Tax reform and silver mining pressure in Nevada
The Eureka Leader argues the next Nevada Legislature must find a two year revenue plan without onerous taxation. It notes 1880 taxable values at about 27 million, annexed by 5 million from mines for a total of 35 million, demanding higher state taxes or reduced offices to balance current expenses. It blames bullion discounts and silver demonetization for discouraging mining and delaying conclusive economic relief.

Enterprising Patriot Repeats Ballots Across States
The New York papers report an industrious voter who cast ballots for Garfield in New York City at 6:50 a.m., then for the Sage of Mentor in Hartford, Connecticut, and finally for the Ohio man in a Massachusetts district. The patriot did all this for fifty dollars and expenses, with no danger from the Solid South while the National Republican Committee funds such actions.
