Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1898-09-17

THE insane individual who pre-
sides over the besmeared sheet
named the Elko Argonant opens his
mouth this week and emits a stink
about the TIMES man being sore
headed. Don't you ever think it,
popinjay. We are disappointed to
think that Lyon county could not
have a place on the Silver Ticket.
She deserves it far more than some
of the counties which did get repre-
sentation on the ticket. Lyon county
has been as loyal to the cause as
any county in the State. Here is
where the silver movement started
don't forget that-and there are
Others in this county who are much
more disconnected about Lyon being
left in the cold than the TIMES man
is about his defeat. We are used
to such things, but having the good
of the cause at heart are a little
anxious about what the result will
be in the coming election in Lyon
county. When party scorns the
place of it's birth and sneers at the
people who fostered it in infancy
there is liable to come a day of reck-
oning, and the chastisement is also
liable to be severe. In the words of
the illustrious statesman from Nye
county, "we repel the insinuation"
that we are soreheaded.

SOME fellow by the name of Day
says that Nick Hummel, of the
Wadsworth Dispatch lies when he
says that Nevada's exhibit at Oma-
ha is not up to the standard. We
do not know this man Day, but we
do know Nick Hummel, and we
will wager our print shop against a
pigs tail, that Nick will prove
everything he has said, and possibly
more. lie has never stated that
the mineral exhibit of Nevada at
Omaha is not all right. 1t is the
agricultural exhibit he is kicking
about as being a detriment to the
State.

THERE seems to be considerable
difference of opinion in Lyon county
in regard to making nominations
on Silver Ticket this year, and as
near as we can learn the majority
are opposed to making any nomina-
tions in convention. This state of
affairs has been brought about by
the independent candidates getting
in and defeating the county ticket,
or the most of it, two and four years
ago. Silver men have been too
ready to fight over technical points,
and as consequences the party has
been considerably weakened But
few candidates this year have the
sand to announce that they want a
nomination by the party. In Hum
boldt county the plan of running
by petition has been in vogue for
several elections, and it seems to
work all right. This may be be-
cause there are none but silver men
in Humboldt county. The TINES is
not tied to either plan, and only
hopes to see harmonious arrange
ment made to elect friends of the
county,

SILVER men in Lyon county, es-

ANY adverse criticism of the
course Of the Administration is at
once denounced in certain quarters
as unpatriotic and almost treason
able. 1t is all right though for the
friends of the Administration to
wrap Mr. Mckinley in our national
colors, place an unsheathed, glitter
ing sword in one hand, and the
star spangled banner in the other,
set him upon lofty pedestal and
ask the people to gaze upon him,
the greatest, the wisest, and the
most patriotic America living, the
champion of humanity and free
government everywhere, and, what
is more important with some per-
sons, certain to be his own success
sor at the expiration of his present
term. When the friends of Mr..
Mckinley are SO manifestly seek
ing to turn every event of the war
to his political advantage, then his
entire record becomes the Just and
proper subject of DISCUSSION and
criticism.

FEAR ORDER MAY BE REVOKED.
MEN OIL, THE NINTH REGIMENT UNWILLING TIC
DO GARRISON DUTY AND ANXIOUS TO
BE MUSTERED orT

BE MUSTERED OCI'
Despite the order which was issued some ti'ne
ago that the 9th Regiment should be mustered out
80 servioe by Major Coolidge of the 7th United
States Infantry on october 90 there was cohsid-
cradle anxiety the subject among the members
~ The regiment who gathered at the armory, In
Fourteenth-st yesterday The men fear that the
order 10 muster out the regiment may yet DC re-
voked and the regiment be sent 10 do garrison
duty at Porto Rico. They also fear that NUMBER
Of the officers OF the regiment are working TO pre-
vent the mastering out, and they have no hesita-
ton I'm saying so.
A number OF the officers seen yesterday denied
that Colonel Greene had made any effort to keep
the regiment in service but the men refuse 10 ac-
cent these denials. one captain openly acKhowi-
edged that he wished TO stay in the service. ana ne
declared further that there was roll or six nun
dred names OF men in the regiment who wished 10
be transferred to Regular Regiment. Not
single man could be found In the armory. how
ever who wanted TO Join the regulars or who
wished TO have the regiment continued In service
When tho captain referred TO was asked about
this he made the following reply:
ooh well; you will find kicters in every regi
ment"
The truth seems to be that fully three fourths
OF the men want to be mustered out as quickly a3
possible and II matters not what some OF the ON
GERS may say the contrary. The men were anxious
TO go TO Cuba when there was necessity for tne.r
promotion on tho battlefield. but they have no de-
sire 70 perform garrison duty.
The trouble has gone so far that some or the
men openly charge that Colonel Greene not only
wishes to have the regiment continued In service
but that he s backed up by some officers. who are
anxious TO become professional soldiers. These
Officers Il Is said formerly served In the English
German and Austrian armies.
II is strange n. somo OF the officers say so
many OF the men want 10 be continued In the SER
Vice that none OF them can be found. II is hardly
probable that when none OF those who are forced
10 live at the armory. while waiting for their over
due pay to buy citizens clothes with do not want
TO so. that six hundred OF those who have taken
advantage OF their furlonghs 20 go home should
want 10 go 10 Porto Rico. The majority OF the
latter have good homes and situations. while the
former are without either just AZ present. AS one
man snd Yesterday, the whole thing Is farce, and

General Chambers McKibbin. commander Of the
First Brigade First Division. is seriously I'll from
fever contracted In the Santiago campaign. and Is
confined 70 his quarters. The surgeons say more
than half the men in the hospitals are there

that If they received thirtyday furloughs they
would come back in good physical condition, The
apparently strong lads from the country seem TO
succumb sooner to disease than the city men.
