CARSON CITY, June II, 1907.
EDITOR SILVER STATE: Daggett's accep-
lance of the mission to King Kalakau's
Court has left the anti Kinkead faction
without q candidate who can enter the lists
with any hope of defeating the Governor
for denomination. 1t is quite apparent
that Judge Leonard is not altogether
pleased with the present situation. Sabln's
appointment seems to hang fire, and so
far no one has been mentioned who could
60 into convention with anything like the
strength that Kinkead is morally certain
to have.
AN UNwARRANTED OPINION.
Democrats here are totally unable to
divine the cause of the opinion which
seems to prevail among Democratic Con-
gressmen concerning the politics of this
State. So far as I know there is not a we'll
informed member Of the party who is pos
sessed of a shadow Of doubt relative to the
certainty of Cassidy's nomination and
election. He is recognized by all as hav-
ing been the most industrious and efficient
member of either branch Of Congress who
has ever represented this State, and | am
not prepared to believe that SO faithful a
public servant is to be allowed to be
SIlGlt6u " dhy UOuys PiSouho Wv
Oregon election has been the prin-
cipal cause of the unwarranted weakening
in the East. Some one has recently said
that the Democrats can always be relied
upon to do the wrong thing at the right
time, and it seems that in Oregon the rule
has held good, for the nomination of cler-
gymen for both Governor and Congress-
man was certainly the most impolitic
thing that could be done. The change in
the voting population by immigration and
the lavish use of the corruption fund Of
the Party of Purity also contributed
largely to our defeat. Another thing,
locally the Chinese question cut no figure
whatever, the Republican members of
Congress from all three of the Pacific
Coast States having worked and voted
solidly with the Democrats upon the anti
Chinese bills. Had the election been ma
tional instead of local, there is no room
for doubling the entire success of the
Democracy. I would think our worthy
Congressman would feel like annihilatinS
the whole gang of doubling Thomases who
have promulgated the b~ack-capping opin-
ion that Nevada is to be lost to the party
at the ensuing election.
LOCAL POLITICS..
Ormsby county Democrats are dlsap-
pointed and displeased with what is be-
lieved to be the decision of Judge King,
to elect Washoe county as his residence
and become a candidate for the Judge
ship of that District, leaving the party in
this District without q candidate who can
successfully compete with anyone whom
the Republicans may nominated not
being believed that Col. Ellis could be in
duced to take the Office should his election
be assured. 1t seems a little strange that
those who control all Republican NOM
nations in this county should allow them
selves to be placed in a position rendering
it possible for the immediate friends of a
candidate for District Judge, or any other
Office, to =" demand the nomination of
anybody.
TOTAL ~DEPRAvITY.
What would you think of a State officer
who has grown wrinkled and gray in the
service of his country ~ who would form
a collision with a third-rate horse-racer
and gambler to rob a pair of Mint en-
ployes in the elevating game of d%raw-poker?
I think it is about as near total depravity
as anything I have seen for some time.
Still, it is men of this kind upon whom
the Republican party is relying for success.
God help Nevada, or any other country,
that is obliged to rely upon petty larceny
thieves for success. For one, l would
rather trust my interests in the hands of
men like D. o. Mills and Sharon, who
would scorn to steal anything less than a
State,
H DAILY Bee.
I know you nave been pleased to notice
that our little Democratic Daily Bee is
buzzing again as lively as ever, and il the
enterprising publishers meet with no
further accidents, there is little doubt of
their ability to make their venture a per-
manent success. 1t Is the only Carson
paper Of which l have any knowledge that
has had the independence to c~riticise when
and where criticism Ia deserved In many
respects 7 might except the Index; but
then, you know the good OF the party"
has a binding effect upon the vision OF
most stalwart editors.
ANOTHER CURIOSITY.
In addition to the Carson ouriosi ties
mentioned by the Silver State, I think we
arc entitled to the distinction Of poasess-
ing the most persistent bore in the
State. Should he meet you twenty times
a day, he will insist upon shaking hands
every time, and will inquire after the
health Of each individual member Of your
family, and assumes to be an astute pol
~itician; but every one possessed Of a grain
of political sense knows, by advocating
the cause OF any candidate, this intolerable
''stick tight" will damage him beyond
