THE Holly Springs South says, that
''nO judicious business man turns out
experienced, tried, and approved servants
in the prime and vigor of life, occupying
places Of peculiar trust and responsibility,
because of mere abstract difference of
opinion besides, Republicans and Dem
ocrats are now standing virtually on the
same political platform" "Abstractly"
speaking, this may all be true, but it
presents a very bad rule for keeping the
Democratic party in power and the Re-
publican party out of power If it is
true that experienced, tried and ap-
proved officials" ought to be kept in
office without reference to their party
affiliations, and that Democrats and Re-
publicans are all one and the same, as our
esteemed contemporary Judge Wat
son insists, why did he not favor the re-
tention of Maj. Gibbs in the Auditors
office, and of Mr.. Hill in the office of
Secretary of State? These offices have
no relation whatever to ''politics." One
of them, at least, requires great business
capacity and fnancering ability, and the
incumbent, (Maj Gibbs,) as the CLARI-
ON frequently attested during his term,
performed the difficult duties of the
Office faithfullyand efficiently. There was
not the shadow of a shade of blemish
upon his official escutcheon. Besides,
it might have urged that in the selection
of assistants he had chosen competent
and worthy Democrats, native and to
the manner born, and yet the South, I'M
mindful of the doctrine it now breaches
with all the zeal of a neophite, so far
from uttering word of protest against
the deep damnation of his taking off,
favored the nomination and election
of Democratic successor. And so
too with its own county man, Mr.. Hill,
who, though Objectionable in his Repub-
lican politics, which the South strangely
enough has come to the conclusion &C.
cords with the Democratic platform,
was ruthlessly hurled from office, the
South standing by and approving.
What has brought this change over the
spirit of the dreams of our learned and
venerated contemporary? 1t is strange
doctrine for a protesting Democrat, or
Conservative, 1--WE believe our friend pre-
fers the latter appellation, and if car
ried into practice will scatter the Demo
cratic party into fragments and send it
higher than kite.

A CORRESPONDENT in another column
thoroughly explodes the preposterous
idea that it is necessary to continue the
present Superintendent of the Lunatic
Asylum in Office, on the ground of pre-
eminent qualifications, by mentioning
numerous medical gentlemen of Ito say
the least of it, equal ability. To the
list enumerated several other names
might be added without going very far in
search of them.

THE only hope Of the depositorsof the
Freedman's Bank, the benevolent insti-
tuition established at Washington for the
good of the poor colored people, to take
care of their earnings, is the purchase by
the Government of the building in which
its affairs were conducted. This is pro-
posed as charity, not as an act of JUS
tice but can the Government afford to
be charitable at the expense of the over
burdened taxpayers ?

The State Printing.

The Legislature ought never to
have abolished the Office of State
Printer. What should have been
donewas TO reduce the fees about 40
per cent, and one of the first duties
Of the coming Legislature is to re-
establish the Office of State Printer,
and fix the fees at such figures az
will permit of a reasonable compen-
sation. There is no question but
what Crocker & Co., or Bacon, or
Bancroft, or some other large firm
of San Francisco, will secure the
contract Of doing the State work for
the next few years. Our printing
goes to California, our insane are
kept there, and thus we are taking
away from our own citizens 800, 900
annually. If this is the policy we
intend to pursue, if we are to con-
tinue to pay taxes for the benefit of
other people, we might as we'll at
once do away with State Govern
ment, and apply for annexation to
California.-Reno journal.

W. r. KING FOR SENATOR.

Hon. W. r. King announces him
self a candidate for State Senator.
Mr.. King has already served one
term of four years in the Senate, to
the general satisfaction of the people
of this county. He has never broken
personal pledge, and has probably
fewer enemies than any other man in
the county. In politics Mr.. King is
an uncompromising Republican, but
his popularity is such that he inva-
riably carries his subordinates with
him almost to a man. This was we'll
exemplified four years ago, when DR..
Hazzlett ran. for Governor. There
we're only 80 ballots cast at the Eu-
reka mill, but "a of these were
straight Republican. The Repub-
lican majority in the county at that
time was fully $50, but DR.. Hazzlett
only carried it by 10 votes. But for
Mr.. King the Doctor would have had
the modification to have been beaten
in his own county. The voters of
Lyon county should esteem it a priv
ilege to re-elect W. r. King State
Senator.

