Ain Honorable citizen of Nevada

The Carson Index says: The departure
OF Hon. +. A. Tritle for his new home in
Arizona will mark an event in Nevada pol
tiles. In 1870 Mr.. Tritle was defeated for
the Governorship Of Nevada by a cabal Of
self-stvled reformers who professed to be-
lieve that he was unduly allied to the Bank
Of California. The same crowd has ever
since been the most ~obsequious slaves that
ever subjected themselves to the control Of
Nevada and California money sharps.
Meanwhile Mr.. Tritle has pursued the even
tenor OF his way, and stands to-day as one
Of the most honorable citizens Of Nevada.
The best wishes OF the people OF this Sec
ton attend him upon entering his new ca
rpar.
