what q Miner Has to Say OF Poli-
tics and other Matters.

AUSTIN, August -, 1880.
EDITOR SENT1xEL-The Virginia Chron
icle Of recent date calls upon the Demo
Gratis of this State TO organize for the
pending political battle. The Chronicle,
no doubt, will be pleased to learn that the
people Of this Coast are, 1t is safe to say,
already organized. The people Of this
Coast have made up their minds that they
have lived about long enough on the
bubbles, duplicity and
FALSE PROMISES
OF the Republican statesmen and leaders.
The people of this Coast have learned in
the school Of bitter experience that, not
only the trademark, but the whole politi-
cal stock in trade Of nearly all Republican
statesmen, from Daggett up, consist Of
nothing but cheats and delusions. The
people of this Coast are not as much in
terested to know that the very pavement
blocks Of the streets Of the National Cap
ital will rise up and declare Garfield a
bride taker, as they are to know that Gar
field has at all times been the implacable
enemy Of their every interest. The ruse
or stratagem Of Garfield d Co. on the Chi
nese question is altogether too thin. We're
the people to elect Garfield d Co. OF the
strength Of their promises, then the
distinguished" Chinese Commission Of
Hayes, Garfield Il Co. would return home
and tell us that all Cinnamon are angels;
that to restrict Chinese emigration would
be at variance with the ''policy" Of the
"great party Of progress and Christian
morality; that the honor Of this great
Christian Nation, and the honor Of the
''great Republican Christian statesmen Of
the Nation" can only be maintained by a
strict observance of the provisions Of the
B~urlingame treaty. One Of the many out
spoken planks in the Democratic National
platform has the right ring on the Chinese
question to suit the intelligent ears Of the
people on this Coast. 1t plainly declares
that
THE CHINESE MUST NOT COME"
The people, therefore, will hold the
Democratic party firmly ur to that doc
trine. They will first elect Hancock Pres
ident, then compel him, as well as all Dem
ocratic Senators and Congressman, to
closely ''toe the mark" as regards their
pledges to the people on the silver and Chi
nese questions. The people will demand
Of the Democratic President and both
Houses OF Congress a law forever restrict
ing Chinese immigration to these United
States. The people will demand that their
grievance on the Chinese question shall be
redressed at Washington if not in China.
Some few
REPUBLICAN EDITORS
In this State are trying hard now to make
those interested believe that Mr.. Daggett is
a friend Of the industrial and laboring
classes. This is hard work, and will prove
an uphill job. Daggett's long servitude
on the Enterprise settles his status as the
tried friend Of the ~monopolists in season
and out of season. There is not an intel
ligent man or m in this State who can
truthfully say that Mr.. Daggett, during
his time on the Enterprise, ever spoke q
word, advocated q measure, wrote one line
or breathed one breath that was not di-
rectly at variance with the interests of
miners, printers and all other industrial
classes Of this State. How did Mr.. Dag
gett stand on the square location mining
bill 2" The miners Of the State all know
that Mr.. Daggett was in favor OF passing
the modified square location bill, viz a
square of 900 feet to each mining location.
II is unnecessary to say that the miners of
Nevada will not vote again for Mr.. Daggett.
OLD LANDER COUNTY
Is well nigh bankrupt. The tax rate this
year is about 81. ! am informed that
there will be a strong effort made by the
people of Lander, Nye and Churchill coun-
ties in the next Legislature to reduce the
salary Of the Judge of the Fifth Judicial
District Court from S., 600 TO $500 a year.
Indeed, it is o shame that a poor, hard
working people of these counties are COM
PEELED by law to pay a District Judge such
a high salary to a man for doing almost
nothing. 1t is said that the Manhattan
and railroad companies will do their level
best this Fall to capture and " tho As
SCISSORS and a majority of the Board OF
County Commissioners. By law the salary
of a Lander County Commissioner is fixed
at $500 a year. Rather small pay.
Mr.. Tom Triplett, OF this city, feels
greatly dispirited because he has met with
such poor success in the sale of Parson
Garield's pictures-by the Toledo Blade
artist. Tom is to be pitied, but then he
should have known that, as the bump OF
Credit Mobilierativeness in Parson Gar
fields head showed SO plainly in the pict-
ure, few people could be induced to buy Q
relic NJ eunh moral depravitv.
