CROW ON THE. SIDE.

From the time Governor Bradley
thwarted the purposes of the Bonanza
crowd OF Storey county by vetoing their
pet measure, designed to relieve them
from the payment of taxes, the Repub.
licun press of the State has waged
Herce and brutal warfare upon him. In
season and out of season, for more than
eighteen months, they have allowed no
opportunity to escape them to empty
their Walls OF wrath upon his devoted
head for daring to interpose the Execu-
tive prerogatiye to save the people
from these grasping plunderers; but
this is all changed now. The State
Convention of their party which re-
Gently assembled at Eureka, recogniz-
ing the heavy pressure of the people
from all parts of the State, did not dare
to defy that sentiment. and the result
ID a plank in the Republican platform
commending the old bullion tax law as
Is marvelously wise and just law, aud
entirely satisfactory to all interests of
the State. This full aud complete en-.
dorsement of the course of Governor
Bradley in vetoing the bullion tax bill,
by Republican State Convention. is
OF course very gratifying both to him
and to the people who have stood by
him aud defended his course from the
FIRST; but it leaves his Republican as
saiiauts in a very awb ward position,
thus to be, at the very outset of the
campaign, robbed of their chief weapon
of assault, and compelled to go back ON
all they have said since the adjourn
ment of the last Legislature. We are
somewhat curious to know whether any
of them will have the honesty and
frankuess to confess their high crimes
against the peoples champion in thus
assailiog him for doing that which they
now confess was for the best interests
of the State. We much fear however,
that none of them have the manhood
or moral courage 10 make an open con-
iession of their manifold sins, and thus
while compelled to eat crow in large
doses. they will decline to allow the
public to enjoy the doubly amusing
spectacle. The most notifying part
of the business however, is the fact that
the rank and file of the party have re-
pndiated these Captains and denounced
them as false prophets and laundering
leaders, whose false lights have lured
to ruin all who put faith in them and
followed their delusive couusels
What consolation have they now to Of
Ter to poor Billy Hobart, who was
weak enough to fall down and worship
the golden calf at their dictation, and
now finds himself political wreck,
stranded on barren shore? A break
fast of crow occasionally. has very
beneficial and happy effect in toning
down the inordinate self-conceit with
which these little creatures are bel
consumed, and which at times becomes
utterly unbearable to the Intelligent
reader of the political literature of the
times.
