o,irials will receive the same salaries
a. they do for the present term of office,
with the exception of the District At
,ornev. whose salary will be increased
$500 per year, making it $1,000 yearly.
The District Attorney has little or moth.
inc TO do in his office, and $1,000 year for
doing the work Of the Office is sufficient
CONDENSATION; but when it comes to pay
ing 81, 500 q year, it is an outrageous i'm
nosition upon the -burdened tax.
pavers Of the county The present Dis
trict Attorney, Mr.. Patchen, who is now
serving his second term, and who knew
he was to receive salary of Sl,000-im-
msnse pay for little work-had some per-
son who was competent draw bill up
for him, increasing his pay $500 per
wear. and forwarded it to one Of our bril-
liant representatives in the Legislature,
who introduced the bill into the House,
and it was passed. By his action, it
would appear, that it was the intention
of the District Attorney to camp in the
office. But the District Attorney is not by
auy means the only county official who is
Greatly over paid. With the exception
Of the Recorder and Treasurer, all our
county officials are receiving too large
salaries for their services. Some OF the
salaries should be cut down to nearly
half what they are at present This is
the reason why the RECORD asks the
voters OF Lincoln county to send good,
honest, trustworthy and men of sound
sense to the Legislature; men who will
endeavor to decrease the burden on the
shoulders of the taxpayers instead Of in
creasing it. For who can tell but what
some of the officers who will be elected
at the coming election will not, like the
District Attorney, through the goodness
of their hearts, decide to camp in the
offices to which they may be elected,
and have bills introduced increasing the
already enormous salaries; or, that the
District Attorney, who succeeded so ad-
mrably in the first iDstcnce, will not
again make an attempt to have the Leg
stature again increase his salary. The
voters on the outside, both ranchers and
miners. will find it to their own interest
to vote for the best men to fill the county
offices, irrespective of party. The tnan-
cial condition OF the county is such that
she cannot afford to support her officials
in luxury and idleness.
DEMOCRATIC PLATFoEM.-To-day we
publish the platform OF the Democratic
party of the State of Nevada, and OuI
subscribers, especially those scattered on
the outside and living on ranches, will
find it to their best interests to peruse II
carfully, and they will see for themselves
that the Democratic party OF the Stats
is opposed to monopOlies- In very plain
language the platform states this TACT
and to prove to the public that the Dem
ocratic party are sincere and will en-
deavor to carry out the reforms enunci
ated in their platform, they place tn
name OF Jewett W. Adams at the heaG
OF the State ticket, a man who has hliet
the Office of Lieutenant-Goyernor 10
eight wears, and more faithful seryan
has never been in the employ of the PEG
pIe. With Adams at the helm, the publ
will feel assured that the ship Of stat
will be piloted safely through all storms
The Republican party have platform
also, but they appear to fear exhibiting
to the public.
