CARSON LETTER.
CARSON, July 9th, 1884.

Indisposition that has kept me from
gossipy main street of Carson for several
days somewhat circumscribed my op.
portunities for observation and listening.
This though l can tell you in all truth:
l never saw community Of Democrats
so enthusiastically indifferent-as
to the result of the Chicago Convention
of the Hungry Unbathed as the Carson
Democrats are. You take Colonel A. C.
Ellis who has made disastrous sacrifices
for the Nevada Democracy; he has
hardly said word-political-since the
National Convention of his party has
convened. I merely mention him be-
cause l am told he is one Of the most
incorporating and intelligent men. Of
his party in this State. During the ses.
sion of the National Republican Con-
yention the telegraph Office in this town
was crowded from earlyto late. Now
there is not one Democrat in a hundred
appearing to take sufficient interest to
visit the telegraph office to ascertain
what his Convention is about. The fact
OF the matter is that the Democrats
know-politically bigotted as they are
that the man does not abide in the
Union to-day who can beat James G.
Blaine in November next. That is the
cause of their show Of indifference, and
don't you forget it.
Carson, the inhabitants OF which act
as if they individually owned the Mint,
has settled down to It's periodical con.
dition Of quietude. AS predicted in
late letter, W. A. Stevens has been
appointed to the vacant Melter and Re.
hnership Of that concern. This matter
now being disposed Of the disappointed
aspirants, many Of whom are constitu.
tional "Kickers," are advised TO hold
their temper and not allow the lions
skin to drop from their asses heads.
MIR. Stevens deputy is to be a relation
Of the Websterian Senator Parker, of
this county. can't remember his
name just at this moment, but am told
he is man worthy of the place. He
was captain in the army, they say,
bur does not fight the war over every
day as some others do TO whom I'll pay
my respects before long.
hear it said that Senator Jones will
pass through Carson for his home at
Gold Hill on Saturday morning. And
also that he will use his voice and
splendid argumentive ability to give
Blaine and Logan a powerful majority
in Nevada. Apropos. should like to
see the Senator warmly welcomed home
at the vzlious railroad stations in Neva.

pie and brass band upon his arrival

carried into effect.
They say that Judge Thomas P. Haw-
ley has already begun to work with all
his might to partly assure himself of a
nomination in August. The Judge,
with all his suavity and political ex.
perience falls devilish short from being
what is called a popular man. Were
Judge Rising's aspirations directed that
way Hawley would not stand a ghost
of show. But Rising will, under no
condition, stand in, and the question
presents itself as to whom the RePub.
licans have stronger for the Supreme
Judgeship than Hawley. The fact
must not be lost sight of that Judge
VIM. NJ. Seawell, the Democratic nom.
inee, is not only a good but a popular
man, and as no Democrat must be
elected to an Office this Fall, the Au-
gust State Convention should look we'll
before it leaps. REPUBLICAN.
