THE COMING ELECLIOS.
Although il is yet early for political
speculation, the Democratic press Is dis
cussing the relative merits Of the leading
men OF its party for tho Go~vsrnorship
OF this State. They apparently have

Of that party prefer to remain in the
background till their services are re-
quired. The Democratic party in this
State Is presumably no different from
the party elsewhere. 1t Is their custom
whenever an election is TO be held to
apportion the various Offices TO suit
themselves in advance Of an election.
without considering the probability OF
defeat.
The Democratic press has, II would
seem. lost sight Of the fact that Nevada
has a Republican party, and one that is
alive to the situation. Because that
party sees at to await the proper time to
select its standard. bearers. II is not to
be construed by the Democrats to mean
that they will allow the election to 60 by
default. 1t has also overlooked the fact
that Nevada Is o Republican State. and
the Republican ticket in November will
be the successful one. Tho only chance
for Democratic success will be for that
party to nominate men who will be &C.
csp,abis to all classes Of the people, and
for the Republican party to nominate
men who are inferior. But this will not
DO done. The situation is generally re-
versed.
The selection Of men to ill the Offices
soon to become vacant. county as well
as State. should be made with the Ut
most care. The best men OF the Repub-
lican party must be nominated for the
important Offices. and m intelligent and
judicious administration Of State and
county affairs i~naugurated. This can
only be accomplished by the exercise OF
equal care and judgment in choosing
delegates to the State and county con-
v~entions. Men who are capable OF
making judicious selections OF nominees.
and who are familiar with the wants Of
the people should make the ticket for
tho people to vote. and no person
who has yet to make a record should be
intrusted with this important duty. Men
are desired whose ability and political
standing are beyond question.
With the exercise Of such p%recaution
the Republican party can add one more
Of its members to the House OF Rep
resentatives, and thereby redeem our
State from unjust rsproach; can re-elect
its Governor and other State officers and
insure another term Of honest and COM
prshensivs management.
In Storey county judicious manage
ment is specially demanded. Men OF
business tact and integrity must be
elected to fill the Offices soon to become
vacant. To do SO. equal care must be
exercised With the county as with the
State Convention. With q ticket salts
factory to the people. every efise to DO
filed at the next election will have q
Republican incumbent. good govern
msnt will DO assured. aud the people OF
Storey county will be slow to repeat the
mistake made at the last election.
