WE HAD A KICK COMING.

We have been sloshing about pretty
lively in q political way In the SENTINEL
since the election. Perhaps We have said
some things that IL would have boen as
well TO have left unsaid. We are certain
that we have succeeded in ~engendering
some antagonisms among the local read
ers OF the SENTINEL. This ought not to
be so. We have no feeling of hostility
for any home man under the sun. We
always feel kindly toward all Of our neigh
bors. circumstance alter cases very
materially. 4 loser is never half so
amiable as q wiz 7er. The winners can
always afford to be magnsnimous. We
struggled against all sorts of adverse
conditions in the late campaign. Every
thing went wrong from the start. Fair

too late TO make a canvass. Then the
manner In which he went out left half
the people OF the State in the belief that
he was not out at all. Tho Democracy
had to pack him without his coin. This
gave US the worst of IL both ways. Then
when we same forward, with honest pur-
pose. Offering TO join hands with Mr.
Wren. or any resident Republican, to de-
feat Stewart, we were never once met with
q similar. generous offer. Not one OF
them would agree to stand with the writer
or any other Democrat. The whole stu
alton was irritasingly one.sided. They
were willing to accept Democratic help,
but had nothing to offer in return.
We have never INDUCED in personalities
in any campaign in Nevada. We did not
in the late campaign until goaded to do
so. We have never believed 10 that kind
OF political warfare. We srraigned Mr..
Stewart on his non-residenco. and once,
and only once, made q humorous allusion
TO him as "ths author OF the Emma mine
and other works OF fiction" Mr.. Stewart
lost his head and assaulted US with bitter
personalities. We gave it back 10 him
thick and fast in one or two instances.
We feel that we kept even, aud have no
complaints to offer. II he got any the

were smsrting for sometime. and led out
in all directions. We felt that We had
a kick coming and we have exercised it.

This is a free country, and we accord to
every man tho same rights We claim
for ourselves namely, to support and
vote for whom he pleases. That is the
American doctrine and idea. We may all
indulge in animated discussions and
spirited rivalry for our respective sides.
but we should avoid making scars. Now
that the campaign Is past and gone, we
desire In q general way to make the
amende honorable to all whom we may
have in the least rufied during the con-
test. We forgive and are willing to be for
