NEVADA'S BAD REPUTATION.

The Gold Hill Ne,rs, once recognized As a
Sharon newspaper, has cut lesse from al
afiliation with the aspiring Senator from
California and gives expression to its views as
fellows:
1t is humiliating fact that, with our sis
ter States, Nevada has a very unenviable rep
utation for political honor. The name of 'rot.
ten borough" has, not without good reason,
been applied to this State. 1t has been even
openly charged by our own people that Mr..
- obtained the Office he now holds by
the corrupt use Of money, and that Mr.. A.,
B., c. and d. were induced by the payment
Of certain sums of money to renounce allie
glance to their old party, and to support him
fer Office and affiliate with his party. While
it is not eur intention to here repeat charges
made against any Of our public men, nor to
deny that "a sum of money as large "a our
public debt may be spent for political pur
poses and yet no enc be corrupted" still We
are compelled to admit that the charges Of
political lishsnor made against our State by
tho people of ether States have sufficient
foundation in fact to prevent US from insti
tuting libel suits against them because of the
charges made.
This fact admitted, the question for present
consideration is, can we as people, do any
thing to recover our former status and good
name Can we by repudsting the preten-
ten of Office seeking knaves, and by the cleo
ton Of upright men to Office in future win
back our lost reputation, and reinstatement
in the good opinion of our brethren abroad
The questions asked are entitled to our
most earnest considerations. For it cannot be
possible that oar people have sunk to that
depth Of political degradation that they have not
the desire to cut loose from tho control of the
corrupt knaves who have dishonesty obtained
sfice at their hands. We believe that if our
people desire to free themselves from the men
who have 30 degraded Nevada in the estima-
ten of the whole country. the means are in
their own hands,. But "whe would be free,
themselves must strike the blow. :"
Ono would imagine that the people Of the
State would gladly embrace the opportunity
of lifting the load Of political Disgrace which
rests spon them. 1t seems as if the majority
had decided upon such course. but on all
is heard the cowardly whine, "We can't beat
coin." The sack has been sort of skull and
crossbenes which, shaken in the face Of the poo
pie, causes them to quake with terror. Battles
can never be wen with such a sentiment in.
spring the ranks Vi the masses NeVsoahs
boast Of their independence of thought and
actlsn yet they remind one of those of whom
the Psalmist wrote when he spoke of the men
who, "being harnsssed and carrying bows.
turned themselves back on the day of battle.
There is No State in the Union but Nevada
which would permit non resident to invade
its soil and wrest from the people its highest
political hsnors.

A Word WITH MIR. WREN. Since the an
nouncement that Hon. Thomas Wren of Eu
reka, was candidate for the United States
Senate, many staunch Republicans have spo-
ken favorably of the proposition. Mr.. Wren
is recognized as q man of honesty and ability,
and his fitness for so high an Office is gener-
ally recognized. Within the last week, how
ever, it has been rumored, that Mr.. Wren is
in the field, not with any intention of secur-
ing the prize, but for the purpose of bringing
ia delegation from Eureka, whose strength
at the proper time can be thrown for William
Sharon, the San Francisco stock speculator,
who is now running for the position of U. S.
Senator in this State. One gentleman of
high standing in this city is reported to have
overheard Sharon say, "Tom Wren will fix
Eureka for me" These rumors are working
a material injury to Mr. Wren, and if he has
made no such alliance with Sharon, the AP-
PEAL suggests that it might be we'll for him to
SO state unequivocally and decidedly over his
signature. Let it be distinctly understood
that the APPEAL makes no such charges
against Mr. Wren, nor is this article written
with any view to injure his chances for the
Senatorship. The rumor is daily gaining
ground, and it is but right that Mr. Wren
should be made aware of these reports that he
may have an opportunity to refute them.
A STUPID CH1NAMAN- York Charley
the Chinaman who was lynchea on Monday
for the murder of &. w. Mardis. was de-
tected through his own stupidity. After the
murder he took off his shoes and walked along
the road that his track might be mistaken for
an Indians. When he was taken, the dis
covery was made that he had six toes ON one
foot which exactly corresponds with the
tracks. He then acknowledged his crime
and was lynched by his countrymen. The
Eiko Independent says: AT the earnest SO
licitation of the leading Cinnamon at the
camp, New York Charley was turned over to |
them, and as the funeral procession which |
to their last resting place the re-
mains Of poor old Mardis fled down the |
street, similar cortege, bearing the body of
his murderer, issued from Chinatown, and |
slowly moved toward the Chinese cemetery.

