The Impression Made there by the
Republican Siumpers.
A prominent Republican of Ward sends
the following communication to the SENTI-
MEL, which is reproduced without change.
He was pleased with some of the party and
compliments them, others he does not like
very much, and he says that much, too:
WARD, New, Oct. 10, 1882.
EDITOR SENTINEL: On the 10th inst.
the vanguard of the Republican campaign,
consisting of Mr.. Strother, j. M. Dormer,
W. H. Davenport and j. A Stephens, came
here and all addressed the citizens Of
Ward on the political issues of the day.
sTRoTHER.
Mr.. strother was the first introduced to
the audience. He gave a simple statement
of his object in visiting our ''isolated
camp" after which he quietly subsidized
into an obscure corner, from which his
Tweedical visage peered from behind the
folds of the starry banner free" whose
protecting agis has too long been the
shield behind which cupidity has sat an
incubus like a deadly nightmare and
crushed out the very life and liberty from
the name of Republicanism. However,
hope sat upon the brow of the aspiring
candidate for gubernatorial honors like
the gloomy form of IN owl upon an aged
and ~leafless tree.
Mr.. Dormer was second upon the plat
form, and in a modest and gentlemanly
manner explained the object of his mission.
The next to address the audience was
Judge Davenport, candidate for Attorney
General. The Judges remarks were very
pointed, pathetic and patriotic. and were
highly appreciated by both Democrats and
Republicans. 1t may be somewhat graft
flying to know that Mr.. Davenport left a
good impression upon the minds Of his
hearers.
MoLAssFs FROM A BUNa HOLE.
Mr.. Stephens was next to take the stump
in behalf of the prospective and impending
Governor (f) and the suspended candidate
for State Treasurer who, like Gilpin's hat,
was left on the road because it was too big.
Mr.. 8. began his speech with an eloquent
eulogy on sagebrush and the bravery OF
Eastern Nevada pioneers. His blandish-
ments were as soft as the memory of first
love and the taffy flowed from his lips like
foaming molasses from o bung hole in fly
time. Uncle George" was handled by
the little orator with all the care Of a fond
and gentle mother protecting her Off
spring; while the man who was nestled in
the folds of his country's flag came in for
q share Of the doubtful honors for which
it is generally supposed he more than paid
the delineator for conjuring up.
HE TAKES a CIGAR.
The orator being over and the taffy still
warm in the ears of the expectant crowd,
they sought the inviting elixirs Of a neigh
boring saloon where they all took something
at the expense Of one Of the liberal citi-
zens, who told the barkeeper to set 'em
up" The candidate for Governor did not
drink, but he tuck" a cigar, which he
| slowed away for some future occasion,
perhaps to treat the little orator with. The
crowd got gloriously drunk at their own
expense, while the candidate for Governor
retired to his virtuous couch, and per-
| chance did dream of Gubernatorial halls
| and future r. r. schemes.
But vet, alas fond hope how oft
Within thy radiant smiles,
Deception turks. and lures us with
Her vain and wanton wiles.
CASSIDY H CRY.
Cassidy is the cry in this section, and it
is hoped that every voter true to his own
interests, be he Republican or Democrat,
will vote for George W. Cassidy.
REPUBLICAN.
