PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.
The Kind of Men that Will Repre-
sent the Democracy.

Ahe htnd OF Men that Will Repre-
sent the Democracy.
We believe the State Convention, at
Austin, made the best selection possible
In the choice Of A. @. Ellis, W. E. F. Deal
and George Ernst, as Democratic Presi-
Dental Electors for this State. They are
men OF excellent standing in the party, OF
the highest responsibility among their
neighbors, Of unsullied reputation, en-
thusiastic in the cause, and in every other
way fit representatives Of Democracy. Mr..
Ernst is not q stump orator in the sense
OF being a story teller, or having the knack
OF saying such nothings as often hold,
without substantially entertaining, an au-
dience on political occasions; but he is
better than all this, he is a reasoner, is
logical and we'll informed. He is withal Q
clear, strong. sound talker, and one whom
1t will pay any crowd to listen to-. Col. A.
u. Ellis is the most fluent and graceful
speaker in the State. Thoroughly edu-
Gated, learned in the law, which is called
the perfection OF reason, disciplined by
many years Of practice in the art Of rhet-
oric, he is ever ready and at home before a
jury or confronting public a~ssemblages of
any character or size. He has the rare
faculty, also, Of driving his arguments
home without giving offense to those who
differ from him politically or otherwise.
He may be never so sharp and severe in
hewing to the line of his argument, but
his personality is lost in the charm
OF his reasoning and the grace Of
his e~loquence, 80 that those who
may be disposed to condemn him
for his views are ready to compliment him
on his power as a speaker. Probably, also,
there is hardly a man in the State 80
familiar as Col. Ellis ia with the facts Of
the political history Of the country and the
logic they involve. W. E. F. Deal, last,
but not by any means least, stands square
ly up along with the strongest and most
successful lawyers Of Nevada. He is a
close student in his profession, and he is
familiar with the best literature of several
languages. He is one of the purest-
minded public men on the Coast-in fact,
it can be truthfully and emphatically said
Of him, as, also, of Col. Ellis and Mr..
Ernst, that he is without blame and spot-
less ia reputation as q politician and as q
man. Mr.. Deal is an earnest, impassioned
speaker, and never fails to impress his
audience that he talks from the heart
which is the proper definition Of ~eloquence.
1t is to be hoped that these Presidential
Electors will each make Q thorough per-
sonal canvass of the State. In their differ
emit, individual way of presenting the
political issues Of the campaign, these gen.
tlemen will do a great service, not only to
the Democratic party, but to the people of
the State at large. What the great public
need, just now, ia q clear, faithful exposi-
ton of Democratic doctrine on which de-
pend the health and safety OF the nation.
An American with a Chinese Wife.
L. F. Fisher, a brother Of Wesley, the
famous baseball player, arrived in Phila-
delphis last week from China, where he
has been the past IA years, pursuing bust.
ness as a photographer, travelling over the
country. He brought with him a Chinese
lady as his wife, who is described as fair,
petite, intelligent, and not at all resem-
bling the Chinese seen in American cities.
Fisher says: II suppose this is the first
Chinese lady ever seen in this country.
High-class 500 Chow people never leave
China. They have been asked to come to
America, and their universal reply has been
that there are too many Cantonese here
and the 500 elbows would be degraded by

They are extremely anti-progressive. The
common class, those you see here, are
dirty and ~disreputable. They detest all
foreigners, but the opposing faction is
steadily gaining ground, and this party
welcomes the influx Of the foreign ele-

regime. There is opening q wide field fol
