THE HANDWRITING ON THE
WALL


1t must be evident to the ordinary OBJ
server that there is a tidal wave sweeping
gradually over the country, and that old
party ties are rapidly dissolving with the
certainty of living issues coming before
the entire American people for their con-
sideration. The present deplorable condi-
ton of business affairs, extending from
one end Of the country to the other, ac-
companied by enormous burdens, that are
thrust upon the people in the shape of
taxation, seems to have caused the masses
Of the taxpayers to do a little thinking on
their own account, and to study up some
ton. This argues well. II we are to have
reforms, the people must be in sympathy
with the spirit of such reforms, other
wise the agitation of questions pertainingto
the public welfare will result in no practi-
cal advantage. Corruption, misman-
agement and malfcasance in Office have
characterized the conduct Of the National,
State and local affairs in this country for
the last quarter OF q century, and it is
just and natural hat the people, or at least
the honest and well-disposed portion of
them, should become FESTIVE and d~issatis-
fed at this untoward condition of things.
They see that the bondholders, the monop-
olists and the oficeholders have inscribed
the ssrule OF ruin" motto on their banners,
and that while these classes, representing
a minority of the people as they do, are
living in afiuence, a vast majority, rep
r~esenting the middle classes, the working
men, the poor people and the zone and
bear burdens in tho shape of taxation
which goes to swell the Golfers Of the rich
and build up the interests of the few at
the expense of the many. All this is the
result Of unwise and dishonest legisla-
ton. 1t is the legitimate outgrowth Of
the irregularities connected with the
present system of managing public
affairs, and which has driven hun
dreds of thousands of honest laboring
men into pauperism, besides paralyz-
ing the industries Of the country to an cx-
tent that is almost appalling to contem-
plate. Take the amount of taxes that have
been paid out by men of moderate means
in this country for the past fifteen years,
or while the Republican party has been in
power, and we find where the substance of
the people has gone, showing that an or
binary small fortune has been absorbed
from the earnings Of each taxpayer and he
has little or nothing to show for i. in re-
turn. Is it any wonder that the people
are dissatisfied, and that they are clamor-
u for a change Of rulers? They demand
that the business Of the several depart
ments of the Government shall be man
aged with the same care and economy that
any prudent man displays in conducting
his own private business, and the demand
is not an unreasonable one. Let the peo-
pie see to it that this is done in the selec-
ton Of honest and competent men for pub
lie positions of every grade, and then will
the country, to some extent at least, re-
cover from the misrule and mismanage-
ment which have characterized the admin
istration OF the Government in this coun-
try for SO long a period.

SURPRISED.

There was great surprise here yesterday
among the friends Of Senator Baker when
they learned that he had accepted the
nomination for Secretary of State. The
position is purely clerical, and in no sense
adapted to or calling for the services OF an
attorney. Mr.. Baker is a rising lawyer of
the Great East, and why he should have
consented to exchange a fine practice for a
clerkship worth but $500 a month, is be-
sond the ken OF his most intimate friends.
Inasmuch as he has q weak man against
him, added to his own popularity, we es-
tenn his election a foregone conclusion.

THE NEVADA REpUnL1cANs.

The comments Of the California press on
the Republican State ticket may intercsta all
classes Of SENTINEL readers. There is
great unanimity regarding the strength of
the ticket. The subjoined remarks are
from the Sacramento Record Union, the
leading Republican organ Of the Golden
State
The Nevada Republicans have nominated
o State ticket, after q very warm prelimi-
nary contest at the primaries. Mr.. Dag
gett, editor Of the Virginia Enterprise, and
who was a candidate for Governor, but
withdrew. before the primaries, receives
the nomination for Congress. The nomi-
nation for Governor lay between General
Conner and Mr.. Kinkead, and was secured
by the latter after a sharp contest. Another
~wel-known journalist, Mr.. H. Mighels, of
the Carson Appeal, has been put forward
for Lieutenant Governor, and in other
respects the ticket appears to be judici-
0usly selected. Whether the nomination
Of Kinkead is the strongest that could
have been made is perhaps open to ques-
tion. At least General Conner appears to
have been very popular in every part of
the State, and it is certain that he would
have received the support of all the boys
in blue. The platform adopted by the
Convention is occupied chiefly with local
issues. A resolution against third terms is
Of course pointed at Governor Bradley, the
Democratic champion. The anti-raiIroad
sentiment Of the State is strongly appealed
to, and an intention is shown to try con-
illusions with the local as we'll as with the
interstate corporations. The campaign will
doubtless be q lively one, and the Repub-
1icah press Of Virginia and Carson will
have greater inducements than usual to ex-
ert itself. Local opinion, however, seems
10 favor the belief that despite his third
terminess and various other and more per-
sonal objections, it will be no easy matter
to defeat Bradley.

NEW YORK, September "a.
A World reporter has interviewed But
Ter, who has just arrived. The latter said:
Kearney is working on his own RESPONSE
bility. / neither c~riticise nor condemn
him, / think he knows what he speaks
about. He is an uneducated workingman
who has felt the wrongs and expressions
he is talking about, and he knows how to
express himself to the class Of men to
which he belongs. That so many thou
sands OF people come to hear him shows
that he has something to say that they
want to hear. He talks as a workingman
to workingmen. If he addressed his au-
diences in the language of Ralph Waldo
Emerson, for instance, how many would
go to hear him He speaks to these men
in their W language. If you see two
men get into q dispute down here on the
docks, You will probably hear one of them
say to the other, s'you thief, you lie"
There is no looking around for fine words.
Kearney speaks of certain men as lecherous
bondholders. That means, he says, that
they are blood-suckers but when you
come to talk about calling names, ! guess
that If you should put all the names Kear-
ney has called in one column, and those
that the newspapers have called him in
another, and add them up, there wouldn't

Congress is in itself q victory for the
Republicans. A more shrewd, talented and

It rests with California which
votes next September, to determine
whether, in case the election of Pre-
sident is thrown into the House of
Representatives, the vote will be a
tie or in favor Of the Democrats.
The majority of Representatives cast
the vote oil the State. To the next
Congress the Democrats have elected
a majority of the delegation in each
of the following States, being nine
teen: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi,
Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Ore
gon, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
The Republicans have elected the
majority in the following eighteen
States: Colorado, Connecticut, Hi
nois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Ne
braska, Nevada, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Pennsylva
MIA, Rhode Island, Vermont and

could not give the election to the Re-

it could only create a clog by, max.

"But what shall we say Of the men
who, while calling themselves Dem
ocrats, have, by their combination
with the Republicans, sold out the
interests of the city and State to the
Republican party? What shall be
said of those renegades and traitors
who have sold the Congressional and
Assembly Districts to the Republi
can party, and have thus prevented
our citizens from being properly re-
presented at Washington and Alba
ny? These pretended Democrats
have worked really to keep their own
city party disfranchised by giving
the Republicans power to refuse a
just apportionment law, to elect q
Republican United States Senator.
and to turn over a majority of the
Representatives in Congress to the
Republican party, and, therefore, the
State to that party, in the event of 6
Presidential election going to the

history of politics in this country we
know of nothing more infamous than
this bargaining of the traitor Demo.
