AS we went to press yesterday evening a
public meeting was being held at Odell
Hall for the purpose Of organizing a Fair
association. Something over $4,000 have
been subscribed toward starting the project,
few miles of town, fence it and grade a
suitable race track within the next two
months. 1t is thought that the money re-
ceived for entrance fees to races will be
sufficient to warrant the erection Of sllita-
buildings on the ground for Fair purposes
at no distant day. Success to the project.

DAILY SILVER STATE.
.RRICK +" PALMER.

Our Paradise valley correspondent,
Omega, says s. B.. alias Brick :"
Palmer is candidate for State Senator
on the Democratic ticket. We incline
to the belief thu Omega ia mistaken,
and as his ann. cement il liable to
place the irrepressible Brick 4" in q
false position before the public, we pro-
pose to correct the mistake into which
he has undoubtedly unwittingly been
led.
"Brick Palmer is recognized as
the head and front of the Greenback
party in Nevada. and members of that
Organization here, and at Big Meadows
and elsewhere bave selected him as
their standard bearer in the ensuing
campaign. He is by common consent
their candidate for Governor. We
know that he has written letters to
men supposed to be in sympathy with
the Greenback movement, urging them
to organize. aud advising them as to
the proper course to pursue to ensure
victory. This satisfies as that our COR
respondent has been imposed upon,
probably by men who are envious of
Brick" and desire to create the i'm
preston among his adherents through
ont the State that he has deserted them.
Politicians are VIGOROUSLY wicked and
do not hesitate to attempt to blast the
fair fame Of so pure, spotless and in
eorruptiblea patriot as Brick Palmer
by announcing that he, the head center
of the Greenbackers, their unan-
imous cho. ce for Governor, is
deceiving the party he is laboring to
organize. We advise our correspond
cots not to be misled by Bricks"
enemies, as we know that he has, es
above stated, written letters urging the
organization of third party, and he
has the reputation of being mao of
his word and means what he says or at
least what he writes.

A DEMOCRATIC campaign faIsehood is
exploded. That party during the Pre-
idential contest charged that there we're
ninety thousand Federal Office holders
under Grant. This lie is now nailed by
the Blue Book. just issued. which con-
tains the names of all the Federal Office
holders, and shows that there are only
eighty-five thousand eight hundred and
eighty persons holding Federal Office in
the United States. Under Lincolu's
Administration the number was less
than one half what it now is. but in
those days they were not assessed for
political purposes.

RESISTANCE TO INVESTIGATION.

The. Washington correspondent of the
New York Eve ing Post. a Republican
newspaper, says when Senator J. G.
Blaine of Maine, was on the floor of
the House of Representatives, just be-
fore the culmination of the struggle
over the Potter resolution. he remarked
to one. of the Republican Repre-
sentatiyes that it twas certainly most
novel and peculiar spectacle to see on
thes one, side more than hundr d
Democrats iehtin solidly together for
purpose which at least half OF them
were opposed to at heart. and ON the
other side more than hundred Repub
icans fighting as solidly against thing
which ut least half of them secretly ia
vorsd, and hoped would succeed"
This. shows that If Blaine's opinion
ct lie members of the House is correct,
.s.s-half of them are dishonest, aud
lEsetlced dupliclty to DECEIVE their
CONSTITUENTS.

SOMETHING ABOUT FLoPplNe.


The Eureka Sentinel thinks that an
article in the SILVER STATE. announcing
its purpose to support the most ultra
Republican in the State for Senator in
preference to its candidate. General
Williams. of California. or any other
non-residsnt. betrays evidence of q
political flop. on the part of this paper.
If the Sentinel had said that it not
only betrayed. but openly disclosed
evidence of Independence on our part,
it would not have been so wide of the
mark. But admitting that the SILVER
STATE had tipped on the Senatorial
question, it would have only followed
the example of the Sentinel. We be-
leve that paper did not see much to
admire in General Williams when John
p. Jones was . candidate for Senator
six years ago. or later when William
Sharon Was in the field for the position,
though General Williams was at that
time resident of Nevada. Had the
fact that Jones and Sharon were then
rich and spent money literally, and
that General Williams is now million

chAncasof sentiments2
