TO ORGANIZE CAR PAINTERS.


TO Get Them Into the X. of L..
1t is stated that an effort is being made by
Joseph L. Evans, organizer of d. A. No. 8,
Knights of Labor, to organize the car painters
and others connected with that work into a
local assembly of the Knights. The effort Is
meeting with some opposition from the
Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators, who
claim that these men are eligible to member
ship IN their organization.
This is the other new local assembly spoken
of several days ago. The matter is being kept
quiet until the organization is completed, on
account of the antipathy of certain painters.

Have n Patent Stolker.

HIVE u StOKtFs
William McCreery, late President of the
Pleasant Valley Street Car Company, appeared
before the meeting of the Gas Committee of

in the power department similar to other sue
cessful appliances of the kind in use, particu-
larly that in the power house of the Pleasant
Valley Electric Railway, which, he said, did its
work IN such manner that il was in every way
as clean and smokeless as natural gas, and at
least % per cent lower in cost.
Mr.. McCreery'S statement met with general
approval, and the committee decided to give
the scheme trial, and TO that end would ad-

County Official Paper
CASSIDY WILL NOT CONTEST,

Hon. Geo. w. Cassidy writes to the
Virginia Chronicle that no cannot for
a moment entertain the idea of con-
testing the election of Mr.. Rartine to
a seat in Congress. The Chronicle
publishes the greater part Of the let-
ter from which We reproduce the fol-,
lowing extract:
'Ths Republican press and stump
orators are accustomed to inveigh
against an impure ballot in the South,
while the simple truth is, that there is
not Southern State of them all that
can approach Nevada in debauohing
the ballot and thwarting the will of
the people. But Let us be exactly fair
about it. Both political parties buy
votes in Nevada The Republicans
buy them at wholesale and the Demo
Gratis at retail. About all OF the pow
erful corporations in this State find it
to their interest to act with the Re-
publican party and in doing 80 they
are required to furnish the necessary
corruption fund. The Democratic
party standing for the people and
against corporate aggression must
rely solely upon individual contribu-
tons to cover campaign expenses In
q limited way and as q means Of pro-
lection, local Democratic candidates
sometimes form pools and enter the
field as huyersot votes - competition
With their more opulent opponents.
To this extent Democrats are guilty,
and to this extent Democrats are
estopped from making as strong case
az they deserve to- make, at the bar of
public opinion You understand that
it is filthy business all around. As
we have not much else in Nevada, We
ought to have decent methods in our
politics. The best hope seems to be
in tho adoption of the Australian bal
lot system, which, dare we expect, our
incoming Republican Legislature to
give us2 I confess to you that I have
little faith in so, desirable a consum-