8 nothing more than fair journalism and the

THB fact that Mr. Sharon has gone home
to California to retain fresh newspapers in his
service to open fire on the APPEAL, is high
compliment to its influence, and shows very
conclusively how he rates the services of his
Nevada organs. We are daily expecting an
attack on our flank from Portland.

WAsHoE COUNTY TAKEN INTO Can't
begins to look as if Sharon had succeeded in
capturing Washoe County. The Republican
Convention passed a resolution to the effect
that the voters of the county desired a change
in the office of T. S. Senator, and instructed
the legislative nominees, if elected, to vote as
q unit for "a resident Of the State. The
men on the legislative ticket are now openly
charged with being puppets for Sharon. They
can excuse themselves in voting for Sharon if
they see fit, on the grounds that they consider
him resident of the State. These men un
derstand the spirit of the resolution, and if
they break their pledge to the Convention on
that ground, they would do it on any grounds
The Convention met to nominate an anti
Sharon ticket. The majority wanted an anti
Sharon ticket, and if the members failed to
nominate the sort Of ticket they wanted, it
only shows that they were not the men for
the situation. If they allowed themselves to
be fooled and oodwinked, it was their fault
and no one elses.

MUST EARN THEIR SALARY.-Two Califor-
nia papers. The Bedie Free Press and San

are now devsting their spare time to abusing
the editor of the APPEAL from political,
business and personal point of view. 1t is
only quite recently that either of these jour-
nails manifested the slightest interest in the

these organs mean half Of the petty and IN.

leaving stock matters to the Exchange, which
now more fully occupies the mining field, and

1t is said there are some Virglnians
so anxious to defeat the party with
which they have heretofore acted that
they will put a third presidential elector-
al ticket IN the field next November in
ordsr to divide the democratic vote, and
thus give their State to Garfield. When
the deluded followers Of these men are
informed, as they will be by the demo-
cratic electors, that the man whom
their leaders desire them to make Presi-
dent made speeches. which will be read
to them, 10 favor Of perpetually dis
franchising, and con6scating the lprop-
erty of every man in the State who
took the part Of the South in the civil
war; we say when they are informed OF
all this and of the numerous bloody
shirt speeches Mr.. Garfield has made
since these 10 which we specially refer,
in all probability they will be disposed
to let their leaders march off by them
selves to join the republican ranks,
while they turn back into the old demo-
cratic fold'-Alex. Gazette.

lights were procured a frantic rush
was made for chairs, liie-preservers
and mattresses, in which husbands
were separated from their wives and
mothers from their children, while,
add to the horror Of the situation, il
was found that the Earragansett
was on fire. A rush was made for
the boats, and, as there were no
officers there to ship them, the pas
sengers cut them adrift and strug-
gled into them. The steamer was
fast settling,the heat from the burn
ing wood work was becoming in
tense, and with a last desparing eff
fort the terrified passengers leaped
into the dark waters, some with
life-preservers, others with chairs
or planks which they had succeeded
III securing.
The Narragansett soon burned to
the waters edge, and the ll,with
her entire cargo, sunk into eight
fathoms of water. AS no accurate
list ofher passengers was kept it
is difficult 10 estimate the exact loss
of life. 1t is believed that there
were 300 passengers on board, OF
whom the City OF New York took
200, while the Stonington carried
several 10 Stonington, and the hopes
are rot more than 20 or 80 were
lost. The Stoningtou, escaped with
but slight damage.

Wreck of the Narragansctt.

