An OUTSIDE VIEW.
The oakland Times says:

The OAKLAND Times says:
Over in Nevada the Republicans
are divided on the question Of send
ing John W. Mackay - . delegate
to the Chicago Republican Conven-
ton. A campaign in Nevada with
out Maekay would be . political
rendering of Hamlet with the
young Dane out Of the cast. One
good draw at the Mackay wallet
we're worth miles Of torchlight pro-
cessions. acres Of trsnsparencies.
tens of powder, and ''hurrahs" and
'etigers" loud enough to arouse the
sleepers before the original flood.
Nevada cannot be carried on brass
band campaign alene for Blaine or
any other Republican hence the me-
eessity ofhaving Maekay personally
interested in the coming campaign.
This is about the size of it. Mr..
Mackay's friends state that he has
already signifed his determination
to take q personal interest
in the State campaign. He
has been charged with hav-
ing helped carry Nevada for the
Democratic party four years ago.
This is untrue. He simply re-
NAMED out of the fight because his
business partner was interested in
it. He allowed friendship and bust
ness interests to come between him
and the party. He simply took the
position Of q non-combata MT and
vet it raised much more of an out
cry than we hear raised against men
who howl their Republican princi-
pies on the streets and secretly are
cheek by jowl with Democrats.
Mr.. Mackay will take an active
hand in the Fall campaign both
State and National, and the only
persons who are opposing him. are
few misinfcrmed people who i'm
agine that . campaign can be run
without the substantial sinews Of
war, and every child knows bet
ter.

There is no question but that the
delegates to the convention at Vir-
ginia City tomorrow are largely
in favor of Blaine for the Presiden-
tial nominee Ifthey did not declare
for Blaine it would not represent
the wishes of the voters who elected
them. It is charged that John
Mackay's friends viii attempt to
bull-doze the Convention into send
ing on unpledged delegates to Chi
cago who will turn their backs on
Blaine. This programme exists
only in the minds of a few
alarmists who see polit-
ical scarecrow in rything.
All the friends of Mackay. have
ever asked is that the minority per-
ton OF the voters be allowed one
delegate, and that Mr.. Mackay be
that delegate. The best thing the
Convention can do is to send five
Blaine delegates to Chicago, and
one unpledged. This is fair ap-
pointment and will bring about
harmonious relations between the
two factions. This is the only true
course, and We believe that the
Convention will realize that every
attempt to enforce the unit rule
will be both impolitie and danger

A Cattle Thief.

A dispatch from Monroe to the
Evening Wisconsin, of Milwaukee
says that last Friday night some
unknown thief went to Dwight
Pof's drove of cattle, picked out
the sixteen best steers in the lot,
took them down 10 the station on
Saturday morning, and got d. G.
Nance, dealer there, to ship them
to Chicago with a lot he was send
ing off, with an order to pay the
stranger for the sixteen in question.
The latter got pass on the strength
of his shipment, and went along,
getting his money at Chicago. Last
night Poff looked at his cattle,
missed the steers, and after finding
out the circumstances, telegraphed
to Chicago, and went Oh by the
next train. The result is not known,
but presumably the dealer, Nance,
is out to the value of the cattle.

Ayers SarSaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsArARILLA in many similar
eases, and hc has never yet heard Of its fail
urc to effect n radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborcrs bruised his leg. Owing 10 the bad
state of his blood, m ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared ON the Injured limb. llor-
rbln itching of the skin, with burning and
dauing pains through the lump, made life
almost intolcrablc Tho leg became cuor-
mously enlarged, aud running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities Of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until tho man, by Mr. LELAND's dircc-
tnn was supplied with AYERS SARSArA-
ErILN, which allayel the pain and irritation,
healed tho sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
MIR. LELAND has personally used
