A ROAR FROM THE BRADLERIAN
CORRALL

The Footlight is not of wide Dimensions,
but it hath a voice which may be heard with
out the aid of telephone or an ear-trumpet
That paper, evidently, has temporarily aban-
doned its specially of vehicle of dramatic
news, and taken upon itself the more timely
roll of All actor upon the stage of Democratic
politics Moreover, it is a very warm ad-
yecate of the third term aspirations of Gov
ernor Bradley. Speaking for the Broadhorn
interest, in its issue of yesterday, it delivers
itself of its pent-up wrath as follows:
At a meeting of the Storey County Demo
cractic Central Committee, held yesterday, a
most atrocious act against the rights of the
people was perpetrated; an act which ought
to c0nsgn to eternal infamy every man who
took part in it. 1t appears that majority of
the committee met, not for the purpose of
making arrangements for fair expression of
opinion at the coming primaries, but to carry
out well planned ''iob" to defeat Bradley,
regardless of the wishes of the people, regard
less of everything except a determined pur-
pose to comply with the terms of an Infamous
compact, made for SO many pieces OF silver.
Instead of leaving the election of delegates
to the State Convention to the votes OF the
people, as has been customary, majority OF
the committee ordered that a primary election
be held on Friday next, the 9th instant, when
by the gracious favor of the Commltte, the
people may elect forty one delegates, whose
duty it shall be to meet the following
Monday, for purpose of electing thirty-hve
delegates to the State Democratic Convention.
by this outrageous act the people are to be
deprived of their right to elect delegates to
the State Convention, and, if the Judas-like
lob" goes through as smoothly as the con-
sprators expect, the people will also be
cheated out of their choice for Governor.
The committee dare not trust the people to
vote for delegates to the State Convention,
but believe that it will be easier to control
majority of forty -one delegates in a mock
convention, than to control the votes of the
people at the primaries. They have SO
''6xed" matters that they believe it will be
an easy thing to elect at the primaries twenty
one antiBradley Delegates majority of the
Number The majority (2D will, of course,
elect solid anti Bradley delegation 10 the
State Convention, and, as they make it APP
pear, will carry the State Convention against
Bradley by ma jority of about twelve votes.
Here is an instance where gold is put in
the balance against the peoples rights, and
the peoples rights kick the beam Here is a
case where the will of one firm, backed by
money, outweighs and outvotes thousand
poor men. No more spread eagle speeches
about our glorious Republican institutions
after this, for us. No more talk about equal
political rights. If the Democratic voters of
Storey County submit to this usurpation of
power on the part of monetary despOts, they
will no longer deserve the name of freemen.
IL every voter does not leave all behind him,
and vote at the primaries next Friday for the
Bradley delegates, and thus show these
usurpers CT power that they can not barter
away the political rights of the people, then
should the words, ''equal political rights, be
e1punged from our language. If the people
will submit to this bargain and sale of their
rights, it will be but one step more to bare
their necks to the foot of master, and be-
come abject slaves.
Secretary Garrard and Lieutenant Governor
Adams are known to have been on the ground
since the meeting of the County Committee
1t is fairly inferential that these iilustrious
Democrats had share in promoting this
angry illumination of the Foot'ight. 1t is
funny when you feel that way
