Nevada County picayune., 1886-08-11
A Short Review.

of August 4th.
 He first gives us the Hazard circular which we think he might now retire 10 the patent side, for it has been in his paper ever since it was resurrected and it has no more to do with Nevada county politics, than an advertisement of McLains vermifuge. Then he gives Us an extract of Judge Caldwell,s address about the cruelty of the Roman creditor; like the people of Nevada county care anything about the Roman law, and if they did they would like to know that thls law was incorporated in the twelve tables of Rome about 3oO B. c. and the empire flOurished for 700 years afterwards. All greenback orators assert on every stump that all the wars Ot the RO- mans. the downfall of the empire and the dark ages were caused by contraction of the currency. Yet there is not schOol-boy in Ncva- da county who is in the third reade r butw!lat knows that the contraction of the currency had no more to do with the downfall of the Roman empire. than the 4th of July has with the Niagara falls. But that it Was caused by the incursiOns of the northern hords of barOarans who ovcrran and conquered the sOun- try.
 Ills next piece in the same col umn ia as follows:
 Once more the Democracy have shown how they stand. Morri' sons resolution 10 pay out the sur. plus in the Treasury was amended in the Senate, so as to constitute Cleveland financial dictator, and l 10 bestow millions on the bankers by redecmin. the trade dollars at face value. It was then passed.
 Now Mir. Editor common dc cen cy and n small regard for truth would have prompted bim to have told the people that in tl c House, which has d democratic ma. Ority !, the Morrison resolution passed by a l large majority-tlIat those amend m-nts were lacked on in the Sen ate, which has Republican major. ity. The people should be warn- ed against such infamous misrep- rrsentatiOns, not to say lies.
 The next two columns devotcs to an extract from Senator Browns speech, and to comments on the same. He does not tell the peo- pie tha: Senator Brown is a demo- cratic senator from Georgia, and worth at least frc million doiidrs and worst of all a lawyer. The Dispatch, such fine antiquarian, we look for it to discover the start ling fact that SodOm and Common rah were distroycd by the conspir. atOrs and a contraction of the "mOnry volume.'
 His fourth column he dcvotes to that sweet scented American citi- zen called r. M. Thompson, the any thing .fOr-oflicc candidate, for State Senator. My mind advcrts to those halcyOn days of yorc (re- construction, which the G. B.., say were the best timese eyer known on earth, for description of that patriotic gentleman. To see that sad eyed son of radculism stand with blInched face, and streaming eyes over his neighbours cows and hogs which Cotterson was appro. priating for his militia. weeping lest the government should fail for want of supplies, and Cottcr. sons noble band of p,triots to cut off before they could accomplish that patriotic work of recon,truc. ton, must be enough to make the Dispatch weep tears of sorrow lest he should fail to obtain the office us 9 slight token of .ratitucd for his patriotic services. think MT editor the debt of gratitude which the people of this county own that man can be easily paid.
 His fifth columc is an extract from Mr. Mills speech. He don't say that Mir. Mill's is a Democrat, and that the distress hc depicted was caused by the Republicans long before the Democrats had a maj ority in either house of Con- gress. He closes the column with few of his old rehashed lies
