Jam eS A. Garfield may well have been
happy man. No foreboding of evil
haunted him; no slightest promotion
of danger clouded his sky. His terrible
fate was upon him in an instant. One
moment he stood erect, strong, conf
dent IN the years stretching peacefully
out before him. The next he lay
wounded, bleeding, helpless, doomed
to weary weeks of torture, to silence,
and the grave.
Great in life, he was surprisingly
great IN death. For no cause, in the
very frenzy Of wantonness and wicked
ness, by the red hand of murder, he
was thrust from the full tide of this
worlds interest, from its hopes, its as
plratlons, its victories, into the visible
presence of death-and he did not
quail. Not alone for the one short mo-
ment in which, stunned and dazed, he
could give up life, hardly aware of It's
rellnquishment, but through days OF
deadly languor, through weeks Of ago
ny, that was not less agony because ST.
lently borne, with clear sight and calm
courage, he looked into his open grave.
What blight and ruin met his anguish
ed eyes, whose lips may tell-what bril-
liant, broken plans, what baff1ed, high
ambitions, what sundering of strong,
warm, manhood's friendships, what bit
ter rendlng of sweet household ties !!
Behind him a proud, expectant nation,
a great host of sustaining friends, a
cherished and happy mother, wearing
the full, rich honors of her early toll
and tears; the wife OF his youth, whose
whole life lay in his; the little boys not
yet emerged from childhood's day OF
frolic; the fair, young daughter; the stur-
dy sons just springing into closest COM
partnership, claiming every day and
every day rewarding fathers lc j and
care; and in his heart the eager, re-

injustice in saying that be made an in
effectual attempt to secure the nomi-
nation for Lieutenant Governor at the
recent Democratic State Convention at
Eureka. To our certain knowledge
Colonel Moore absolutely refused to
| permit his name. to be used in that
connection, although unanimously
selected to become q candidate by the
delegation from this county. Hs was
likewise urged by large number of
delegates from other portions OF the
State, and had he consented to 60 be-
fore the convention at Eureka. it is
more than likely that he would
have received the nomination. 1, is
true that his name was prese nted bt fore
our County Convention for the nomi-
nation for Asssmbiymsn, but il was the
act OF his fris snds, aud his consent was
only obtained after the most earnest
solicitations upon their part. He re-
esIved large complimentary vote and
his defeat was attributable more to
geographical than any other reason,
his section having already been favored
with the nominations for County Clerk
and long term Commissioner. The
gentleman was Democrat up 10 the
commencement OF the war, aud for the
last four or Eve years he has strongly
disapproved Of the general policy Of the
Republican pagty. It's recent action in
Congress upon the Chinese aud silver
questions completed his disaffoction
and he publicly expressed his determi-
nation hereafter TO act with the politi-
cal organization which he believed to
be the best friend to the people. That
his change Of heart was not the result
of personal pique or disappointed pol
itical ambition il evident from the fact
that two years ago he was unanimously

Three Important Bills.

During n speech delivered by Hon.
George W. Cassidy, 1T Eureka, after
the Democratic Convention at that
place, Mr.. Cassidy referred to three
most important measures, particularly Y
affecting the interests OF tho Pacific
coast, contrasting the course OF the
dominant parties upon those we:ghty
issues. as follows:
II in the mind OF any you a doubt
exists about tho fact that the mining
industry OF Nevada will again be as
sailed il the Republicans should con-
troll the next House OF Representatives.
that doubt should bo dispelled at once.
! tell you that the danger Of demonsti-
cation Of Silver threatens US already.
The last lower House was Republican,
and among the first bills introduced
was one by Dingley, Of Maine, which
provides that the coinage and issuance
OF silver certificates shall be left to the
discretion OF the Secretary of the
Treasury. Should thiE bill become a
law it will probably demonetizs silver
once more. That bill is now upon the
calendar OF the House, and will DO
reached this winter. Hard and earnest
work will be necessary to defeat it, for
the great money powers Of the country
will be brought to its support. 1t
chief opponents will be on tho Demo-
cratic side Of the House, and the min
ers OF Nevada. II they have n proper
regard for their own personal interests,
will do all they can to strengthen that
side.
Now, fellow-citizsns. let each Of you
review for himself, calmly, fairly and
dispassionately, tho records Of the two
parties upon the three great measures
Of paramount interest to Nevada and
her people:-
Tho Regan Railroad bill,
The Anti-C Chinese bill, and
The Silver bill.
Upon everyone Of these questions,
when the crucial test was applied
when tho time for preaching and
promising had passed.. and the time for
acting, for rotiHg, had come-tho Re.

