EDITOR SENTINEL: This city. its bust

meeting house on a Monday. The Fourth
passed by without noise or evidence Of pa
trio,ism, further than was made and given
by the popping Of the little boys fire crack
ers, and about one thousand persons on
the ". & T. r. r. train on the morning Of
the 9Th to Virginia City. and u number Of

Political subjects are now and then

filters following tile demands of their lead

stammer that Garfield suits, while Repub-

made Of Garfield must be met in a prompt
aud an earnest manner or they will think
twice before casting their ballot. That the
charges are of too grave a character to be
met by silence. II these charges arose
from a disposition Of mere partisan SLAM
drrers unattended by any facts, they might
possibly be permitted a constant publica-
tim in Democratic papers without notice.
But Garteld's official dishonesty has been
proven by an investigation Of a Congress Of
the Unired States, and he. condemned by
members of his own party. and in bis own
Congressional District OF Ohio.

/ heard Geo. B. Hill, the determined and
Independent Republican, say a few days
since that he was not familiar with all the
details Of those charges. bnt would make
himself so in time, and if Garfield
was guilty as charged that he would not
vote for him, and there are many here who
listen to Mr.. Hill with m.,re than a usual

cast my first Democratic vote for Hancock /;
can't go Garfield" The Democrats Of
Ormshy feel proud and secure under the
leadership OF Hancock and English, and
as no crookedness Of any color or charac-
ter can be said If either. there is but little
need Of Democrats talking much inst now.
The inactive partisans Of the State wonld
do well to consider the reasons given by
the San Francisco Globe for making its en-
trance into the Democratic line. Among
other reasons is one which is worthy Of the
close consideration Of every labnriug voter
Of the State. The Globe SAYS =" We have
not been Influenced by partisan motives +;
IL is the good Of a class we are seeking, and
it is because we think we find that good in
the success # the Democratic party that
we have decided to labor for the election Of
its C tndidates. We have weighed both its
men and principles and do not ind them
wanting" And that they, the laboring
class, follow no longer the utterances Of
fanatical party leaders, who cannot to-day
nor never conld come any nearer giving a
reason for being a Republican han did
Judge Leonard when lie attempted to do so
at the satisfaction Of Garfield, and whose
attempt TO tell why he was a Republican
was given in ibis language " am a Re-
publican because my early teaching makes
me one and because my associates are Re-
puhlicans."
There is ZONE little behind-the curtain
gossip here relative to the State Treasures
connection with the failure Of the Reno
Savings Bank. though ~ the State money
has been counted and the proper amount
reported to be in the Treasury vanlt. the
public here seem to be easy at present.
