Under the above head the Carson
Appeal OF the 9th instant prints nm
article not very complimentary to Re
public IN Office seekers, from which We
reproduce tho following extrncts:
ut is predicted that the passa % Of
the Australian ballot Law will compass
the defeat OF the Republican party.
Those who indulge in these p.ognos-
tications, base their ideas ON the fact
that the party is obliged to purchase
1000 votes II each election to carry
the ticket. and that with the Aus
tnlian ballot, no more purchasing
can he done, and those 1000 votes
will be cast for the Democratic tick
ct.
"Whilc this argument seems logical
the Appeal is inclined to believe that
much OF the money used in this Stute
is required because Of tho character
OF some Of the candidates that Repub-
licans are called upon to vote for.
The press Of this State has over and
over again been called upon by the
party bosses to support men notori
ously unfit and recking with the most
Infamous records.

THE C. r. FAvoIsS 1T.

In m argument in favor OF tho
Carlin and Boise Railroad the Free
Press says: Tho Central Pacific
Railroad, paying half the taxes OF tho
county, was in favor Of it," or
course the Central Pacific is in favor
OF n bill drawn by Geo. W. Baker,
their attorney. who is paid for work
ing in the interest OF his employers.
And in tho iaco Of this Endorsement
by the Central Pacific one OF the Elko
legislators snys That the people Of
Elko county .hould favor tho pro.
posed road because it would be n
competing line, and hence PRODUCE n
reduction in freishts. To show that
our representatives, had not learned
their lines we'll in defending their
position ON tho measure, ono tells us
that We should favo- it because the
Central Pacific favurs it, whilo an
other tells us that VIC should favor it
because il will DO n competing line
with tho Central Poetic. Now it re-
quircs no great depth Of thought to
reach tho conclusion that the Central
Pacific Railroad would not favor u
measure that would provo disastrous
to that corporation in compelling
them TO reduce their freight rates.
II is a forcgone conclusion that tho
Central Pacific will favor no measure
unless thOro is n fair and almost Ger
tain prospect that it will put coin in
their treasury; and the very fact that
that great octopus favors tho Cirlin
and Boise Railroad is one strong
reason why the scople OF Elko coun.
ty should oppose it, rs it is well
known that the interests Of that cor
poration and the people arc not iden-
tical.
