umns ticket, the character Of which IS
fully described in the name bestowed upon
it BY the committee who present 1t to the
voters of Storey county for their support.
Il is an INDEPENDENT UNION TICKET.
The names composing it are those of sound
Union men, and were selected from those
already in the field by committee OF
gentlemen who are iadepsadsnt, free and
unrammeled by any ties OF connection
either with the /" Regular" Convention or
the Peoples Nominating Committee
I, has been selected from both those
tickets and from the Independent candi-
dates, and it is confidently believed that
the choice has fallen upon men OF unques-
tionable political soundness, moral intes-
risy and ability to faithfully and creditaoly
discharge the duties of the several stations
for which they are candidates, and with
the further belief. based upon a thorough
canvass of the popular sentiment, and un-
nistakeable popular indication that they
are the strongest men no1o IN the field. In
making these selections, the Committee
cast no aspersions upon the fitness Of
those whose names have been rejected. or
upon the worthiness of the motives OF
those who adhered to either Of the unhap-
PLY warning factions Of the great Union
Party of the county. The supporters Of
both those factions acted, we are willing
to admit, in good faith toward the party
and the people, and each nominating body
undoubtedly considered the manner OF its
constitution as most strongly claiming the
support of the majority of the loyal voters
of the county. There were. however, cir
cumstancss connected with the organiza-
ton of each that rendered them objection
able to heavy proportion OF the party,
and the result has been the complete dis
organization and Generalization of the
Union Party, and it now presents chaotic
mass, without any acknowledged head
which can with any justice or.propriety
claim its allegiance. Thus sundered, and
scattered, with multitude of candidates
all bearing the impress of Union men, and
all demanding support as such, the Union
Party of Storey county presents striking
instance of ga house divided against
ITSELF" and is in danger Of being over
slaushed and routed by the Copperhead
foes of the party and the nation, who
stand arrayed as unit against US. Under
such an unfortunate condition of affairs,
the committee who framed the 1ndepend-
ens Union Ticket, after consultation with
hundreds of loyal men who dread such a
defeat and its consequences, have made
the selections that are above presented for
the favorable consideration of their loyal
brethren. A majority of those whose
names have been dsoppsd are sound Union
men, and under other circumstances would
have been cheerfully supported; but with
all in the field and each receiving fair
proportion of the Union vote, all would
be involved in common defeat and the
county in political ruin. Those who have
been thus sighted in the choice must
attribute it not to want of due apprecia-
ton of their merits, but to the stern and
urgent necessities of the case.
The INDEPENDENT UNION TICKET con-
tains not, perhaps, more merit than could
have been found in another ticket which
could have been selected from the same
material, but it contains what is Of inf
mite importance THE GREATEST STRENGTH.
The necessity of Union for strength
has been earnestly urged for many days
past and has been universally admitted.
Who should give way, has been the great
and troublesome question. The two no.
minated tickets, the Regular" and the
PEOPLES" each demand, through their
organs, that the other should withdraw;
each claims the prestige of authority. We
fail to see that one is justly entitled to
any pre-eminence above the other. While
denying any such pre-eminence, we admit
the force and responsibility of both nomi-
mating bodies and the Difference to which
they are entitled; and the Independent
Committee have taken the choice of both
into earnest consideration. They, there
fore, call upon all good Union men in the
County of Storey to consider that, in the
making up of the Independent Union
ricker, the choice of every voter has been,
in part adopted: to consider that where
the dissension is so wide, it is but just
and reasonable that each should concede
a portion of his preference for the good
and harmony of all, and to rally as one
man to the support Of ticket which
combines all the elements of loyalty, in
segrity, capability and strength, and which
will ensure the success of the Union cause
in the County, and the overthrow Of the
common enemy of all.
