The Enterprise of Wednesday says.
The Republican Convention at Whine.
mucca made its selection last night, and
placed ticket before the people which
will be disheartening to the Democrats.
The abundance Of excellent material from
which to chose was Q proof Of the esti.
mate placed on the soughtfor nomina.
tion, and the convention honored its party
and justified the confidence reposed in
the delegate by the selection that were
made. A glance at the list Of delegates
and alternates TO the National Convention

III which Nevada, numerically q small
state, will have men there who will
| give the Eastern people reason to believe
that our people are as large as our terri.
tory. We, with one Of the smallest del.
egations, will be felt as a great and influ.
ential State through the vim, brains and
earnestness OF the men who 90 to serve
our will. Regard will be paid to our
wishes and our necessities. Our delega-
tes are OF the stuff which commands at.
tention, enlists sympathy and accom-.
plishes its purpose. They are the men
OF Nevada who have always surmounted
difficulties, who remove obstacles instead
OF turning back discouraged; who, to use
the convenient vernacular OF the sage
brush, get there when they start, +" and |
they will be recognized as able men in |
the concourse Of the great men Of the |
nation who will assemble on the 10Th Of |
June.
For Supreme Judge, the convention,
from q number Of candidates, all thor.
ough lawyers and qualified in every re.
spect, selected M. A. Murphy, of Esmer-
aida county. as a candidate, and its wis.
dom will be shown by the majority he
will have. Judge Murphy is the ideal Of
the American self made men. From q
workinRman he has risen by his own un.
aided efforts to the high position he now
holds. He has risen where many men |
under more advantageous circumstances |
would have permitted faint heart to |
disuade them from the struggle, and in
all the progress which his indefatigable |
energy and indomitable courage mas en-.
abled him 10 make, he has even main |
tanned an indexible integrity which, even
in the heat Of party or legal contests,
has won for him the respect Of his oppo.
nents.
Our future Representative, II. +. Bar.
tine, is also a marked type Of our
American institutions. Beginning life
poor boy, the best of his early years
were spent in the Army Of the Potomac.
In the blaze and din OF the Wilderness
and Spottsylvania he faced the cannon
and musketry Of Lees army and shed
blood, while yet boy, that the grand
country which he loved might be saved
from dismembership. Coming to Ne
vada at the close of the great struggle,
he educated himself from the earnings
Of daily labor, and the brave and earn.
est solder became the student. deter
mined to master for himself a position
in the world of men Of genius. Through
years Of scanty means and poor oppor.
tunities he pursued steadfastly the path
marked out for him in his youth, and as
time moved on, came to be recognized as
q profound lawyer, thoroughly equipped |
with the knowledge Of his profession;
true to friend, honorable to opponent
and wholly sincere and trustworthy. A |
fluent, brilliant talker, he will make a
canvass for his party which will not be a
mere solicitation for support, but will be
a tower Of instruction to the people who
will be fortunate enough to hear him
speak.
