The sublime check of the Nevada
Senate Committee, who called the
Carson Silver Convention, which
meets to-day, IN assuming the power
to name the delegates To that conven-
vention, met with fitting rebuke
from the people of Eureka. The cili-
zens III that place met in mass meet
ing aud named 81 OF her most promi-

giving the Senate Committee to un-
der>tand worry plainly that they were
exceeding the powers conferred on
them by the people, and that snch
unwarranted meddling With the peo-
Piles reserved rights could not be
tolerated.

The Monitor Suggests a Primary
Election.

As the Office of Clerk Of Court. now
vacant through the death OF Gen.
Nicholson, is an elective office and
has yet to run nearly the full term Of
four years, if appointment by the
Governor is not already made, would
it not be we'll to give the people a
voice in the selection Of a candidate
and nominate by primary election !?
There is no Cause for haste in the mat
ter, az the duties OF the Office during
The vacancy, devolve on the Judge OF
Probate, whose name is q guarantee
that the interests of the Office and The
people will suffer no detriment while
under his charge. We throw out the
suggestion, and if not too late we
hope the Governor will take the mat.
ter into consideration. And, really,
it ought not to De made the duty oil
the Governor to fill an office that is
elective, by appointment, where the
term to be filled exceeds period Of
one year. The right to choose the
officer should revert to the people,
where it properly belongs. In the
absence Of this right the next best
way is to nominate by primary

Our Coming Municipal Election.

election so be held in our(municipality
on Monday the 18th for an 1ntendant
and four Wardens. Thus FAR we have
heard no whisper of q ticket OF tick
cts, and we areinclined to think there
will be but one. The contrast be
tween this period and this matter and
the same period and matter last year,
is very wonderful. A year ago party
spirit ran to its highest pitch. Now
not syllable is heard in regard to
prohibition, not a syllable in regard
to whiskey. And the meaning of this
silence can only be that a great ma.
jority have become convinced that
human nature cannot be controlled
by statutes or ordinances, and that
the undoubted and infinite evils OF
whiskey drinking are not obliterated
or materially lessened by our attempts
at prohibition.
This time let US all centre upon one
and the same set Of good men as our
Intendant and Wardens. And in
Gods name let not our good men re
fuse to serve. And when elected, let
these good men conscientiously make
the very best of any and all evils
that NAV exist in our midst.

Our Railroad-Tax Petitions.

These petitions are being actively
circulated in the Townships interest
ed, by friends Of the Railroad and,
SO far as We are able to learn, they
are being signed with considerable
unanimity. We know this to be the
case in Pickens and Wise; and as for
Trenton, she is a brave and wise unit
in support of the great enterprise.
From Moss, Blocker and Hibler we
have no very explicit information on
the point in question, but we hope
and believe the requisite maiorities
will be secured And -we-hope.~also
that none Of our people may be dis
couraged by the present inimical atti-
tude Of Abbeville, whom, month
ago, we regarded as the great leader
in this enterprise. Or perhaps we
might more safely say the inimical
attitude Of two of the Abbeyille pa
pers, the Press and Banner and the
Measasn,-able and conscientious Jour-
nails, and honest beyoli doubt in
their convictions. The third Able.
vile paper, the Messenger, equally
able, honest and conscientious, is out

in an important degree, by an Edge

we are inclined to think, is that Alb
