Hon. Chas. II. Morgan for Governor.

ShSASs AAS ~ VI 1Ol
As the County Convention which con-
vencs at Virginia on Monday next, is to
appoint Delegates to the State Convention,
upon whom will devolve the nomination
of candidate for Governor, we desire to
say, in this connection, that as Storey
county will, in all probability, be honorcd
with this Office, it will be well for the
Delegates to consult the public sentiment
and ascertain who stands in the most
favorable light as the choice of the Union
party for this high and responsible posi-
ton. At the primary election in Vir-
ginia, this question was fairly canvassed.
The party brought out two candidates
Charles II. Morgan and NJ. n. Mitchell
and the result of the election shows plainly
that the former gentleman is the choice. of
at least thrce-fourthS of the delegates
elected in that city. How the delegates
from Flowery precinct stand on this ques-
ton, we have no means of knowing as
yet but we have heard that they are ia
vorable to Morgan. As no particular
issue was presented in the election of the
Gold Hill delegates, we have n confidence
that they will concur in the preference as
expressed in favor of Judge Morgan by
the great voting mass of the county-fOr
they will, perhaps, remember that upwards
of two thousand votes were cast at the
primary election in Virginia, while in Gold
Hill there were but one hlndred and one
rotes cast-mauy Of our people, no doubt,
believing that our delegates would bidc
the result of the expressed sentiments for
Governor at Virginia, where both the
aspirantS reside, and where they are best
known to their fellow citizens.
1t is almost needless for us to attempt
to culogize Judge MORGAN, in order to
more favorably present him to the Union
Party as a proper candidate for this high
ottice-for it is our honest opinion that
the sentiment of the people of Virginia,
as expressed ut the primary election this
week, carries conviction with it which
shows how much they prefer him to his
competitor.
The political history of Judge Morgan
can be briefly summed up as follows: In
the good old days of our national pros
pcrity and peace, he was Wing, of the
Webster and Clay school of politics-and
stood up manfully to the principles of that
party until its final dissolution, when he
joined the old Republican Party, he being
then a resident of the southwestern section
of the State Of Illinois. Although warm
admircr Of the patriotic Stephen y. Doug
las, he was opposed to his general policy,
until the winter of 81 and 60, when he
became personal friend and supporter of
his measures, and, like thousands of true
and patriotic men, forgot the ties and pre-
objections of party organization and an
nounccd himSelfan UNCONDITIONAL UNION
Man, firm and determined supporter Of
the National Administration, i'll all its
policy, for the maintenance and pcrpctua-
ton of our Government. If the Union
Party of Nevada nominate and elect Judge
Morgan for their first State Governor, We
doubt not but that the Federal Admins
tration will find in him tower of strength
in carrying out its policy, and the people
rejoice in having made so good a selection
In their State Executive.
