CHARLEY WITHERELL.

There is feeble and paralytic sort of move
mont to defeat Charley Witherell, Why?
What has he done, or left undone, that he
should be defeated2 Has he not been the
most capable and satisfactory Justice Carson
ever had9 Has he not attended to his duties
with remarkable regularity Is he not tho
rough, battle-baptised Republican, There is
need to keep Charley Witherell in office He
is not only an excellent magistrate but of
very great Importance as custodian of the
Registry of voters. If ever faithful, fear
less and honest man were needed for the posi-
ton of Register he is needed here. Not as
partisan but as a man who knows his duty and
has the industry and will to perform it-such
is Judge Witherell. We should not have
mentioned his name and candidacy but for
the fact that there seems to be an absurd
movement to oppose the almost unanimous
wish that he be reelected.

SOUND TALK.

Says the Eureka Leader of October 8, after
reciting the Democratic sophistries and false
pretendings: "That is the pith and marrow
of Democratic strategy. There is not a well
informed Bourbon leader but laughs in his
sleeves when he thinks of the absurdity of
the pretension that he relies upon to gather
the requisite strength from the opposition,
and yet he will preach it with a solemn face,
and call heaven to witness that Nevada would
go to rack and ruin if this fossilized igno-
ramus was not given life lease of office. If
there are any Republicans who lend an ear to
this appeal, we ask them in all soberness,
what fault do they find with their own stand
ard bearerl Has ever breath furnished the
fair fame of j. II. Kiukead2 Has not his life
aad public record been above suspicion2 Are
not his affiliations and instincts that of gen
tlemanl Is not his integrity unquestioned?
and if the answer is in the affirmative is he
to be sacrificed for the simple reason that he
possesses sufficient culture and intelligence to
wisely, and with honor to himself and the
people, administer the affairs of state.

A YOUNG gentleman in this city Yesterday

New York, October 1O,-A Times special
says: Rev. HerbeM Hayden, of Meriden,
Conn, whose recent9 trial in the Justices
Court for the murder of Mary E. Stannard
attracted much attention, has been rearrested,
Eminent experts found a large amount of
arsenic in the girls stomach. There were
flfty or sixty grains unabsorbed, besides what
was absorbed. The theory of the prosecution
is that he persuaded the girl that the drug
was for the purpose of producing abortion;
that the poison put her in agony; that she
OWNED his purpose and started for home to
inform her friends of his crime, and that
Hayden then felled here to the earth with a
stone and cut her throat The case excites
intense interest, and the feeling is very strong
against the accused.

RUMORED ATTEhPT TO FIRE THE PAVILION.
A report was circulated on the street this
morning that man and boy had attempted
during the night to fire the pavilion. The
foundation for this report was as follows: A
boy by the name of Taubert was arrested
about 2 o'clock last night by Mr. Robinson.
The boy was in company with several boot
blacks, near the pavilion. The latter ran
away at the approach of Mr.. Robinson, but
Taubert gave himself up and told more or
less probable story of plan laid to carry ont
a project of the knights of the boot brush.
He said in substance that he met the boys
near the bridge after l o'clock. They told him
that they must fire the pavilion but assigned
no reason why it should be done. The party
BACKED their faces to avoid recognition and
proceeded to the building to be destroyed A
small fire was kindled on the north side but
was soon removed to a second place. Taubert
said he thought was wicked to fire the pavil
ion and put out the fire. From another
party we learn that the bootblacks had built
a fire near the pavilion but it was not presum-
able for other reasons than to warm them
selves. We can assure exhibitors that they
need apprehend no danger from incendiarism,
since a Waterman is on the lookout all night
at the pavilion. Every precaution is OBJ
served by the officers of the society to ensure
full protection to all who make exhibits at
the State Fair.-Reno Gazette, Monday
