allowing for some Illegal votes, the wreohed Democracy
only have about hundred majority in Owyhee County
The total vote Of this County IN August 1862 was seven
hundred and ninty with average Democratic majority OF
hundred aud forty With an increase OF over one
third voters the CONDOLENCES majority is reduced IN
fully that ratio. We have every reason TO believe
that next August will see the true Union party in the
majority in Owyhee County for as the placer mines be-
como "workcd out" does Democracy. As an instance
of tho loyalty Of quartz miners and the correctness Oh the
proposition rule, look at the State OF Nevada lts

elected 90 the Senate in 1854 Then we take courage and
hope, and knOW that as quartz mining advances democracy
