FOR CONGRESS.
Comments of the Press on His
Nomination.
FAVORABLE MENTION FROM ALL
QUARTERS.
KIND WORDS BY OLD FRIENDS
OF THE CRAFT.

Now that Mr.. Cassidy Ia out on his can
vass of the State, we have determined to
reproduce the following comments Of the
press, which have appeared at odd times
since he was put in nomination. The
brethren Of the press have treated him
generously, and we are certain that their
kind consideration is most highly appre-
ciated:
SALT LAKE TRIBUNE: The Democracy Of
| Nevada have nominated Hen. George W.
| Cassidy for Congress. Mr.. Cassidy has
been in Nevada since before ii was a State.
He is a progressive Democrat, has had
much legislative experience, and Is one OF
| the best debSters that the Nevada Senate
has ever possessed. For years he has been
| editor of the Eureka SENTINEL, n OF the
best little newspapers on the coast. No
man knows the needs Of Nevada better
than Cassidy. He is in advance OF his
| party on many important subjects, and Is
a fair-minded, far-sighted man. He would
represent Nevada with honor and ability
In Congress.
SILVER REEF MINER The Nevada DEM
ocratic State Convention has done itself
proud by nominating George W. Cassidy,
editor Of the Eureka SENTINEL, for Con-
| gresham. OF course all we old Nevadans
know Cassidy, and know him only to like
him and 1t is the Miners candid opinion
that, IL the State had been dragged with a
T! fne-tooth comb, q better or stronger can
didate for Congressional honors could not
have been brought to the surface. In this
instance the Democrats OF our ~neighboring
| State can do themselves the more proud
only by electing where they have nomi-
mated.
OwYHEE AVALANCHE: :. OF the two men
who are running for Congress in Nevada
Cassidy and Daggett-we prefer Cassidy,
for the reason that he is a gentleman of
liberal views, and fully the peer Of his
rival in intellect and ability. Daggett is
intensely partisan, and q bigoted advocate
OF extreme radical measures. The election
OF Cassidy would be the signal for a
brighter era in the progress and career OF
the Sagebrush State, cursed as she has
been hitherto by the elevation to power
OF the tools and minions OF despotic and
bloated monopolies.
WARD REFLEX: George W. Cassidy, the
Democratic nominee for Congress, is emf
nently sound on the Chinese and railroad
questions, as his record u the last Legis-
lature will show, and is also thoroughly
posted on mining matters-three strong
points in his favor. Barring bad breaks
between this and election, the Democrats
stand o better chance OF being represented
in the lower branch of Congress than at
any time since Kendall.
BELMONT COURIER The Nevada Demo-
cratic State Convention, held at Winnie
mucca on the 9th ult., nominated Hon.
George W. Cassidy, of the Eureka SEN
TISEL, as their candidate for Congress.
The Democrats could not very we'll have
made q better selection. That Mr.. Cassidy
has the ability and would make q good
Representative, there Is no doubt. He has
had considerable legislative experience,
and as q State Senator has made a good
record for himself.
Stock REPORT: Hon. Geo. W. Cassidy,
Of Eureka, has been nominated by the
Democrats Of Nevada as Congressman
from that State. Mr.. Cassidy possesses
considerable ability for a Democrat, but
the sin of Democracy will in all probable
ity prevent his ever lighting the halls OF
Congress with his graceful presence. The
only thing that gives him any chance for
election is that he is q journalist, as the
people OF Nevada are enthusiastically ap-
preciative Of the ~unbounded merits which
naturally attach to every Nevada journal
list, without regard to race, color or pre-
vious condition OF servitude. II he were
not a Democrat, we would extend him fra
ternal wishes for success in the election,

like Nevada fall 80 low as to return q Dem
ecrat to Congress. There was a Democrat
sent to Congress from that State once, and
divine wrath came in the shape OF cloud
bursts that nearly wiped the towns OF Eu
reka and Austin from the face Of the earth
RUBY HILL MINING News The Demo
cratic die is cast, and the Sage OF Poverty
Gulch is entered for the Congressiona
race. During the period we were con
nected with the SENTINEL we had ample
opportunities Of learning his many goot
qualities, and would be lacking common
gratitude to q man who invariably proved
q friend, should we fail to pay q tribute tt
his worth as q man and q citizen. Hi
public career 10 q matter Of record, ani
shows that he has accomplished much fol
Eastern Nevada, and especially for Eureki
county. As o man Of strong likes and dis
likes, he never hesitates to stand by
friend, and never attempts to conceal hi
contempt for an enemy. In all things
save politics, we wish him success, for ma
ture makes few better men han Geo. W
Cassidy.
GRASS VALLEY UNION The nomination
Of Geo. W. Cassidy, by the Democrats o
Nevada, for Congress. is . compliment t.
the journalistic profession, and well de
served by the talented and Independent
young Democrat upon whom the homo
was bestowed. Mr.. Cassidy was at on
time q resident OF Dutch Flat, Place
county, and subsequently the editor OF tn
Meadow Lake Sun, when that mushroom
city, situated high up in the mountains o
Nevada county, was In the zenith Of 1t
short-lived prosperity. Mr.. Cassidy ha
for many years been connected with tn
press Of Eastern Nevada, and his journal
the Eureka SENTINEL, Is second to n
paper in the State in enterprise and in
huence.
EUREKA LHApEn. George W. Cassidy
whatever his faults may be, is a man q
ability. He has had a legislative experi
ence that he will find useful in the yer
remote contingency OF his success: As
member Of a legislative body he is
worker. and always exercises an intiueno
beyond his vote. With one or tw
exceptions, his legislative record is good
He has made Q few mistakes in his legisls
: tive career that will be apt to tell againi
him in the canvass that he Is about entel
I ing. In point Of ability Cassidy's nomini
ton 10 the best that the Democracy OF M
vada has made in the past ten years.
