THE TEST.

The argument advanced by the Times of
last evening, that the test prescribed by the
Central Committee is bound to split the Re-
publican party of Ormsby county. is not sus-
tanned BY the facts in the case. The test is
similar to one which has commonly been
adopted in other counties in Nevada, and is
one to which no good Republican can demur.
Any man who vstsd for majority of the
officers ON the county ticket two years age
and proposes to vote the county and national
ticket at the next election. can vote under it.
It shuts cut No good, square Republican, and
the attempt to make capital cut of it comes
from but few men and these the chronic
GROWERS Of the party. There are numbers of
men in Ornsby county who did not vote for
a majority of the Republican nominees two
years ago, whs publicly proclaim that while
the test will prevent their voting at the pri-
maries, they are willing to abide by the re-
suit and vote the straight ticket at the gen
eral election. The assertion by the Times
that not over one hundred men can vote at
the primaries under the test is incorrect, from
the fact that over four hundred straight Re-
publican tickets were voted at the last cleo
ton. We refer tho editor of that paper to
the poll lists in confederation of this state
ment. The men composing the Central Com
nittee are the trusted servants Of the party,
and their high standing should protect them
from any slur. We regard the resolution
offered by Mr.. Bender at the Garfield and
Arthur Club as unwarranted advice. He
took it upon himself to instruct the Central
Committee in reference to their duties, and
was one of the officers of club founded for
national purposes only. 1t has nothing what
ever to do with county affairs. But q small
number of persons voted for the resolution,
most of the club not voting The advice was
rejected by the Central Committee, as it
should have been. There should be proper
respect shewn for the Central Committee, and
respect must likewise be paid to party disci-
pline and organization by closing up all
breaches in the ranks. We hope the men
who have sought to create dissension will
unite in the interests of peace and harmony.

thority upon solid basis, We hope to see the
Judges Of Election use the rod as leniently
as possible, SO that when the primaries are
over there will be no cause of dissatisfaction
in any quarter, and every man who is in the
race may have an equal chance.
LET THEM REFLECT On the foreshad-
owed result of two sacks iu the campaign, the
Gazette has the following sensible advice: cit
is the general opinion that COL Fairs candi-
dacy will bring two sacks into the campaign
instead of one. We are of the opinion, and
we hope We are correct, that instead of open
ing an additional sack, it will have the eppo-
site effect and close Mr.. Sharons. The latter
must see that he cannot afford to put any
more money into the contest than Fair, and
we hope they both will see the matter in its
true light. 1t will be disgraceful to have two
millionaires come here and g to buying their
way into the Senate of the United States, to
say nothing of the fact that that body may
send committee out to see how the election
was carried on. Let the two candidates con-
tribute fairly to the legitimate campaign funds
Of their respective parties and then take their
chances before the people,"
