The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1879-09-29
SOMEWHAT Personal.

The Paradise Reporter expressed the
opinion that if Grant and Kearney were
both hanged the world would be none
the worse off. The SILVER STATE ex-
pressed the hope that Grant would not
see the paper containing that opinion,
as it might make him feel badly. The
next issue of the Reporter expressed
regret for what it said relative to Grant,
but, in the classic language of its editor,
"turned loose on the SILVER STATE.
T'1is paper briefly stated that the Repor-
Ger was very sorry for what it said about
,rfant, and that we could scarcely b, .
lieve its editor, who was so conscien-
tious Republican less than a year ago
that he could not support Bradley for
Governor, could become in so short a
time so virulent rebel as to favor the
hanging of Grant. The Reporter
whose editor was a compositor in this
office at the time of the election in 1878,
admits that he voted for j. FL. Kinkead
for Governor, and asks tif it would not
have been better for the editor of the
SILVER STATE to have sqaarely advo-
waited the election of Kinkead, instead
OF pursuing the luke warm, wishy-
washy course he did," He then asserts
that the editor of the SILVER STATE has
been heard to remark that. Kinkead was
indebted to great extent to him for
his nomination, and charges the SILVER
STATE with being responsible for the
defeat of L. w. Greenwell for Senator
and of James Richie for County Com
missioner.
The editor of the SILVER STATE has
been acquainted with J. H. Kinkead
for years. His name was mentioned as
a candidate. for Governor of Nevada on
the Republican ticket. There were
numerous candidates for the position,
and their claims We're advocated by the
press of their respective counties. The
SILVER STATE was the only paper pub
lshed in Humboldt at that time and it
referred to kinkead's- candidacy occa-
sionally, and stated what it now re-
asserts, that its editor, though intimate
" acquainted with j. FL. kinkead for
years, could not with truth say aught
against him, except that he was a Re-
publican but the assertion that the
editor of the SILVER STATE has been
heard to remark that kinkead is in
debted to him for his nomination or
election. is as false as anything that
ever emanated from the pen of the
editor of the Reporter, or that was ever
conceived IN the shallow brains of the
soreheads who furnish him with VIII, 1.
they imagine are brilliant ideas. lie
knows that the editor of the SILVER
STATE, i'll whose employ he was at the
time, never asked him to vote for or
against any candidate on either ticket,
and only knew of his voting for Kin
kead by hearing him proclaim that he
did, after he had voted. His right to
vote for whom he pleased was never
questioned by the editor of the SILVER
STATE, yet, though he now processes to
be so ardently Democratic, he admits
that less than year ago he voted the
Republican ticket.
The Reporters driveling about the
SILVER STATE being in some sense re-
sponsible for the defeat of Mr.. Green
well and Mr.. Richie, scarcely deserves
notice. Mr.. Greenwell and Mr., Thomp-
son, Immediately after they were nom
mated, published card, in which they
mutually pledged themselves to make
no canvass CT the county, but quietly
leave the matter with the peo-
pie. Mr.. Thompson had many
old acquaintance in every part of the
county, several of whom were Demo.
Gratis, who were unacquainted with Mr.
Greenwell. They voted fon Mr.. Thomp.
son and elected him by two majority,
and for this the Reporter thinks the
SILVER STATE is responsible. In the
case of Mr.. Richie, locality operated
against him. He received handsome
majority in the town of Winpemucca
