that reinonctized that metal. and that
a Republican House ~demonetized it.
And this, too, wh+n he knows that
every Democrtic platform in the land, both
State and National, demands the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. The re-
mainder of his speech was made up of
abuse Of Mr.. Deal and the State Of Mary
land, and some denunciation of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad But he said never
a word about the Virginia & Truckee road,
which his master, b. o. Mills, owns; nor
did he mention the Bullion Tax question.
Mr.. Bartine's spt ech was only a rehash
Of old exploded ISLANDERS about the Demo-
cratic party, unworthy of notice, but it
shows to what d. sperate straits the Repub-
licans are reduced for campaign thunder.
w. w. Bishop Grated last night, going
over the same old ground and playing out
the same old programme, and finally ex-
horting his hearers not to vote for Bradley
because he wouldn't shave. That is about
the most sensible objection / have heard
the Republicans advance against the ..old
man" yet. He next grappled with the
financial question, calling the Democratic
party the party of imitation. thereby show
ing a most woeful ignorance Of the sub
ject. Either he did not know what he was
talking about. or took everybody here for
fools. He ought to know, if he does not,
that the. Democratic party in the East is a
hard money party, while in every one of
the Southern States the Republicans are
inhationists.
COUNTY POLITICS.
Local politics are interesting US over
here a great deal more than anything else.
The candidates for county Offices are
'srustling" for all that's out. We have
nominated two of the best and strongest
Democrats in the county for the Assembly,
Mr.. Bell and Mr.. Williams. They are
both popular and sterling citizens, and
are almost certain to be elected. There is
a Democratic majority of about so in the
county, though / think Bradley will get
at least 100. As to the other local candi-
dates. it is merely a question of personal
popularity. and one that does not in
terest MERCURY.
