CARSON LETTER.

ExOrbita nt Rents.

CARSON, November 18th, 1884.
During the past week Carson, l pre-
sumo, has been in more feverish state
of excitement than even New York over
the uncertainty of the Presidential
election, and the feeling at this writing
has not diminished, although most Of
the strongest Republicans here have
abandoned all hope Of Blaine's pulling
through. The arrogance that is being
displayed by some Of the low down
Democrats who haven't earned an hon.
est dollar for years and whose families
have almost subsisted on the charity Of
their Republican friends, is CALLING. l

the Carson Democracy, and they, un-
fortunately. are in the majority. To

elected, owes his success TO them.

will, for the suspense has SO far been
most trying one. Even the children
have become inoculated with the excite

not make a particle Of a stir among Re-

A Mint man tells me that the almost
positive announcement of Cleveland's
election has, contrary to the expectation
Of the local Democracy, not created the
slightest bit Of CONSERVATION among
either the official or operatives OF that
concern, so far as they are individually
concerned. They certainly all regret
the defeat of the Republican party, but
there are few if any in the Carson Mint
who can not fare better in other voca.
tons. And appreciating' that fact there
is not much lamentaton over the ulti-
mate loss Of place. The change Of ad-
ministration will entail the severing of
many warm ties Of friendship here, but
that's an every day occurrence, and
what boots it after all ...

is no wonder that the thrifty housewife
begins early to get her spare rooms in
