not of the heart. He has generally been a
friend to Washoe county, and he will have
the full strength OF his party in this sec
ton.
SAN Francisco EXAMINER: George W.
Cassidy, the able editor Of the Eureka
SENTINEL, one Of the soundest Democratic
organs Of the Coast States, was nominated
for Congress by reclamation. He ought
to be elected. as every good Democrat
hopes he will be. Nevada is new repre-
sented in the lower House Of Congress by
a Republican editor, Mr.. Daggett, Of the
Enterprise, and it would be in the eternal
fitness of things to succeed him with so
sterling a Democrat, so worthy q gentle
man and faithful public servant as Mr..
Cassidy. In the Nevada State Senate he
gained conspicuous distinction at the last
session. In Congress he will do still bet
ter for the Democracy Of his State.
ENTERPRISE: In nominating Hon. Geo.
W. Cassidy for Congress, the Democracy
Of Nevada, represented in and by the Win
nemucca Convention, have not only nomi-
mated their strongest man, but have shown
a due, but tardy, appreciation Of the
journalistic profession. We have no idea
that Mr.. Cassidy will be elected, but,
nevertheless, feel a professional pride in
his nomination, which is no doubt shared
by the press of the State. Mr.. Cassidy is
a man Of more than ordinary ability, his
one great fault, not to say sin, being his
adherence to tie principles Of that fossil
lied relic, the Democratic party.
SILVER STATE: The unanimous choice
Of the convention for Congressman and
Judge Of the Supreme Court, respectively,
are George W. Cassidy, Of Eureka, and
Judge Belknap, OF Virginia City. Both
have been in public life for years, in Ne
vada, and are well-known throughout the
State. Neither sought the nomination,
which was rendered by reclamation. Mr..
Cassidy has acquired a reputation as q
wide awake legislator, ever watchful Of
the interests Of his constituents, a ready
debater, thoroughly conversant with par
liamentary usages. and fully identified
with the interests OF Nevada. He will re-
ceive the full vote Of his party, and will
also draw heavily from the opposition, as
he has a good record in the State Senate
IN railroad and anti Chinese measures,
and il elected, as he certainly deserves to
be, the interests Of Nevada will not suffer
through any oversight or dereliction OF
his in the House Of Representatives.
CARSON TRIBUNE: The nomination Of
G.. W. Cassidy for Congress is considered
by the Democracy here as a good one as
we'll as a strong one, and meets a welcome
endorsement. Mr.. Cassidy is a live man
and an active and earnest worker, and il
elected will make a faithful and effective
representative. II a Democrat is to be
elected we prefer Cassidy to n other in
the State. He is a man of ability, and il
elected we believe that he will prove an
earnest and faithful representative Of Ne
vada. His experience snd ability as a
legislator is without q superior in the
State. This much we can say for a Demo-
cratic nominee we know SO well as we do
Mr.. Cassidy; our independence prohibits
us from saying less.
TMEs-REvIEw: The nomination Of Mr..
Cassidy was the best that could have been
made by the party, being as it is an ac-
knowledgment Of the claims of the Great
East, where the strength OF the party lies,
and a recognition OF one of the most pop
ular party leaders. Mr.. Cassidy will
doubtless poll not only the full party vote
but will also draw largely from the Re-
publican ranks.
WHITE PINE NEWS: The miners and
workingmen Of Nevada have no truer or
more faithful champion Of their just rights
than Mr.. George W. Cassidy. 1t behooves
the Republicans, if they would insure sue
cess, TO select a strong mar for the Con-
gressional race.
VIRGINIA CHRONICLE: George W. Cas-
sidy is undoubtedly the most available man
the convention could have chosen for the
Congressional nomination.
LYON COUNTY TIMES: The nomination of
Mr.. Cassidy as the Democratic candidate
for Congress makes 1t necessary for the
Republicans to bring forward a good man
to oppose him.
AUSTIN REvEILLE: George ". Cassidy
is a legislator Of ability, and 1t will take
the best man the Republicans can put up
TO beat him before the people.
