Hon. D4n w Peery, Of Canadian
county, is one among the stalwart
Democrats Of this territory who has
made his influence felt, and has left
and is leaving today the impress OF his
daily work upon the politics and the
industrial conditions Of the territory.
He was a member of the first legisla.
tive assembly, anl his work in that
body was so satisfactory to the people
that he was returned to the second
legislative assembly, In both OF which
bodies he held up the Democratic end
with credit to himself and the entire
satisfaction of the Democratic party.
" Dan" as he is called by his friends
is a generous, whole-souled fellow
whom every body likes and whom his
party friends delight TO honor. lie is
the editor OF the FL Reno Globe, one Of
the live Democratic ter itorial jour
nails, and an earnest exponent Of JEFF

FLYNY mn S4CRTFTCE.

The Republican territorial conven-
ton met, resoluted through the entire
alphabet. nominated Hon. d. T, Flynn
and then adjourned The nomination
OF Flynn was one OF the most farcical
and ludicrous performances ever wit
messed, and can only be compared to
play awkwardly put upon the stage
and as aokwardiy played until the
curtain was rung down on the last
scene. Flynn, however, knew his paIt
we'll, and played it 10 a finish with
most consummate skin. Every step
from the meeting of the convention 20
the end Dennis played his hand with
his usual dexterity. He first announced
that he would not accept the nouina-
ton under any conceivable circum-
stances, but those in the secret knew
there was a string to this. Finally,
when the convention had done jIst
what he knew it would do, he told
them that he would only accept the
nomination when all the candidates
came upon the floor o. the convention
and pledged to HIM their undying
feAlty. This was another part Of the
scheduled programme, and it worked
TO charm.
There is a noticeable absence in the
whole proceedings Of any Endorsement
OF GOV. Barnes and his administration
This studied insult TO the present ter
ritorial administration, taken in con
nectiou with the fulsome aad gushing
endorsement OF the Hon, d. T. Flynn,
the incorporating enemy Of Gov.
Barnes, the Nemesis who has sworn TO
camp on his track until he has driven
him out Of politics and into his own
seelusion must be anything but sooth-
ing to his excellency