New YORK, June 13.-The
steamer Narragansett, which left
New York on Friday evening fol
Stonington, and her companion, the
Stonington, which left Stonington
for New York collided, off Corniield
light, near the mouth OF the Connec-
tlcut river, Long Island sound,
about Ills o'clock the same night.
A dense fog prevailed at the time,
but the captains of both steamers,
being confident Of their courses,
were sailing at fair rate of speed.
The officers of the Stonington first
sighted the Narragansett on their
starboard bow, and although every
effort was made to avert collision,
the bow of the Stonington struck
the port side of the Narragansett
forward of her wheel-house. The
shock broke the boilers and burst
the gas tank, and in less than fiji
teen minutes the steamer was on
fire. The passengers were nearly
all in their berths, and when the
crash came there was terrible con-
fusion. Volumes Of scalding steam
passed through the cabin, and for a
few moments no one seemed to
know what had happened. Men.
women and children rushed from
their state-rooms, many in their
night clothing, screaming and strug

ther ofThes. Francis Bayard, one of
the present Senators from Delaware,

early: Sunday morning. Deceased was
himself formerly a Senator from that
State; and was elected four separate
times. BE was the sen ofJames Ashe-
ten Bayard, one ofthe most distinguish

tors were Marylanaers who at one time
owned part of the Bohemia Manor, in
Cecil county, in tbi, State. The first OF
the American Bayards was Samuel, a
French Huguenot, wht came to this
country in l647, with a daughter and
three sons, from whom all the Ameri-
can Bayards are descended. James
Asheton, the venerable gentleman who
has lust died, was IN the Slst year OF
h,s ace. He was first elected to the
snate in 1850. He resigned when tn e
civil war broke out, in indignation at
the iron-clad oath, which, however, he
took: was reelected in 1863, and again,
to fill a vacancy, IN 1869, he and his
son. Thomas T, Bayard, being elected
the same day and occupying contem'
porary seats in the Senate. James a.
Bayard was a remarkable man in many
WAYS, stern in manners, yet OF ssch
commanding ability that his constltu'
ents esteemed as much as they feared
him. He had peculiarly great abilities
as a lawyer, and served on the Senate
judiciary committee. He was a man
oflarge frame, powerful .constitut lou,
and very absentminded ways, He was
an original democrat, having first run
for Congress in 1928 as a jackson man.
His reports and arguments on con.
st,tutional questions always had grea t
weight, and are still cited as authority.

The Nominations at Chicago.

The nominations at Chicago have
aroused no enthusiasm and the ticket is
generally regarded as very weak. The
record of Mr.. Garfield is one easily at
tackled and with difficulty defended
Grant was strong with a considerable
element in the party and while his
nomination would have elected violent
opposition, it would at the same time
have inspired enthusiasm in large ele-
ment Of the Republican party. Gar
fields nomination falls with dead weight
upon the party and there seems to be a
general impression; even among Re-
publlcans, that his defeat Is an almost
established fact. Garfield started out
as a preacher Of the Gospel, but fell to
the grade Of a tricky politician. His
connection with the Credit Mobilier
scheme, his denial under oath that he
was connected with it and that ne had
received dividends. the positive evi :
dence brought out that he was con-
nected with it, and his demand for his
share of the spoils, after his denial,
furnish abundant evidence that he IS
not the man to be placed in charge of
the administration Of the general gov
eminent, Weak as Gar6eld's record
renders the ticket, the blunder in the
selection of q candidatefor Vice-Presi-
dent made it even weaker. Mr.. Z. A.
Arthur, the candidate selected Is only
known as the friend Of Conkling and
the man who was removed from the
New York Custom House on account
OF irregularities. His removal was for
some time delayed by his friend Conk-
ling, but after investigation by Com
mission the necessity for reform, In the
management of the Custom House, was
so apparent that even Conkling could
not prevent his immediate discharge
Is 1t not astonishing that the great Re-
publican party Of the United States, for
the purpose of soothing the wounded
pride of one man, would place so weak
a candidate, for the second position in
the Government, before the people !?
The malignity Of the different factions
in the conyention resulted in the selec-
ton of very poor ticket.

convention was TO be held. If the
