DELINQUENT SALES TOMORROW
STOREY COUNTY UNION TICKET.
ARROGANT ASSUMPTION.

David :. Turner, A" President Of the Terri
torial Central Committee for the National
Union Party" has, from the preternatural
expansion OF his internal sulphuretted ny
drogen, become distended to the proportions
OF Il GREAT AN. At meeting Of the citi-
Gems of Storey county, than whom a more
loyal community does not exist within the
boundaries of the United States, as they have
shown by their every word and deed,) reso-
luton was introduced BY Almarin B. Paul,
and adopted BY 4 laundering aye" That
resolution reads as follows:
Rssolred Tha, we. the merchants, miners and
business men and citizens generally OF storey
county do hereby. in mass meeting assembled, de-
clare our full aIherancc to the Federal Govern
ment and our readiness 10 aid it rs far AS in our
power: but rs gold and silver has been for years
our currency, We hereby declare that we Will al
here TO the same. and denOunce any man as act
Ing dishonOrably who pays any debt with green
backs, unless by agreement.
The next day, David 5. Turner, President,
mot of the United States,) issues to a gaping
world HIS proclamation, in the words and
figures following, to-wit:
4 Observation-Disclosures. Editors: My atten-
tion has been attracted 10 resolution which
adopted with enthusiasm" at the ''anti'greeu-
back meeting held on the evening of the 2sth
inst, in Virginia This resolution was offered by
\. B. Paul, Esq, with whom have been, and am
now. associated upon the Territorial Central
Committee for the National Union Party" l de-
uounce this resolution disoyal in its character
and such rs does not in any degree represent the
sentiments of the said Committee. Nor DO | be.
leye that strict compliance with loyal sentiment
will permit any loyal man 10 give utterance TO
that which would have 4 tendency to discredit the
Federal Administration. or the means by which
she Federal Administration is supported.
Respectfully, yours, etc.
DAVID $. TCRNER,
President Territorial Central Committee for the
National Union Party.
People Of ordinary common sense, after
reading the foregoing resolution and them
festo of Turner, will wonder upon what III
Aating viands and beverages David s. Turner,
etc, etc., hath gorged himself. 1t will be
considered by many who look upon tina, gen.
tleman and his political position through the
imperfect ligh, of human understanding, that
the President, etc, ETC., has mistaken and
overrated the powers and functions to his
office appertaining and belonging, and has,
in vulgar parlance, grown too big for his
breeches." 1t may be that the Central Com
mittee, in making him their presiding officer,
did then and there, and BY that act, invest
him with a principal proportion OF the Divine
attributes; but there is one of those attributes
we believe TO have been specially reserved on
that occasion by the Creator of the Universe
for his own use, and that is the attribute Of
omnisCience. That Committee did not con-
stitute David 5. Turner the Keeper Of the
Seals Of the public conscience, the dehner
and expounder of loyalty, nor the Minister
of Finance and general regulator of public
and private affairs in and for the Territory
of Nevada. The committee had neither the
power nor the will to constitute Mr.. Turner
all or any of these things, and if the right to
exercise these functions is in that individual,
he has, Napoleon-like, placed the imperial
crown upon his own majestic brow. It might
have done very well for him to have spoken
his individual sentiments upon the point at
issue: that he had good right to have done,
and his opinion would, like his vote at the
ballot-box, have counted one. But when he
assumes to twist the names Of the other ten
men composing the Central Committee into
4 lash wherewith TO thrash \. B. Paul, and
nearly the whole population Of Storey Coun-
ty, he is putting on a little too much airs and
pOmp-by devilish sight. That the people
of this county are Z loyal people, and that
Almarin B. Paul is loyal citizen, are facts
too well established in this Territory and
elsewhere to be shaken BY any Nominations
of David S. Turner. He had as well be
cautious as to how he goes to firing his old
usurped blunderbuss of accommodation
around this way. 1t may kick and knock
him over some Of these odd times. His po-
sition Of dictator to the people upon the sub
ject of either loyalty or finance is entirely
self-imposed, and in assumingit he is neither
needed nor thanked. You can stand aside,
David S
