THE COMING

and they have opened new Halls lately,
for the purpose of holding meetings, and
placing files Of their journals for the peru.
sal Of those Of their number who have the
disposition or the ability to read. And
throughout the interior Of our neighbor
State they have dispatched agents to drum
up for their papers and lecture on their
principles. Aside from their discipline"
they are certainly not formidable for
they have no really strong men at the
head Of their ranks. Such poor stuff in
human composition. as Ben Washington
and lack Montgomery appear to be in the
van and while the former is reviving the
oldes, and most thoroughly exploded
dogmas of Copperheadism, the latter is
bowling himself wrinkled against the i'm.
pregnable American system Of free schools.
Blu. none of the champions Of the Cops. in
California lack in industry and zeal; and
they evince a determination TO Fight the
battle of their party next Fall with a spe-
cies Of vigor that is always threatening the
success Of evil in new communities.
How is it in Nevada: Not less re-
solved, and even more confident are the
Cops here than in California. 1t is true,
they have been lately somewhat discour-
aged in witnessing the lack Of success OF
certain organs to divide the Union party on
so-called Radical issues; and they are
chagrined to note that the Unionists OF the
largest community in the State have risen
up and reformed municipal affairs by q
clean, new ticket, and that despite the eff
forts of the same journal on whom they
relied for a division in our organization.
But notwithstanding all this, they are
holding their caucuses nightly. connecting
their plans for the near campaign with
great ~shrewdness, and still fa,tering them
selves that something will yet "turn up
TO permanently distract or "demoralize"
our party. They whisper about, tina, dis
appointed Office seekers of yesterday will
recruit their strength on tomorrow. This
and the like s],reet-corner gabble. is Of
course worthy Of no special attention; but
the fact Of their laboring with ~undeniably
strong expectations Of a victory should at
the present time be made q matter Of
general public understanding. II it is not
thought advisable for US to Immediately
commence recognizing ward Clubs, or
even starting a Central County Society,
our people should constantly bear in mind
tina, i, is their duty to labor to the extent
of ability and provided opportunity, in
confirming and advancing the doctrines
Of our political faith. In private CONVEX
s~ations, much can be done from this time
on by every true Union man to increase
the power Of the party.
We believe we say nothing that can be
challenged successfully, when we state
tha, It is the intention Of the Union party
to enter the Fall canvass on a liberal, Ma
sioual Union Platform-one upon which
all men who approve the grand dogmas of
the Union organization Of 1865 can stand
and act. That there may be 10 attempt
made, or renewed, BY and by, to s,raigh.
ten the bands of party creed, is quite like
ly; that the attempt, if made, will result
in the defeat Of the persons who inaugu-
rate it is more than likely. The policy"
of the Administration and of Congress
will be thoroughly settled before the Pri-
maries are held-long before, probably,
and upon that, special planks in the plat
form may be aud will be legitimately
made. But it is already evident that the
Platform. worded in some particulars on
the policy of the President and Con-
gress, will not notably differ from the one
adopted in 1865; and wherein there is a
change, it will be Of a character to invite
cooperation and not repel enlistments,-
much less drive out any man who honest
ly stood to the creed written last Fall.
It may be said that the n will
fairly open by the LIST Of September. But
between now and then, candidates for the
prominent Offices may be reasonably ex-
pected to be engaged in looking well to
their chances, and improving them if they
have any. There are forty-swo ame to
be placed on the ticket in Storey County
including State, County and Precinct
candidates. Why should not the times grow
"lively" from this on, till November
The tickets Of all parties will probably be
in the field BY the LIST Of October; and for
hat one month look out for q stumping
tornado by the hosts on either side. And,
finally, we say: Expect a Union victory,
under the conditions above supposed, as
naturally and heartily as you anticipate
the rising of the morroY's sun,