AN AUTHORITATIVE DENIAL,

Mr.. Waldo, one of the editors OF
the Reno Record, was in town last
Saturday and Sunday. He informed
the editor of the TIMES that the
statement which had been circulated
by interested parties, in effect, that
Mr.. Hagerman had started the Re-
cord to assist him into the guberna-
torial chair, was false. The press and
material with which the Record IS
printed belong to Hank Mitchell
and the Office is rented for the oam :
paigp. All the patronage bestowed
by Mr.. Hagerman on the Record
consists in a $40 "ad." for which he
paid in advance.

A VERY STRONG CANDIDATE,

In an article on the various Re-
publican candidates for Governor,
the Carson Tribune of a recent date
thus refers to II. NJ. Daggett:
Now comes r. NJ. Daggett, ac-
knowledged the best newspaper edi-
tor on the Pacific coast. An uncom-
promising Republican and so entire
ly independent, that he would throw
away his means of living rather than
support man for office he deemed
unworthy. An able Governor would
X. NJ. make-a Governor in fact,
and one who would confer an honor
on the position. Being newspaper
man and so strict partisan, Mr.. D..
has made many enemies, but all
things considered, he is very strong
candidate.

The Hon. Jerry MoOre-HOn. H.
Il. Mighels- Major Haines-G.
C. POwning.
The Carson Tribune of q recent
date thus alludes to the Republican
aspirants for the nomination for
Lieutenant Governor:
There are at present four gentle
men spoken of for the Office of Lieu
tenant Governor on the Republican
side; Hon. Jerry Moore, of Elko;
Hon. H. r. Mlghels, of Ormsby;
Hon. James w. Haines, of Douglas,
and Mr.. G. C. Powning, of Washoe
county. The first mentioned Col.
Jerry Moore, is man we'll known,
having served as Senator and in the
Lower House of the California Leg
islsture. He is a stirring business
man, shrewd politician, and geo.
graphically has the best of the situa-
tion. He is about SO years of age,
q man we'll to do in the world, and
unmarried.
Mr.. H. r. Mighels is we'll known
as a newspaper man. He Is in
every way competent to fill the po-
sition of Lieutenant Governor, or
indeed, any other; for as far as his
ability goes, he is the peer of any
man, and had he not attempted
combinations for self interest, might
have stood good chance for the
nomination at least, Mr.. Mighels
thinks his chances good, and per-
haps they are.
Major j. w. Haines is man Of
sterling worth, and having watched
his course in the State Senate, We
can without any hesitancy pro-
nounce him square, honest gentle
man. He would do honor to the
position, iand in the event Of the
death of he who may be elected Gov
ernor during his term of office,
would be a worthy successor. IT
any man deserves we'll of the Re-
publican party it is Jim Haines of
Genoa.
Mr.. G. G. Powning, of the Reno
State Journal, is very young man,
and to a certain extent inexperienced
in political economy. He is a stir
ring, able man of business, possessed
of indomitable energy and per-
severance, and moreover brimfull
of that very necessary adjunct to po-
litical preferment-cheek. We think
him too young, but should he sue
ceed in securing the nomination,
shall take great pleasure in forward
ing his interests.

throughout long and useful life
enjoyed perfect health, and was
noted (although in poor ciroum-
stances) as the most cheerful and
contented of men, retaining his SEN

was an intelligent and entertaining
companion. He leaves large num-

"A GENTLEMAN who visited the
woman suffrage Territory of Dakota
last Fall. reoounts in the pages of
the Philadelphia Republican his OBJ
servations made at the ELECTIONS held
there at that time. According to his
account there was not respectable
woman to be seen near the polls.
The "ladies" who availed themselves
OF their right to the ballot were uni
formly of the lowest ana most dis
reputable of callings and characters

jerkers, or women of the town, out

tioed in Utah, where 1t is only very
rarely that respectable GENTLE wo-

SINCE the recent revival of the
talk about C9sarism and Grants
probable candidacy in 1880, many of
the eastern papers are advocating the
adoption Of an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States
forbidding third terms in executive
offices; and It is very likely thsta1oA
various party platforms which willa6e
framed throughout the United States
this fall will contain a clause urging
upon Congress the necessity for such
an addition to the supreme law of
the land.
