here through the columns OF the bull
LgTIN last Saturday evening, there I
were cursings loud and deep. The
resolution relating to county DIVISION
has caused wound which neither
creenbacks nor honeyed words can
heal. 1t will be we'll for the Repub-
licans ii they have not committed
! similar blunde.. 1t is strange that the
4 Democrats could not see the effect 1t
will have upon the Delegate vote as
we'll as the county ticket, provided the
Republicans have simply held their
peace. What must we think OF the
intellise nce OF mass OF men who
meet in conve ntion-prate OF the
county debt which their business in
capacity, or worse, has made, and talk
OF the injustice that would be to bond
holders by county division, when all
persons of intelligence know that IN
such an event the new county would
be assigned its share OF the indebted
ness. We could have hoped that no
such display OF imbecility would have
been made, both for the honor OF the
J., county and the responsibility OF the
party. What they have done has
passed into political history and the
consequences are not to be evaded
t Your correspondent, like hundreds OF
others, will wait bit until he ascer-
; tains what the Republicans have done.
e The bitterest men ON this county d.
: vision business are not from Noun
tain Home or here, but from the stock
men on the POS ranches of Western
Alturas. We, however, group IN the
dark. If the Republican conventions
proceedings do not suit us we can get
: up an independent ticket. As to this,
there are letters from Era, Bellevue,
: Shoshone and other points received in
this place, and we will make short,
i sharp and decisive campaign with the
/, HALEY boys.
