STOREY COUNTY UNION pR1-

may quote the s~ubjoined, from the Carson
Appeal Of yesterday. 1t will be observed
that here Is an indictment, Of the entire
Union party Of this county, and a dis
tinct announcement that there is only one
honest Union man in storey-and he,
here on q visit:
That snarling, venal class, whose organ
is the GOLD HILL News, were at the bot
tom Of the Orphan Asylum scheme, be-
lteving that the proposed bill would be
vetoed, and that that veto would kill
Blasdel among the Catholics in Storey
county, and that the adverse votes Of the
priests and laymen Of that sect would de-
feat his reelection. And in this common
cause against the man whom they could
bring no stronger abuse against than that
he is a "psalm singer" the "Sumner
men and the "Clagett men," the pro-
prie,or of the GOLD HILL News and the
proprietor Of the Territorial Enterprise,
and the " Winters men " and the Whit
man men," and, indeed, all the odds and
ends Of party trickery and political de-
pravity, forget for the moment their indi-
vidual enmities, and formed an unholy al
lance against the man whose honesty
they feared, whose nerve they knew
they could not shake, and whose
integrity they knew they could
not corrupt. Such was the state Of affairs
in Storey county when BlaSdel returned
from San Francisco, where, during the
most critical period Of the contest for the
political favor Of the Union party Of Sto-
rey county, he had been sick nigh unto
death. He entered the fight despite the
discouragements Of his friends and des-
pite the we'll known fact that his oppo-
nent had spent and was spending his
money freely to organize all the various
elements against him, and, indeed, des-
pite the most unfavorable appearances
that were ever arrayed against a man who
finally %triumphed. But with faith in the
right. "as God gives US to see the right

moral courage which so mark his charac-

BILE citizens Of Storey county, he swept
msjestically past all the stumbling blocks
that his enemies had thrown in his way,
and stalked to glorious victory, like a
conquering hero that he is, through and
by the discounted wire-workers and
schemers who had plotted together to
work his ruin and to disappoint and over.

Nevada. And thus, against the most
stupendous advantages Of time and money,
against utilization and the promptings OF
the bitterest hate, against the most cum
ming combinations and the most expert
enced manipulators, Blasdel triumphed
and rescued the cause Of the people, the
party and the State. We would make no
invidious comparisons, but we say what
we think and feel. when we say that his
enemies are pigmies in contrast with him
Well, well, well-friends and fellow.

lime and the ridiculous has been bridged,
and the derivative Of the former is only
an adverb for present use!
II there is one fact more notorious thar
another in this county, it is that tht
friends of Sumner and belong packed
Blasdel in Virginia city. And yet w

rial Of his organ at Carson), Gov. Blasde
has said, at the capital, that he "had to

ran a ticket in the First and the Fourth
Wards of Virginia city, with B. c. Whit
man, and polled his personal strength or

And a cloud Of competent and ~irrefutabl'
witnesses will testify that il Blasdel had
not been involved in the Second and
Third Ward tickets Of Sumner and De-
Long, their majorities would have beer
counted by the scores. Had Gen. Win

belong and Sumner, Blasdel could no
have sworn that he had been running an!
ticket at all.
We copy the above, as we have under

the praise it lavishes on the vetoer Of tn
Orphan Asylum Bill can and should b
duly appreciated.
We should have allowed this last proc

its absurdity it might possibly deceive
