THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET

The Democrats have met in conVen
ton at Reno and put a ticket in the
field
George A. Bartlett. formerly of Eu-
reka but now of Nye county, was given
the nomination to fill the Congressional
chair in the lower house Of the Nation
al Legislature which has been dis
graced by c. ID. Van Duzer. Should
Mr.. Bartlett succeed at the polls it is
devoutly to be wished that he will de-
vote his time to legislation and not at
tempt to do "wildcatting' in mining.
John Sparks was rc-nomnated for
the office of Governor, notwithstanding
his frequent and vehement declarations
that he would under no circumstances
accept of a nomination at the hands OF
his party, always maintaining that one
term should be sufficient for any man
and that party honors should be di-
vided The Governor should not feel
aggrievcd if the voters take the same
view of the matter that he does and do
not support him at the polls, THE
News thinks that the course Governor
Sparks has pursued will make him
man easily defeated.
D. S. Dickerson, of Ely, was given
the nomination for Licutcnant-Gover-
nor 1t is our opinion that Mr.. Dick
,rco,, ;c tho cfr man IN tbp 4 iclS
Robert Rafticc, of Eureka, was nom
mated for Controller. Mr.. Raftice is
not a strong man in any particular
either mentally or otherwise.
Jimmie" Sweeney, of Ormsby, was
given the nomination for Supreme
Judge. The dream of his life to occupy
the Gubernatorial chair was knocked to
vapor by Governor Sparks. Jimmie"
was candidate for Governor and set
up his pins in the Gubernatorial alley.
He was sadly disappointed in not being
nominated, but that doesn't count as
he is very young yet and can afford to
take another job until such time as his
party sees fit to take the nursing bot
tie away from him. Any old thing was
better than nothing so Jimmie must
take his paragoric and be contented.
Frank Mannix, of Nye, was nominat-
ed for Secretary of State. We never
heard of him before SO we know moth
ing good, bad or Indifferent about him,
but understand he is the editor of the
Bullfrog Miner
The nomination for Attorney-G General
fell to the lot of r. C. Stoddard, of
Washoe. Dick is at present City At
torney of Reno. In years gone by
Dick has enjoyed the reputation of be-
ing "high roller" but has settled
down somewhat of late.
The Democratic delegates, not many
of them, at least, did not think as Gov
ernor Sparks did-that one term was
enough for any man and that party
honors should be divided up for the
Convention gave Dave Ryan, of Storey,
the nomination for State Treasurer for
the third time, Mr.. Ryan having served
two terms already in the same capacity.
General Kelley is another man that
has occupied the position of Surveyor
General for two terms and now seeks
Office for the third term. By the way,
it has been an unwritten law that no
man should hold office for three terms
and the Democratic party, individually
and collectively, has for years been
loud in it's denunciation of "third-term-
ers, from President of the United
States to township constable, but it
is probably different this year.
S. H. Mitchell, a school teacher some
where in Ormsby county, was given
the place on the ticket of Superintcnd-
ent of Public instruction. We know
nothing good or bad about Mr. Mitch
ell, so will refrain from any comment.
c. ID. Henderson, of Elko, was given
the place on the ticket for long term
Regent of the University and c. r.
Levers, of Washoc, for short term.
Both are good men.
