Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1880-10-19

RepIx to ;. Cactus.,,

Some funky has been writing q letter to
the Virginia Enterprise from Eureka and
signing himself as Cactus"
For the benefit Of our readers we select
the following extracts from that asinine
production:
We are we'll organized, and under the
leadership OF the Hon. W. W. Bishop,
Chairman of our County Central Commit
tee, who permits no man TO shirk his duty,
we are assured of success. n n n The
work, as a matter Of course, is arduous,
ours, who will feel that he has worked in
| vain? There can be no denial Of the fact
hat Mr.. Bishop is sacrificing his lucrative
law practice in his devotion to theinterests
Of the party, which he deems paramount
to everything else.
The other night the Hon. r. M. Daggett
made q speech in our new Courthouse,
and if you don't think the u~nregenerated
have been trying to dissect that speech
ever since, CALL ME AN ASS. The formula
BILE array Of facts and figures presented,
the articles Of arraignment and impeach-
ment of the Democratic party were con-
elusive, irresistible and unanswerable.
4 \ Il Daggett has made asplendid i'm
preston, and many of the wayering begin
to think that he will get away with the
Hon. George W. Cassidy in his own county.
No one Of our citizens have heard the
Hon. George talk in his W house, but it
is said, you know, that a "prophet is never
without honor save in his own country"
We will not only carry the head Of the
ticket, but every single nominee down to
Road Supervisor. This is the result Of
Observation-Disclosures organization.
1t is an old adage that 'sthe end crowns
the work." and we simply throw out the
suggestion that perhaps it would be as well
to wait until after the I'd day of next
November before so much praise is be-
slowed on ''intelligent organization" and
the sacrificing his lucrative law practice
for the good Of the party.
If we are to believe the public speeches
Of the Chairman with q lucrative law
practice the Intelligent organization
referred to means simply two dallars
and one-half and five dollars per head for
votes. OF course, Bishop and Cactus in
tend to carry the whole Republican ticket
down to Road Supervisor, at the coming
election. Has not this epistolary driveller
so writ it down?
The people who were bored nearly to
death by Daggett's two hours and a half
speech in the Courthouse, will be some
what astonished to find that it was ''irre-
sistible and unanswerable," but it will
cause no person in Eureka either pain or
surprise to vote in the affirmative solid,
when Cactus presses the invitation to "call
me an ass" With the pertinacity con
ciousness of Dogberry he writes himself
down that kind Of an animal, and no one
here disputes it.
If Daggett beats George W. Cassidy in
his own county" it will not be by reason
Of that speech, in which he declared Gar
field to be q purer man than Washington,
and staked his mothers chastity on the
issue of this campaign. If Cactus never
heard Cassidy speak in his own house, it
may be because that prickly parsonage is
not in the habit of getting into decent
mems houses. There is no doubt about
one thing. This campaign has produced
an ass 'sThis is the result Of organiza-
tion-intelligent organization and the
fellow can't help it.
