CARSON, November 27th, 1884.
Presumably you have heard that the
Carson Democracy ornamented the town
with sanguinary here last Monday, in
glorllcalion Of the election Of their
candidate to the Presidency. With the
exception OF the beautiful illumination
OF the Capital grounds, the celebration,
or whatever you may call it, was genu.

principally by Republicans, of course,
who mingled with their Democratic
friends on such terms of pleasantly as

rayed against each other in fierce and
desperate political strife, which, how
ever, was mared later in the evening
by bigotted haranguc from Garrard,
The Governors Secretary, which he pos.
slbly intended foI humorous talk. 1t
is my honest opinion that If Garrard
had the power so to say no Republican
would be permitted to exist within a
thousand leagues Of his unreconstructed
self.

against the accused was one difficult 10
prove and he received The benefit OF
doubt. Only this morning a Mason
said to me that there Is not member

Already there's feeling Of distrust
against Cleveland appearing on the sur
face Of the Carson Democracy. They
are afraid that he will not consign every
Republican office holder 10 the verge Of
