go much higher. The weather has been

been gathered, the rest being in the fields.

9ssE TEST OF Loyalty.

The Ruby Hill Mining News of Sat-
urday is embellished with portrait of
General George M. Sabin, who it says
is Eastern Nevada's candidate for Su-
premc Judge. 1t is little remarkable
that while the Republican papers. Of
Eastern Nevada think General Han
cock sho1ld not be elected TO an execu-
tive office because he is military elan,
they advosate the election of General
Sabin to the highest judicial position in
the State, because he is military man.
The theory OF the Republican press OF
Nevada is shat a Republican is quail
fed for any office, simply because he is
n Republican, while "a Democrat is not
capable OF fillisag any office, because he
happens to be a Democrat. Longstrset,
The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-07-27

the ex-rebel General may be safely en-
trusted with any office because he is a
Republican, but Hancock. though a
Union General, has his loyalty ques-
toned because he is Democrat. This
simply indicates that fealty to the Re
publican party, not devotion to the
country, is the standard by which
loyalty is. gagged nowadays.
