WHEN A MAN MAY BOLT.

The circumstances under which q man may,
according to political parlance, ''buck" a ticket
do not appear to be clearly understood by
good many persons. When . man honestly
believes that the machinery of the party is
not being run in the interests Of the majority
and with an eye to the psrtys future pros
perity, he can withdraw his support from the
ticket and cast his vote for the opposition.
There is but one method however, that he
can adopt by which he can pave the way to
this Reputation of party allegiance. He must
let 60 his hold upon the party by casting off
all the ties that bind him. He must take no
part in its political meetings, and he cannot
as an honorable man participate in the prim-
ary elections. A voter who conscientiously
remains away from the primaries because he
believes that certain clique will elect ticket
that he is opposed to, has perfect right to
cast his ballot at the regular election exactly
as he sees fit and no one can blame him for so
doing Every man who casts his vote
at the primaries does so with the under
standing that he pledges himself to abide
by the result and vote any ticket which the
delegates elected at the primaries may select.
Nointelligent man can gainsay this fact, and no
honorable man will attempt to vote at prim-
ary unless he stands ready to accept the re-
suit in case the majority do not think as he
does. So long as this political principle is
maintained so long will the party present
solid front to the enemy. At the primary
election to-day there will be numerous tickets
in the field and no end of states, combinations
and combinations in the interest Of this man
and that. This is perfectly in keeping with
the aims and purposes of such an election.
One man his as much right as another to put
ticket in his interest before the voters and
work for it. Where so many men want Office
and where many rival factions and clash
ing interests are represented there is bound
to be many who will be, as the saying
is, cleft in the cold" Any man who
has good stuff in him, however, will not go
about after the fight is over making an exhi-
bitiom Of his wounds and asking for sympathy.
A defeated candidate who acts in the manner
described is simply baby at heart and de-
serves nothing but defeat, and no man who
really looks upon the interests of the party as
paramount to his own will ever do it. Let
as have a good, square fight at the primaries
to day and after the smoke has cleared away
let the waring factions shake hands and COM
bine to sweep the Democracy back into OBJ
liyion in November

Tom WREN STILL on DECK-Hon Thomas
Wren candidate for the U. S. Senate on the
Republican ticket Was in Carson Yesterday
He was interviewed by an APPEAL reporter
on his candidacy, and thus outlined his inten-
tons: 81 shall remain in the fight until
the Legislature decide upor THEM choice. The
fact that two sack candidates are in the field
makes no difference to me. The APPEAL
madel an inquiry regarding the honesty Of
my intentions, and l stated unequivocally
that intended to pull to win, and still so
intend. was not surprised when l saw the
APPEALS editorial as had already received
several communications from Storey county,
stating that such reports were in circulation.
| am not in the fight with the view to assist
Sharon. My delegation will stand by me un-
til the curtain drops, and no vote will ever 60
for Sharon with my consent The delegation
is pledged to me as strongly as delegation
can we'll be, and all--with perhaps one excep-
tion--are warm personal friends of mine.
The people have been made to believe that no.
body can win political honors in Nevada un-
less he is rich. l have faith in the people
still, and believe that the sack cannot always
win. The Republican ticket is sure to win in
Eureka" Mr.. Wren whose qualities as
slayer are we'll known, is without doubt in
he fight with the intention Of remaining in
until he sees the close of it.

How SHARON BEARS THE BURDEN
Stockton Herald saws:

How SHARON BEARS THE BURDEN.--Th
Stockton Herald says:
Now that he is again candidate for the
Senate, it is fitting and opportune to recall
Senator Sharon's declaration, uttered within
the year, that "The wealth of the country bears
the burden of government, and it should con-
troll it.. This is the arrogance of riches, of
the imperious despotsm of plutocracy. How
do the Nevadans like it,
This utterance is hardly in keeping with his
attempt some years ago to evade his taxes on
property assessed in San Francisco. He put
in the plea that he was a resident of Nevada.
The assessor took the case to the courts and
the Court decided that Sharon was a resident
of California and must be taxed on his in.

A LIGHTNING CHANGE ARTIsr-A good
many of Col. Fairs friends were little sur
prised that he came out a candidate on the
Democratic side. They expected better things
and his henchmen were talking up his non
partisan status and Republican leanings few
days before Sharon's primaries. 1t is now
currently whispered about that the Crawford
plan introduced in the Storey county prim-
aries was in Fairs interest, and had that
plan succeeded it was his intention to have
run on the Republican ticket. 1t will be re-
membered what pains he took not to commit
himself and how strangely his letter of &C
ceptance read. He luke-warmly endorsed the
Cincinnati platform, but never touched on
State politics. A man who is such political
lightning change artist as Fair is willing to be,
is hardly the man that the people of Nevada
will trust with so important an Office as United
States Senator.

~shb The Best Track and Finest
Grounds for a Fair in the state.
Last Friday we had the pleasure of
visiting the Audrain county fair
grounds, in company with II. w.
Tureman, president of the fair asso-
cation. The association owns 80
acres of land about one-half mile
southwest of Mexico. One-half of
it has been surrounded with an anti
small-boy-sec-through and an anti
tai -boy-see-over fence. This forty
acres of land, enclosed for y fair
ground, lies beautifully for this pur-
pose, sloping slightly each way from
the grand stand. Shade trees have
just been planted and promise to do
well. The grounds have been i'm
proved under the supervision of X.
w. Tureman, in the most approved
and modern style. One hundred
and seventy-iive neat and roomy
stalls have been built for the use of
stock. a large and deep pond, which
is almost Il lake, furnishes stock
water. The one-half mile track is
so feet wide and the best in the State
and lies bcaulifully-every inch of it
is plainly visible from the amphithea-
tire. The amphitlleatre is 260 feet
long and has u holding capacity of
10000 people. The grand stairway
to the promenade is t%hIrty-two feet
wide. Mr.. Wright, the architect, is
taking especial pains to bniId a neat.
as well as substantial, cditicc. The
band stand is Il beautiful payoda, AS
feet high and ~ feet in diameter,
with seats for the band and judges.
The floral hall isGi by 80 feet, with a
I6 foot ceiling, and a dressing room
for ladies' will he attached two large
wells have been made and water for
all will be plenty. The
prospect for a good fair is very flat
tering. A large number of horses
have arrived and we know of Others
expected. The fair will open on the
18th of September and continue five
days. A good fair is what every
county in the State should have, and
every nan in Audrain county should
take a pride in making our fair a sue
cess. We have elegant grounds
most tastefully and artistically i'm
proved, and all we need now is FOL
: our farmers and business men to TAXI
a living interest in the fair to make
| it u success. A good fair is wortl
thousands of dollars to a town ant
, county each year.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1880-08-12

Mr.. B. F. Dobyns, collector of the
revenue for Audrain county, is one
of the most faithful and efficient
officers in the State. No man in the
county is better qualified for this
office than Mr.. Dobyns. He has col
lected the revenue closer and prompter
than it has ever been done before,
and Audrain has had some good col
lectors. The best eulogy we could
pronounce on him is 10 say that he
will be nominated Oh the DIST without
opposition. When a man does his
duty in such a way that no man a
find fault, he is truly a good officer
trustworthy, meriting the confidence
of his party and the whole people.
Since Ben has been collector, he has
collected 81 per cent. of the taxes of
Audrain county. This is above the
average of taxes collected in this or
any other county in the State. The
people approaching his worth and
efforts in their behalf, with one voice
are unanimous in favor of his re-
election.
