. REGlSrEK AND ENRoL.-One week from
Thursday the primary election takes place.
and no one can vote at the respective
Club rooms who has not paid his poll-tax
and re-registered his name for 1867.
Judge Hall is the authorized legal party
70 whom the tax can be paid, and by
whom registry can be made IN Gold Hill.
Every Union man owes it 10 himself and
his country TO attend TO this duty at once.
aud thus avoid the pain Of self-reproach
should the result Of the primaries differ
from his choice. Negligence Of duty at
primary elections is the source Of all po-
!itical errors in choice Of candidates who
are not fitted for positions of honor and
trust. The First Ward Club book is at
Markewitz'S store, and signatures can be
made Thursday evening at the regular
meeting.

there. We much desire 20 listen TO our
friend Butsch; who. without disparaging
reflections on any other man, we will take

of any man in Storey county. BE on
hand promptly, Union men, on tomorrow
night, at the Club room oil B street, Viz
