Guard.

Reno Gazette, September "a.
The Carson papers OF yesterday sx-
pressed great indignation because the
Trustees OF the Agricultural Society had,
V they expressed II, "withdrawn the
prize put up for the best drilled military
company" The Carson papers are
aggrieved because the Carson military
companies have been drilling all sum-
mer. and were confident Of victory.
The Carson papers are mistaken In
this matter. The Trustees OF the Society
are not to blame. The frst proposition
to give . prize for the best drilled MILL
tary company came from O. O. Steven
son. Of Gold Hill. he authorized the
Society TO offer . special premium for
that purpose OF 800. a. referred TO In q
letter from him under date OF September
81. Of which the material portion reads
os follows:
~ will attend the Fair, and will put
up the 500 coin a. q special premium
for the best drilled military company, II
there 10 composition"
In addition to the special premium Of
500 offered BY Mr.. Stevenson. the
Society agreed to give $50. II was
hoped the military parade would make
ono Of the pleasing features Of the Fair.
until Q few days ago the Trustees
received tho following letter.

upon. and informed the companies that

Al the withdrawal Of the Comstock
companies left the Carson company the
only competitor, the Trustees had no
option in the matter. Mr.. Stevsnson's
special premium was offered with the
express condition '.if there b compst-
tion." The Trustees offered their pre-
MUM Of $3.50 on the same terms a. Mr..
S%tsvsnson's prize.

OF the solid men OF the Comstock
and will not only brace up the Demo.
cratic party, but the most thorough effect
will be to stir up the Republicans. The
idea that the Republican party has an
easy walk-ovsr in this campaign is not
. good one. and the sooner oil Repub.
licans arrive at . realizing sense Of 1t.
the better. And the candidates them
selves, from United States Senator to
township constable. should endsavor to
realize this fact as loon a. possible.
Fair coming into the asla in opposi.
ton to Sharon. looks at least like
Turk meeting Turk" and something
about the "tug Of war;" Perhaps 1t
may be . nice little job on the part OF
Sharon to have Fair come in at this par
ticular moment, and BY cool agreement
have no .'sack" opened on either side;
in fact, to prevent any such popularity
expected arrangement. But 1t does
not look that way. It looks like q hsht
for blosd. Anyhow. the Republican
party had better look upon 1t in that
light, and the candidates for Office should
see tina. the sinews OF war in their be-
half are adequately provided.
No political fight can be efficiently
conducted without the requisite supply
Of funds. and the State and County
Central Committees are the proper
avenues for the disbursement OF the
money. There has been plenty Of talk
about Sharon's "sack." but 1t has come
from the sIpectant and hopeful Dsmoc-
racy. Now they will divert their atten.
ton TO the Fair sack. Most people
hope to see both sacks turned loose,
hopeful Of substantial benefit
thereby. II II should result in

result in the development Of q BONANZA
