The beer and Doodle campaign of
the local Republican candidates for
county offices has heretofore attracted
attention. but little respecting it has
appeared in print, for a number of rea-
sons. any one of which was sufficient.
chief among them being the fact that
no one wanted to hurt the feelings Of
any candidate, or do anything which
might serve as an excuse in the event
of his defeat There was, incidental
IL. some curiosity to see just how far
the local candidates for offices in the
party of high moral ideas would go.
They had long since broken all Ohio
county records. but there have been
indications that they were not salts
fed with that but intended to make
the campaign of 1896 for Republican
nominations such a memorable one for
the impecuniOus and bibulously in
clined. as TO mark the year with a white
stone. from which future political
events could be dated with entire GER

dollars to set this high mark for fu-

For several days past it has been
common report about the city that Mr..
Charles BaChman, candidate for the
Republican nomination for Sheriff,
would drop out of the fight, and a rea-
son why was stated along with the re-
port. Yesterday it was stated that Mr..

lican Executive Committee had not
been paid, the same being due Satur-
day. and that while no official notitica-
ton had been given out by Mr.. Bach
mann. his withdrawal would be made
public before the primaries came on.
Ii is understood in political circles that
Mr.. Bachmann has a kindly personal
feeling for Mr.. Travis. and will do all
he can to aid that gentleman, but OPP
ponents of Captain Travis say that
much of Mr.. Bachmann's strength Will
be divided among Richards and Mottat.

Never did not pay his assessment on

mind. but that he did not come to a
definite conclusion until Sunday, and
that his withdrawal will also be pro

The Would lie Reed Delegate Brought to

The WouId-Be Reed Delegate Brought to
see the Error of His Ways.
Mr.. Joseph c. Brady, who wanted to
be a delegate from West Virginia to the
Republican National Convention at st.
Louis. has been brought TO see the
error Of his ambition, and has de
clined" to further permit the use OF his
name in that Connection.
This means that between the per-
sonal assurances of the Mckinley lead
5rs in Ohio county. and Mr.. Brady's
own conclusions Of the hopelessness of
the Job he had cut out for himself, he
has come to the point where he does
not care TO further jeopardize his polit-
zeal future by antagonizing the folks
who are just now debating what Ohio
county Republicans must do and think
about, and has concluded to get under
cover.
incidentally, it also means that the
McKinleyites hive broken down the last
barrier to a solid delegation from this
end of the State and that theJloca1 dis
ciples of the Ohio champion az High
taxes and lots of political fat will
have things pretty much their own
way 1t does not necessarily mean,
however. as stated in the Intelligencer
Yesterday morning, that Ohio county
will have but one delegate in the ST.
Louis Convention. Not by any means.
With Mr. Brady as a candidate for
delegate, and Mr. Brady for Speaker
Reed for President, there were cogent
and conspicuous reasons why there
ought not be two delegates from Ohio
county. But with Mr.. Brady's disap-
pearance from the political stage many
of these reasons fade from view. and it
is openly predicted that Ohio county
will have Mr. Schmulbach for district
delegate and Mr. c. B. Hart. of the
Intelligencer. for one of the delegates
at large from the State. Stranger

Death fWiIliam LaWrenson,

A dispatch reached the APPEAL from
Ely yesterday, announcing the death
Of William Lawrenson of pneumonia
on Sunday. Mr.. Lawrenson IA an
attachee Of the last session Of the
Legislature and was but a few months
ago admitted to the bar. He was a
man of great ingenuity and capacity,
with a mind stored with legal lore.
He seemed posted upon any subject
that could be brought up fer discus
sion, but he was Of that peculiar tenn
perment so seldom seen in the West.
He undressing ted his own abilities.
He knew ten times as much as lots Of
people he came in contact with, but
he seemed strangely unaware of the
fact. He was as true a hearted man
as ever lived. generous, broad minded
without a spot of selfishness or ar
ogance in his make up, and his
many friends in this city will deeply
regret his untimely taking off.

An Opinion of the Purity Law.

Carson. Sept. %, 1896.
JOHN LoTHRoP, ESQ :-Answering
yours of the Goth inst. 1 wish first to
call your attention to the fact that Sec.
5 Of the Purity of Election Law"
covering as it does. a full page Of the
Stats. Of 1895 PIP. 96-7, is but one sen
tence with no full stop from the begin
ming to the very end. In other words.
when the author once got started he
did not know how to stop and SO put
several seperate provisions lnto one
single sentence. But from a careful
reading of the section I come to this
conclusions: that tic expenses or the
conduct and management OF an ell
ection and incidental expenses" OF a
candidate are intended to he two sep
arate and distinct allowable eXpen-
ditures. and that for the former viz.
public meetings, etc., as enumerated.
a candidate may be assessed or voluU-
tariiy contribute legitmately the per
| centage of his irst years salary etc,
aud may in addition himself expeDd
500 for "'iBcideutal expenses or by
committee $500 for the same, all Of
which must be sworn to and receipts
taken or vouchers filed for all sums
expended either those paid for the
conduct and management or for
~"incidental expenses"
The reason, as l take it, that a COM
mittee can spend $500 more than the
candidate himself is that the com
mittee may send some candidate on
electioneering trips as orators, OF
otherwise, and in thai way incur more
''incidental expenses" than the candi
date himself could, who is limited tC
800.
Yours truly
