Louis Rehnke, Esq, Of Beresford,
was in town on Saturday last look
ing very much as though he had
been fed through a threshing ma
chine. Louis explained his APP
pearance in this way: One day last
week he met John Reedy at the
elevatorin Baresiord. Behnke is road
supery isor of the district and desired
Rcedy to work out his road tax as
hc should direct. Bad blood existed
between them since election as
Bchnke did not support Reedy for
treasurer Reedy insisted Oh working
where he saw fit, and the result was
words brought on blows and in the
squabble that followed Reedy bit
off the end of one of Behnke's fingers
also bit good sized mouth(ul out
of one cheek. 1t is said Behnke has
reinforced himself somewhat, he be-
ing the smaller man and it is not
impossible that we may be able to
furnish a newsy item from that Sec
ton ere many moons.

1t gives US pleasure to announce
that by special arrangement with
the publishers of The Inter Ocean, we
are able TO offer the COURIER aud
the Weekly hitter Ocean at the low
price of 1926 per year for both
papers. 1t is perhaps needless for
us to say to our readers that the
Iter Ocean is republican paper of
the first order. for it is known as
such all over the country. 1t is al
so known its a fair and honest paper
to all parties. 1t is broad and ma
tional in its views. As newspaper
it is unexcelled. Each issue has the
news Of the world condensed. Its
literary character is high, and as a
family newspaper it has repnta-
ton second to no metropolitan jour-
nal III the nation. Specimen copies
can be seen al this office.

G. A. R. RESOLUTIONS.

At a called meeting of Stephen A..
Hurlbut Post No. 8, G. A, r. of this
city, the following preamble and
resolutions on the death of Gen.
John A. Logan and Gen. Thos. S.
Free, were unanimously adopted:
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1886-11-20

Col. F. c. LORD, of Virginia City, is
candidate for the Wardenship of the State
Prison. So is r. A. Cooke, of this place,
and E. L. Buckingham. AS Lyon county
has done SO we'll by Republicans this year,
and as "Buck" is one of the old war horses
who helped to accomplish the defeat of the
Democracy, his claim should be well-con-
sidered. "Buck" has helped to fight many
hard -won Republican battle in this State
and our Republican Legislators could do no
better than to give him the position, for he
is well.qualiied to fill it.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1886-11-20

For pure, unadulterated gall the Sena
tor from this county takes the prize. Not
even Powning excepted. In the last issue of
Mr.. Westerfeld's Leeeh, the statement is
made that the TINES came near wrecking
the Republican party Of this county on the
rock of defeat, or something to that effect.
1t does look considerably like it, certainly,
but our plumbers were really excusable un-
der the circumstances. The main blunder
committed, probably was the assistance lent
to nominate man for Assessor who would
win. This blunder was followed by helping
to secure for the nominee a majority Of T. in
Dayton precinct, where Mr. Westerheld and
his friend claimed that John G. Young would
receive a majority Of 50 or 90. Outside of
this there were other blunders, among which
was the nomination and election of B. /.
thurman for Recorder, afterit was claimed by
the Democrats that after November I'd, Mr..
thurman would have to take to the woods, be-
cause their nominee would be SO far ahead.
Well, he took to the woods-in fact took
them with him. There were lots of blunders,
no doubt, but if Mr.. Wester6eld knew they
were going to be made, and thought they
would be such drawback to the Repubh-
can party, why was he SO anxious to shut the
TINES up before the campaign?
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1886-11-20
NO EVIDENCE.

The Leeeh admits that it can gather no
evidence that money was used in this county
to secure the election OF the Republican
ticket. But it gives whole lot of quota
tons from papers in and out of the State
which make the same statement that Wester-'
field does-that money was used-and calls
this circumstantial evidence. 1t may be. It
also refers to the arrest of DR.. Lee, of Car.
son, on the charge of buying votes. DR..
Lee had his trial this week and there was not
one single witness that came on the stand,
but who, in giving evidence, proved that the
Dr's arrest was regular farce. He was ac-
emitted So much for that charge. The
Reno case is probably similar one and will
end the same way. The readers Of the Leeeh,
what few there are left, are then called upon
to 90 to Sutro and converse with some Re-
publican there, who it says, the sack
bearer Of this county would not recognize.
The TINES makes the statement that there
was no sack bearer in the county in this
campaign, and that not dollar Of Stewart
money or railroad money was used here. If
Mr.. Westerheld knows so much about how
this buying of votes at wholesale was car
RED on, why does he not inform his readers
who this sack-be was, who the Sutro
gentleman is that failed to get his finger
in the pie, and tell the people all about it
generally. He knows there was no man
handling money corruptly here, but to be in
fashion, and follow the example of the Vir-
ginia Chronicle, the Carson Union, and sew
eral other mud singing machines, he raises
the cry that the Republicans in this county
won by the free use of coin. The best way
to do, when you have no proof to back your
assertions, Mr. Westerheld, is to keep still.
Unless you can give US something stronger
than mere assertions, your talk won't go
down.

THE waste Of breath about this State
going 1900 Republican majority if Stewart
had not been candidate for the U. S. SEN
ate, is astonishing. Had it not been for has
able management, such men as Powning,
Wren and .paggett would have had things so
hopelessly mixed up that few, if any Repub-
can State officers would have been elected,
and United States Senator, never.

THE biggest blunder made by the TIMES
in the campaign, probably, was that it help
ed to elect straight Republican ticket in
this county At least, this is where Wester-
field thinks the blunder was.
