CARSON Crry. August rs, 1880.
EDITOR SENTrNEL-Nothine has aroused
the Carsonites from their lethargic condi-
ton since that entertainment given to
them by Mr.. Bishop Of your county. 1t
required several days Of an animated
double-featured talk to dispose Of Mr..
Bishops closing speech before the Repub-
lican Convention narrating the mode and
practice Of Republican vote buying.
The silence of the Superintendent Of the
Mint after the repeated hearing Of the seri-
GUS charges made against that institution
by responsible parties, is accepted here by
some as q confession of guilt, and the
truthfulness of the charges. ~Itappears as
though the silence is commanded by poll
ticians who deem it wiser to keep the mat
ter as quiet as possible until after election,
and risk the chance Of the public doubt,
or may be in regard to what has been said
than to have more mention OF it, and to
best secure that quiet is to keep silent.
State Treasurer Crockett and the Reno
Savings Bank matter is not yet at an end.
The quantity Of combustible material un-
derneath is too great and accompanied
with too much quiet friction to avoid q
general combustion that will throw the
whole matter to the surface. There are
some ugly tales now told Of extracting Sc
curities from the bank and cashing the
same in order to replace money in the
vaults Of the State Treasury. No one here
has been heard to express a belief other
wise than that the report Of the Governor
and Secretary Of State was q whitewash.
1t is quite true l expect that the State has
not lost a dollar, however crooked the
transactions may have been. Yet many
expressions of dissatisfaction are heard
consequent of the narrow escape by the
mere chance opportunity Of safely reach
ing the securities to prevent a lop. Rumor
Of respectable consideration says that the
appearance Of additional material will soon
cause some agitation of the public mind,
while it endeavors to decide a question OF
veracity between the Governor and Secre-
tary of State on the one side, and the At
torney- General on the other. You have
seen the card of the A~ttorney-Gen-
eral denying that he assented to
the report made and published by
the Governor and Secretary in the Crockett
bank matter. You have seen, also, the
CdAu VI tuC 0OvCAnOi ohQ oCSkC1&Ay3
asserting that the General did agree with
them in that report. The party friends Of
the General say that he will, at an early
day, give a card to the public, in reply to
that OF the Governor and Secretary OF
State, which will be an eye-opener, as well
as q mind-agitator.
Though matters politically are not much
spoken of, the prospect Of the Democratic
ticket in this county is better than at any
former approach of an election. There are
a number here for Hancock who as yet
have never voted a Democrat ticket. The
most of them ara found among the Inde-
pendent Republicans. Speaking Of this
class Of Republicans, calls to mind the
pleasure Of reading in the SENTINEL OF the
21st inst, a republished report of Gen. r.
M. Clark's views on the issues of the cam
paign, as given to a Silver State reporter
on the 18th.
The effect of the published views OF
General Clark, who is extensively and
favorably known throughout the State as
an independent voter, as well as an indie
pendent advocate, will be valuable to Han
cock. And particularly will it be valuable
to the Democratic nominees in this county,
where General Clark is well known, and
where there are many independent voters.
/ regret that the views of General Clark
have not already q wider circulation, for
one reason more than any other. that /
understand that he will not publicly en-
gage in the OBSERVER.
