replete with good. sound. common-sense
views on this all-importans question to the
world at large, and to the people Of Ne
vada in particular, and which is OF equal
importance to his constituency, giving
evidence OF a high order OF statesmanship
and honesty OF purpose in our honored
representatives. Mr.. Cassidy has GER
tainly earned for himself an enviable
reputation as an honest, energetic,
faithful advocate Of the interests OF
Nevada, whose high trust and conf
dence he has held most sacred, and in
whose success the people of Nevada
can point with a just pride in REPUTATION to
the charge so often laid at Nevada's door,
that none but millionaires, and all mil
lionaires, can be elected to Congress or the
United States Senate. In justice e him,
and in justice to ourselves, let US hope
that, when the opportunity offers, the PEG.

was crowned with the success which some
OF the free spirits at the mines evidently

Pretty soon a little girl came along with q

Points About PATENTS.

The belief of some persons that sugar in
paying quantities can be got from corn
stalks as well as from sorghum, recalls the
fact that the State Of Connecticut gave to
Edward Human a patent for making
molasses from corn stalks in October, Itlt,
or nearly 1877 years ago. Senator piatt,
introduced this statement into q recent
speech, cited some other curious old Con-
necticut patents, showing that the spirit
Of invention was rife there at an early
date. There we're no devices in the list
for manufacturing wooden nutmegs, but IN
1888 a patent was given to Benjamin HANKS

ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
Prominent California Democrats
Interviewed.
STOCKTON, CAL, June 12.-An Associated
Press representative interviewed this
morning the choice of the more prominent
Democrats at the Democratic State Con-
vention in respect to the effect Mr. Til
den's letter of ~declination would have on
the party in the State.
G. P. Berry said the Democracy was dis
appointed. but not discouraged. The
country is ripe for a change. We can win
the fight with Bayard, Thurman or Cleye-
land. Senator Dennis Spencer said the
Democrats are slightly discouraged, but
Allen G.. Thurman can lead the party TO
victory. The popular sentiment was strong
enough to nominate and elect him. SEN
ator Delvalle thinks the party will nom
mate Tilden unanimously, notwithstand-
ing bis letter. II he will not run Thurman
will win for US.
NJ. F. Tarpey said the party has sought
to nominate Tilden to justify the great
fraud. Thurman, however, will lead us to
victory.
Gen. Clunie said the sentiment had
crystalized for Tilden, but Thurman and
SLOVENIAN would be a strong and good
ticket.
Gen. Tom Williams said we can win with
Thurman, although Tilden was our first
choice.
Senator Reddy believed in nominating
Tilden, and giving him q chance to de-
cline. Thurman, he said, will lead rs to
victory, as he represents the popular senti-
ment on this Coast.
W. d. English said after the action OF
the convention yesterday we can win with
Thurman as we'll as Tilden, but I regret
his ~declination. The people want to right
the wrong Of '76.
W. W. Foote said the anti Chinese and
anti Monopoly record Of Thurman will
enthuse the people of this Coast. 1 think
he can win as well as Tilden.
Senator Fletcher of Placer said: Think
Tilden's d~eclination will not make much
difference in the long run. OF course he
is u choice, but Thurman is equally
strong with the people. Bayard can win.
@. r. Greenhouse said: l have read the
letter. 1t does not discourage the party, as
we can win with a number of others, in
Guiding Thurman, Bayard or Hancock.
Stephen M. White said he anticipated
Tilden's d~eclination, and so did the party.
Thurman is a stronger man than Tilden
on this Coast, and as strong anywhere else.
