JOHN MACKAY FOR CHICAGO

While the nominations for dele
gates to the Chicago Convention
are in order, the name of Virginia
City man suggests itself. John
Mackay was suggested four years
ago as a delegate, and he said that
he would feel honored with such q
commission from the citizens of
Nevada, but he was a Grant man,
first, last and always, and would
accept the nomination under no
other circumstance. If unpledged.
that would be his choice, and if
pledged to anybody else he would
not go at all. Nevada was almost
unanimous for Blaine, and for this
reason Mr.. Mackay did not go.
With Grant out of the fight we do
not believe that he has any indi-
vidual preference and would vote
as instructed. Beside, his identifi-
cation with large business interests
throughout the United States
would give Nevada a prestige in
the convention.

A Congressional Committee has
investigated the Daville negro riots.
They had the testimony of q num-
Der of whites who participated, and
nice testimony it is. One witness
happened to see the row; he did
not know what it was about, but
he drew his pistol, and, without
making inquiries. fired four shcts
into the crowd Of negros. Another
white witness saw the crowd, hur-
ried and brought a pistol, and did
a little firing also. All agree the
the result was to keep the colored
men from the polls.

Cenklipg's remark at st, Leuia
that the Republican party had cut
of the heaas Of it, leaders, and ID
new . headless army, has vibrated
through thsrank and lile and struck
the NEST casual observer - clear
diagonis Of the case. Leadership
il IN essential element of success.
Half dozen boys gather in . play
ground and the ono who watches
the play Ave minutes can tell who
il tho leader. No project however
small succeeds unless some one
man handles the plan Of operation.
In al the walks Of life men rise up
head and shoulders above their fell
lows and assume command. When
. political organization is running
smoothly along and winning its
fights under a certain set Of leaders
it would seem that to let well
enough alone would be about the
visest course. Success, however,
engenders envy and there is always
. class of sterile-minded, small fry
men. who are ambitious to take con-
troll and in order to do so form
combinations to kill off the "bosses"
Having accomplished this-and
traitors and sneaks can as q rule
accomplish it-they worm them
selves to the front and turn the
once compact, successful and Or
ganized army into q scattered, heller
skeltering rabble. Take California
for instance, the Republicans de-
capitated Sargant, Carr, Gorham
and La Grange, and haven't won
trick since. Where will the State
of New York be next fall, unless
the blast of war comes from the
uglehorn Of Conkling. The lower
house of Congress has gone by the
board and the disgrace of this lies
at the door of the half-breeds.
With cranks upon the Pacific Coast;
mongrels in the Middle States, and
feather-heads on the Atlantic sea-
board, the outlook is decidedly
foggy. There is but one hope; call
the old leaders back to the command
all along the line, and give the mass
of voters the same assurance and
confidence they had before. The
cold tea element that driveled down
from the Hayes regime, the inflated
time serving, policy-calibred inbe-
Giles and half breeds, who have had
their strut and trial, must by this
time fully realize how utterly i'm
potent they are to lead or govern,
and if We mistake not are quite
ready to resign command. They
are now in the position of San
dude trying to drive q six
finland down the Glenbrook Grade,
ready to relinquish his hold upon
the reins in favor of the regular
driver, because his arms ache and
the tender flesh of his hands il Civ
ing out.

Facts for the People.

a Washington special says that the
h0ndsmen Of Burnside, who stole over
$4,000 year while Discussing Agent Of
the Post ONCE Department, rely upon
escaping from responsibility as sureties,
on the ground that his accounts were not
regularly audited in three years. 1t is
claimed that they can only be held for one
OF two quarters, if at all. The Sixth
Auditors office Is VIGOROUSLY burdened
with scurvy politicians Of all cOlOrs,
some Of whom were appointed as rewards
Tor their services in the great fraud OF
1870. Many Of them are utterly incOm-
petent to perform the work expected Of
them. The accounts Of the Sixth Audi
tors Office are. therefore, in great cOnfu-
sion and in arrears.
Well. that is a very suggestive picture
81 the condition Of the affairs in one Of
the most important Offices Of a depart
ment Of the government. Burnside's
b1udsmeu certainly ought not 10 be held
responsible. They undertook TO make
good any deficiency in the accounts Of
Burnside, provided the government en-
forced its regulations with re-
spect to the examination Of ac-
counts. The government did not per-
form its part Of the contract, owing
u the iucOmpetency Of the men it en-
plovs. 1.-THE business of the Sixth Audi
tors Office had been conducted on business
principles Burnside would not have been
able TO have stolen anything Of conse-
quence. His accounts, however, had not
been examined for three years.
Cases like these give the public glimpses
every once in a while Of the way public
business Is conducted and the men who
conduct il. These glimpses ought TO be
sufficient to convince the people that
II is full time that the control Of the gov
erument was placed in other hands. There
is great need OF honesty and competency
in the public service. and they cannot be
had BY retaining the Republican party in
power. Only a day or two ago it was dis
covered that paper contractor was
cheating the Post Office Department out
Of hundreds Of thousands of dollars by
furnishing paper far below the required
standard. This cheating process had
been going on for a long time. Those
whose business it was TO see that the con-
tract was complied with had wholly neg
lected their duty. II IS certainly time for
the Republican party to 90.

He presented the dzUres 70 show how great

was. and he drew glowing pictures Of

loved a wonderful degree Of prosperity
since the war and the increase in wealth
has been marvellous. but the outlook now
isn't at ali encouraging. Blaine did not
mention the fact that the country Is full
OF tramps ard that thousands Of working
men are out Ct employment. He
was only anxious 70 prove
that a high protective tarln Is

Elaine and the NIonopoIies

That Blaine was the active friend Of
the mOn0p0Iies when a member Of Con-
yrzs- there is no doubt. In him the land
grabbing railroads found a warm friend.
When they needed assistance they
went % him. In ISIS. when the Thurman
bill 70 compel the Union Pacific and Cen
tTal Pacific railroads 10 pay the interest
on the bonds which the government had
loaned them. and u provide sink
in. fund with which 10 pay the
bonds. Blaine was member
gr the senate. About the only time that
Gould ever appeared in Washington as
lobbyist was when that bill was being
considered.
In the Senate Blaine was his active
agent. Thurman and Edmunds cham
ri5red the bin and Blaine led the forces
that were opposed 70 it. The debate was
long. and was participated in by all the
ahlest Senator'S Of both political parties.
The tits between Blaine and
Thurman. and Blaine and Edmunds,
were frequent. and often bitter. At one
tine Edmunds went 50 far as 70 insinuate
that the railroads were using money
freely % defeat the bill.
Blaine proposed an amendment TO the
bin which would have tied the hands Of
Congress for twenty years OF more, and
permitted the railroads 70 have done
pretty much as they pleased. For this
amendment he fought strongly and tena-
c-ousIy. Il was defeated, and the bill
was passed By a tw0-thirds majority.
Three times as many Democrats as Re
rublIcaus voted in the Affirmative.
It's not easy 10 understand how those
who are opposed u mOnOpolies can vote
for Blaine. He has always been with the
m0nop0lies when there was a contest be-
tween their interests and those Oft the peO-
Die. That is not remarkable, however,
because Blaine. in the beginning OF his
\ career. was determined 10 be rich. and he
was shrewd enough 10 see that the quick
est way 70 make money was 10 be in har-
monv with those who controlled the
wealth Of the country.
