THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.

A Republican journal Honestly
youches for Their Merits.
The Reese River Reveille, an able, and
at the same time conscientious Republic
can newspaper, speaks the truth about the
ticket put in the field by the Democratic
State Convention as follows: William
Burke of White Pine, nominated for
Lieutenan Governor, is comparatively un-
known to most of the voters OF the State,
but he is represented as a gentleman of
ability and sterling integrity. Of Col. M.
N. Stone, for Justice Of the Supreme
Court, the same may be said. James W..
Richards, nominated for Secretary Of State,
is County Clerk of Churchill County, and
is well known as a good man, well quail
flied for the higher position to which he
aspires. George II. Shepherd Of Elko, for
State Treasurer, is an excellent nomina-
ton, and George W. Merrill Of Eureka,
for Acknowledgement, formerly was a
member of the Assembly and its presiding
officer. 7. l.. Ham of Humboldt, for
Clerk of the Supreme Court, is a good,
honest printer, which is recommendation
enough. George Ernst Of Nye was the
best and strongest nomination the con-
vehtion could have made for Surveyor
General. A. J. MCCARTHY, nominated for
State Printer. is a young man. but very
capable. A. E. Kaye, for Superintendent
of Public Instruction, is not extensively
known, but is stated to be every way quail
flied for the position. AS for W. G.
Grimes, nominated for District Judge of
the Fifth Judicial District, comprising the
counties of Lander, Nye and Churchill,
his good qualities and eminent fitness for
that responsible position are sufficiently
well known and recognized. Altogether,
the ticket is a strong one, especially the
head of it, the nominees for Governor and
Congressman, Adams and Cassidy"

No "~Sunday Laws i'm Nevada
lords Day Mt she italian Ranch.
1t is Democratic doctrine that the peo-
pie, untrammeled by statutes, shall be
masters of their own morals and dispose of
their time in every day of the week as they
see fit, and according to the dictates of
their own consciences alone. The grand
success of the Union Guard picnic, the
second and last day, last Sunday, shows
what the sentiment of this community is
on that subject, which does not agitate
Nevadans, but which is vexing the public
mind of California now more than any
other question in a hot political campaign.
That our folks think Sunday is as good a
day as any other for recreation (which
means rest was proved by the numbers
which flocked out to the Italian ranch on
the occasion mentioned. Ruby Hill was
nearly depopulated by the exodus, and
Eureka was well represented on the
grounds. Adams and Cassidy, the only
candidates who remained over from the
Democratic State Convention, were pres
ent, while aspirants for county offices were
too numerous to mention. The Guards
struck a bonanza in the time selected for
their picnic. No people are so liberal as
candidates.
As stated in our report of the first days
festivities, everything was in order on the
grounds to in~sure~the most amusement
and the greatest possible comfort to the
crowd. The target shooting was spirited
and watched with much interest. Tom
Rosvear got away with the first and Henry
Tinnptt tho co1pnd pri1a with uapras nf AZ
and 40irespectively.
The lowest score (6 out of a possible SOY
was made by H. s. Richard, for whom
there will be a special meeting called to
devise an appropriate medal.
BENEFITS got away with the first, Tickle
the second and John Nicholas tho third
prize in the glassball shoot.
The jolliest feature of the day was the
foot-race among the ladies, eight of whom
were entered for the contest. The specta-
tors looked on in amazsment as two of the
runners shot away from the starting point.
These ladies', Mrs. Bergman and Mrs.
Johns, took off the prizes.
AL. Dennis came out first in the 100-yard
foot-race and Johnnie Green second.
In the boys foot-race Tommy Jenkins
was chief.
Upon the arrival on the grounds of Hon.
George W. Cassidy and Lieutenant-Gover-
nor Adams the crowd were dancing. The
dance music was Immediately stopped, and
the band played s%plendidly in serenade Of
these distinguished visitors.
The most substantial part of the story
is that the Union Guard Company took in
5000 on the grounds. This, with the
many elegant and costly presents made
them for prizes, render their picnic a grand
success.

A MurderOus ARRAY.

A dispatch from Frisco (Utah). via Salt
Lake, to the San Francisco Examiner,
under date Of Sept. 7, gives the following
account Of what seems to have been a bru-
tai murder, the full particulars Of which
we will no doubt get from the Phoebe Rec
ord which is due here this evening:
Henry Rice arrived here to-day on a buck
board from Spring Valley, Southeastern
Nevada, bringing news Of the killing, at
II o'clock on the night of the 4th instant,
Of a man named Coffee by Lew Carpenter
at Panaces. The killing was the result OF
a horse-race dispute; and is considered d
wilful murder. The alteration was over
a race proposed between Carpenters Sell
kirk and Dan. Neiswanger's Desert Colt,
for $500 a side. $3.50 forfeit. Coffee,
Deserts hacker, drew out and paid the
forfeit promptly. Carpenter wanted q
race and followed Coffee all the evening
with abuse, and at II O'Clock began shoot
ing. Coffee returned the fire, each send
ing three shots, all Coffee had in his
pistol, which he then threw at Carpenter.
He ran, bleeding, to q ballroom, where
Carpenter overlook him and knocked
down and jumped upon the dying man.
The murderer narrowly escaped lynching
by the efforts Of his friends and the fleet
ness of their horses.

Her Continued and Extraordinary
Success In the Old World.

G.. A. Bauer of Austin is in receipt Of a
letter from Charles De Grass, his brother
in-law, who is at present sojourning IN
Europe. Mr.. De Grass e~ncloses a couple
Of slips cut from the German newspapers
Of which the following are extracts:
PRAGUE, Aug. ia series of operas by
the Italian Opera Company, under the
management Of Merrill, was commenced
here yesterday. On the opening night was
presented "~Somnambula." For the pres
emit only Miss Emma Nevada, Signor Ben
fratelli Lyric Tenor and Signor Casper
mi (Basso) are singing. Signora Nevada,
an American, who acquired her education
in Vienna, achieved a perfect and glorious
success upon this occasion, in fact, all
hearts were attracted to her artistic rem
dition Of her difficult role. The gentle
men were, however, not more than an
average, and, therefore, formed but little
impression.
And again, on Aug. Is, is announced
from Prague as follows: Merrilli's opera
troupe acquitted themselves yesterday in
Verdi's ~sRigoletto" in an admirable man
ner. Baselli, as Rigoletto, Arambura, as
Dire, and Miss Emma Nevada as Gilda,
were much applauded. Particularly was
this the case in the pleasing and harmoni-
ously artistic performance OF Signora Ne
vada. In some passages she surpassed in
symphony and grace of action anything
yet rendered our opera-goers. The per-
throughout was o complete
ovation to Signora, and We earnestly pray
for her return to us with her sweet warb-
lings soon again.

Comnlimentarx MentIon.

The Daily Morning Democrat of Austin
makes the following pleasant mention of
two of our neighbors:
Hon. Geo. W. Merrill, whose ability as
a presiding officer in the Assembly Hall is
we'll and favorably mentioned by all OF our
Assemblymen, o figures in the race for
the office Of Attorney-General. He will
be the right man in the right place, and
we hope to see him elected.
A. E. Kaye OF Eureka has accepted the
nomination for Superintendent OF Public
Instruction. He is q man we'll thought OF
where he is best known, and having been
an educator for years he knows what is
needed, and, if he is elected, will endeavor
to awe everything relative to the
duties of his position strictly and honestly
complied with.