A CHATTANOOGA dispatch of the I4th
says: The Sheriff aud deputy of this
county were shot and killed to-day
while en- route to Knoxville with O
prisoner. II was the most daring
murder in the annals Of crime. John
Taylor two years ago killed Captain
Fletcher on the Tennessee. He escaped
at the time, but was finally captured
and brought TO this city. Ho had
several trials and at tho last term of
the Court was sentenced to ten years'
hard labor in tho ponitentiary. He
got an appeal to the Supreme Court.
That Court is now in session at Knox
Wills, and to-day at noon Sheriff Cate
aud Deputy Conway took tho East
Tennessee train, laving Taylor in
charge. He was handeuffed. Several
men boarded tho train mt Sweetwater
or Philadelphia, about sevsnty-iye
miles from hero. and while the train
was between Philadelphia aud London
deliberately shot and killed Cate and
Conway. Another man released the
prisoner and then took charge OF the
train, running 1t through London. At
Lemons station John Taylor and his
two brothers, Bob aud Andy, got off
and forcibly took horses and left for
the mountains. John Taylor was
wounded in The arm. The city is in
intense excitement. A posse OF thirty
men. with Springfield rifles, left on Il
special train on the Cincinnati Southern
for Kingstown and another posse will
leave, going overland. Cate has been
Sheriff two weeks to-day. He was one
Of the most popular men in the city.
He was about 80 years old aud leaves
q large family. Deputy Conway was
about 80 years OF age aud was promi-
mont local politician. Such excitement
has never boen known in Chattanooga
since the war. A special train bearing
the bodies will leave here tonight.
Ths shooting occurred about 4 o'clock.
A reward OF $500 Is offered for the
arrest OF the Taylors and the sum will
bs increased.

The following extract from the fourth
resolution Of the Nevada Republican
Platform seems to m TO be one OF the
most glaring exhibitions of cheek we
have met with in long time. 1t IL az
follows: "Ths relief extended to our
people by the passage OF law ezclud.
ing the Chinese by a Republican Con-
gress and approved by a Republican
President is a genuine cduss of salts
faction" How much the American
people are indebted to the Republican
party and Republican President for
the passage of the Anti chinese Bill is
exhibited in the action OF Congress and
the President on tho first or Twenty
years Bill. On the final passage Of
that bill in the Senate only seven Re-
publican Senstors voted for the bill.
and but two Democrats voted against
it. In the House of Representatives
siIty.two Republicans voted against
the passage OF the bill, whereas ther.
were but four Democratic votes in the
negative. When the bill was presented
to Republican President he returned
it with his objectionS. And in the face
OF these facts the Republicans of Ne
vada, in convention assem- blsd, solsmnly
declare that We are indebted to o Re.
publican Congress and o Republican
President for the passage of law
excluding tho Chinese. and. no doubt,
dodge the responsibility of the veto by
attribuiing to President Arthur such
profound wisdom aud vast penetration
OF mind that he discovered what the
combined wisdom OF tho nation had
failed to perceiye-that the exclusion
Of the Mongolian serfs for n period OF
twenty years would be q violation OF
existing treaties. Had President Arthur
vetoed the Tsn-years Bill his action
would have been endorsed all the same,
and a excuse would have been forth
coming sufficient 10 satisfy tho malcon.
tents aud unite the party for the coming
Presidential campaign.

this paper. says: George Tu1y, can

publican ticket. is. or was until few
days since. Cashier and manager Of the
Carson City Savings Bank. He has
recently withdrawn from his situation
in the bank, and ism ikinS the canvass
for State Treasurer. Itis apparent to
all but the "marines" and the hide
bound Of the Republican party that
Mr. TuAy's resignation OF bis place iu
the savings bank is but an electionser-
ing dodge. Is there anybody that
doubts but he will resume his Cashier
ship Of the bank II elected State Treas
urer? Hardly. 1t has been one OF the
| political tricks OF schsmers in both
partiesl throughout the United States
to so manipulate as to have tho Gus
todians Of tho peoples money, also, at
the head Of private banking institu-
tions. No intelligent reader of the
newspapers need be reminded Of the
thousand and one financial disasters
that have resulted therefrom. A word
by way Of intimation in these premises
is enough. It will DO remembered that
during the present administration in
Nevada the States money had to 'bo
snatched out OF The vaults OF the Reno
Savings Bank between two days. The
details OF this transaction need not be
reproduced. A bare reference to the
naked fact is sufficient. Not that tho
Sentinel has it in mind to say anything
dsrogatory Of our present State Treas
urer. The State has lost no money
through him. he has been a good
officer. Had the creditors OF the Reno
Savings Bank beat him in the race for
the recovery Of the States coin de-
posted therein, wo arc satisfied that hs
would have made the deficit good out
OF his own private finds at once, for
his means were ample for the purpose.
He Is an honest man, and had he not
been Director in the Reno Savings
Bank the mishap referred to probably
never would have taken place, aud
Mr.. Crockett's administration as State
Treasurer would have been above criti-
eism. Nor has tho Sentinel any dis
position to speak i'll OF Mr.. TuAy.
"Unols George" bears an enyiablo
reputation for honesty, rs does Mr..
Crockett, but the character OF the Re-
publican candidate for State Treasurer
is not now in question. Air. Tuhy will
6nd. and properly too. that his Rssocia-
ton with the Carson City Savings
Bank Temporarily suspended1 will be
. heavy load for him to pack in the
present campaign. There is nothing
OF the sort to haudIcap Hon. George
II. Shepherd, the Democratic cnndi-
date. He will have but one care. if
elected. and that will be the custody of
the States money.
