Mr.. ralbo..s card.

Mr.. g. F. Talbot. in the Elko Free
Press Of this morning, publishes n card
beginning as follows: "The organ Of
the opposition having apparently taken
Inc to task for not accepting compromise
overtures ON the question Of the primary
election to be held to-day" etc. The
''organ of the opposition" alluded TO is
the ISDEPENDESr, because in its issue Of
yesterday it published, simply as a mat
ter Of news. that over.urrs were made.
which SIR. Talbot in his card admits
TO lie true. The INDEPENDENT Is pub
lished M "A newspaper" and u such,
proposes to give to its readers all items of
interest j: can secure OF a nature proper
to be made public. II the INDEPENDENT
best Judges As to whether its u~tterances
have been impartially Democratic or not.
But while the INDEPENDENT neither has,
nor will take any part in local lsepubli-
can contests, its proprietor, like every
free-born American citizen, with "A liberal
supply of warm blood in his veins. has
both friends and enemies in all parties,
and Notwithstanding his political predi-
lections he claims the right, ami shall
certainly exercise it, to indulge n pre-
ference for candidates for nomination
even by n Republican convention. In
announcing Mr.. Talbot's candidacy, the
INDEPENDENT spoke of him in terms of
high commentator. and what WAS quite
as important, those u]tterances WERE sim
cerc; but while esteem WAS expressed for
this studious and pcrservering young
lawyer, it in no wise detracted from the
high regard il entertained for the chnrac-
ter and superior legal attainments of
Hon. John ii. Rand. Our acquaintance
with the latter gentleman dates from the
time OF the Organization of the county in
1869, he being then II practicing nttor-
ney and a member of the principal law
firm doing business here. He has ever
since beer nh active worker in his
party, spending time, labor and money
to advance its interests. In view of
these facts, and Notwithstanding that we
have every two years encountered him
rs n foe in the political contests, n per
sonal friendship for him has never been
in the slightest dcgree impaired, aud de-
spising all hypocrisy, We chrerfully nc
knowledge that, preicrring old and tried
friends to the new and uutricd. our sym
pathies and best wishes for success are
with him.
That the INpErENDENr. however. has
taken any part in any Republican con-
test, rs implied by the opening language
Of Mr.. TalbOt's card, is false, and We
challenge contradiction by the support
ing testimony Of its columns.

STATE UNIVERSITY.

The journalistic inaucicrs who are
now trying 20 figure the States expenses
TO II minimum rate, should not forget to
abolish the State University.-Carson
Tribune.
Our contemporary should read up n
little about that anniversary before it
makes any suggestions about abolishing
il. The public lands given to the State of
Nevada by the United States. are donated
with the express provision that their
proceeds shall be used to support a State
University. and to abolish the school
means to lose the lands, and mt the same
time to break fnith with the General
Goyernment-neithcr of which We can
afford to do.-Reese River Reyeille.
The only objection to the continued
existence o! the State University is the
fact that it is located in the Eastern part
Of the State. Had the institution Eccn
established at Carson or Reno, the ques-
lion Of rctrenchmcnt, SO far rs the Uni
vcrsity is concerned, would never have
entered into the calculations of the re-
form Journals Of those camps. The
University was put up to the highest
bidder and WAS knocked down to Elko
county, and shs having put up sone
$4,000 received the award. Elko bought
the privilege and paid for it, over all
competitors, and will continue to retain
it until such time MS the State may choose
to reimburse her for the outlay made, in
accordance with the contract.

MINOR IMPORTANCE"

From the New York Herald Sept. l7th.)
The Tribune shrinks from publishing
all the Fisher-Biain Letters. Driven
from its policy OF silence, it is forced
into making IA partial publication. but it
mutilates the record. ''Three letters Of
minor importance follow. relating to the
possibility of establishing n National
Bank nj Little Rock, n proposition that
Ices not seem to have been seriously ell
tertained, and certainly was never acted
upon" This is the airy disposition the
Tribune makes of one of the most imam
Gus propositions OF all made by Blaine
to his financial fri nds to curry favor
with them aud to get money out OF them.
The Speaker of the House writes TO
"My Dear Mr.. Fisher" informing him
that at the mex session of Congress
there will be n currency expansion of
fifty to seventy-nye millions in the form
of an addition to the National Bank cir
culation. and Offering to "cast an anchor
to wiudward" in b,half Of Fisher aud
his friends for q bank at Little Rock.
The Speaker reminds his financial
friends that it is to some extent, II mat
ter of iavoritisin who gets the banks,
and hc sets forth with u relish the profit
able character OF such institutions.
subsequently the Speaker writes TO
Dear Fisher and Caldwell that Boutwell,
will give them their $500, 900 bank, but
the Secretary Of War is not willing to let
them have the use of the United States
Arsenal at Little Rock for their banking.
house. He Ind tried to engineer that
little job for them into the bargain, but
Ind failed.
Finally the Speaker writes to his Dear
Mr.. Fisher and TO Caldwell. advising
them what bonds to buy, aud adding:
IN might be better now to let Senator
Rice take the lead" The foxy Speaker
wanted to remain in the background.
These propositions are marked by the
"most scrupulous integrity and honor s.
according to Blaiue's idea. Yet the Fri
bunc suppresscs them.
Perhaps the Tribune thinks some
"Pharisee" and dependents" mn ask
what the Speaker OF the House expected
TO make by the anchor lie cas-, to wind
ward 10 obtain n National Bank for his
railroad friends.
