WEEPING OVER DAGGEIT.

Mr.. Daggetts trlenus having rel'eI"Veo
the assurance in positive terms, and on
authority of the gentleman himself, that
he would not allow himself sent out OF
the country, it came to be universally
believed that he would remain as a bull
wark in Nevada Republican politics this
Fall; that be would go around the pre-
cincts of the battle born during the
campaign, sitting down on the intimi-
dated Democracy, especially upon those
from whom the damned spot Of re-
bellion has not lin his mind been re-
moved. We confess to a sense OF dlsap-
pointment ourselves, that Mr.. Daggett $
voice is not going to be heard in the
approaching campaign. There is a very
attractive feature in the discussions OF a
political canvass with such orators as MIR.
Daggett on the stump. There Is that
about it which suggests antlclpatlons
such as are stirred in the small boys
mind when he hears OF the coming cir
Gus. Who that listened to the speeches
of the new Minister to the Sandwich
Islands in 1879, and afterwards in 1881,
will ever forget his blood-curdling words
and his frantic gesticulations. In his
first campaign, attired as a miner, the
gray shirt being conspicuous, and look
ing as common as any other man, he
would lash his spirits up to a desperate
pitch and get beyond his own control.
At the awful moment, when everybody
was watching closely to see him expire
in an apoplectic fit, Or burst, he would
Jerk out ga vile incendiary sheet, spewed
up in r~ed.rebellious Mississippi" This
little old backwoods paper he would then
hurl upon the floor, but before it had
settled in place he would be upon it
with his crushing heel. By pantomime
and screams he thus Illustrated the
manner in which, if elected to Congress,
he would 90 for the Rebel Brigadiers
who still nestled treason "way deep
down in their seditious livers." He was
elected; but instead Of slaughtering those
in~nocents, our Minister to the Court Of
Calico found them to be such jolly dogs,
you know, and so much like himself, in
some respects, that he has not abused or
spat upon them since he got a chance to
do so. Daggett is really too good a
fellow to remember altogether as a stump
orator. He has an extraordinary faculty
of starting the laugh among Democrats,
while he cXcites his political friends to
tears. The Salt Lake Tribune thinks
that Mr.. Daggett is going to a place
whence the world will hear from him
through the expression of his genius in
poetry. The Tribune thinks that when
weary of pedro and solitaire, his soul
will voice the sentiment OF the waves in
immortal verse. There is no doubt that
at intervals, even in this unpoetic coun-
try, Daggett has felt and voiced the
"divine ecstaey," and we are satisfied
that q swinging hammock and the
deep ~neighboring sea will prove
for him q source OF continuous inspira-
ton. Hence, feeling that what is our
loss will probably be the gain Of the Min
lister, We do not experience that pang at
parting which distresses our stalwart
friend of the Carson Index, who groans
as follows: "The movement which has
rplp,ipatal -, tha ,11.N,,oI,, - H.. ID
". Daggett to the Hawaiian mission as q
removal os difficulty in the way Of re-
nominating Governor Kinkead, has pro-
dHced no small feeling Of bitterness.
The Daily l ndex is in receipt of CORE
gpondence which shows that the disap.
pointment felt in Mr.. Dsggett's purpose
to accept the diplomatic appointment is
keen. His assurance up to a late date
that he would certainly remain in the
field for the Gubernatorial nomination
until the last ballot at the convention,
are claimed to have been unequivocal and
most reassuring to his many personal and
party friends. Upon this point, how
ever, it is wholly unnecessary to COM
ment or waste ink and paper. Mr.. Dag
gett is out Of the fight, and is no longer a
factor Of Nevada politics. That is the
end of the business so far as he is con-
oerned. The corporations doubtless sup
pose they have effected a strategical
move Of no little Importance in thus get
ting rid Of a candidate who was thought
to be very strong in the Republican party
OF this State and a dangerous antagonist
for Governor Kinkead and his hackers to
encounter, But the end is not yet.
Selah!"
