ticians, but we think we can come
pretty near doing it. Your magnetic
man is one of the common hogs of the
common herd and wallows in the same
pool of commonplace tastes and enjoy
ments. He slaps every Tom, Dick
and Harry on the back, calls man
"old boy" "Cap' or ''pard" on few
hours acquaintance, and says "yOu bet
your sweet life'' when coinciding with
your opinions. This magnetic man is
one who about election time likes IN
pat everybody on the back, shake
hands with every loafer and check
guerrilla as if it were an honor, sWill
whisky, tell broad stories and sing
rOllicking songs with suggestive Choir
uses. Some times the magnetic man
dances a holnpipe in a saloon, or joins
a p ker game with rowdies and loafers to
catch a few votes. He greets every
body with the coarse salutations which
in the West tickle the ears of the vul-
gar and degraded. There are men who
when Familiarity addressed by big
politician in some such way as
"Hello, you blasted son of gun, when
cid ye git in ~ consider it something
Of an honor, because they think the
crowd will suspect intimate relations
between the "son of a gun" and the
Office seeker. 1t is a matter Of con-
graduation to the Republican party that
its nominee is man who not only has
no taste for such methods of election
eering: but will positively abstain from
man who for the past twenty years has
been quiet, retiring gentleman, a
man who has kept alocf from carous-
iDgs and the crowd who think life is
only worth living while jamboree is
in progress, and who consider that q |
glass of whisky drank with candid
ate gives them more of an idea of his
caliber that half an hours serious con-
Mr.. StrOther will not
make sacrifice of his dig
nifty and lifelong rules of conduct
for the sake of obtaining any office in the
gift of Nevada. There are plenty of
people in this State who like fast lives,
late suppers, and general good time,
men who have acquired convivial,
mode of living, who look
upon MIR. StrUther's attitude with
respect, and who say that they ere glad
to see a candidate who is not around
buying votes with whisky and making
ion. There are those who growl at
Mr.. Strother because he does not keep
he stomachs of his constituents
pressed continually against a bar Let
hese GROWERS stop and think for a
and reflect how insulted they
would feel if anyone were to insinuate
hat their political support could be
Fought for a glass of liquor. We be-
ieve there is enough of the better ele-
nent in Nevada to give the proper
weight to Mr.. Strother's dignified atti-
ude in this campaign. He is not
making temperance fight or a fanat-
cal appeal to teetotalers. He likes
good wine the same as anybody, and
thinks it when he chooses, but he has 4
,etter idea of the people of Nevada to
hink that he can only procure their
ufrage by getting them drunk.
The APPEAL would like to know

hree persons were present at the meet |
ns, and up to date not over twenty
'ersOns in Carson have heard OF or
