POLITICAL

| have matured to a time OF proper re'ea'-
;,c since last we indited under the above
head.
When Universe William was here, he
communicated with Charley DeLong
thus: "You run for Congressman next
Fall, and I'll run for United States Sem
a,or-we combining to carry the county
of Storey; and l will agree to aid you
to succeed Nye as United States Seua-
tor" Charley sounds his horn, once
an again, aud calls his faithful clan to-
gether. He lays before the council the
proposition he had received from the
Universe, saying, al replied that l would
summon my multitude of supporters,
and take advice of my thousands ere l
determine and dictate my reply" Then
one rising respectfully said: al consider
that William is now a cold corpus, and
he is so considered by all men in these
parts who cannot be deluded 10 their
sense of appreciation Of the efluvia Of
decomposition on account of a cloud Of
pomade incense. If you bind with him,
0, Carolus, you do not make a strong
team, but you hitch your youthful body
beside a dead horse-politically speak
ing" "Them's my sentiments" said
George, Sand l don't care whoever
don't like EN-" Whoever he. referred
to, he liked 'em. There was applause.
Then the executive officer commanded
order, though he approved the rising
sentiment, too. Then the council broke
up, and took a mild supper at a neigh
boring brewery. George Smith, of Red
Mountain, struck the party, and, as
usual, wrung in on tho lager. The
card-diplomatic was returned from Char
ley's camp, saying he was in the hands
of his people, (tcrms siguifying numer-
osity being employed altogether and
that, for the present, his people consid-
cred that there was not sufficient life in
the proposition to make it advantageous
for his thousands to %ravenously chav
it. In fact it might be considered "ds-
.clined," for the present.
1t should be revived and accepted.
That is the combination thatwould pro-
duce some Of the happiest results i'm
aginable. When you are out hunting,
there is nothing more agreeable than to
| find two birds or animals =" on a line"
Radically and recently converted DEM
ocrats should unite, and make original
Black Republicans, who can't 60 the
negro suffrage ticket, support them, or
take a back seat altogether. This is in
accordance with the eternal law Of tho
political fitness of things.
Tinker Bill didn't so away from here
particularly pleased with matters and
things. He courted combinations with
most every one, and probably agreed to
q political partnership with several pol
i~ticians for each office. But he suspect
ed that "suthiu" was a little wrong
with his beste,t cheer-eyerering friends.
His reputed proehein ami may be all
right and he may not. That's the
devil of it. Perhaps his next friend has
o slight hankering to be United States
Senator himself. And, and, and even q
chap like the top-chawer could see that
the turning out Of Caulkins and installa-
ton of the Injin civilizer might not be
for his, the aforesaid Williams, benefit
when the labor really commenced.
Even William grinned and suggested
that perhaps he was not actually Sin"
the new arrangement. First he knew,
some Of his expected support might
prove too Sandy to help a man of his
sandy complexion. So he uursed old
Blaze, all the more; Blazy, who, Of
course, didn't, last winter, feed Charley
belong with a promise to help him to
the United States Senate, in case Charley
would aid in imposing the outrageous
tax on mines, etc., etc. And then he
came again to Virginia, to send another
amiable message to belong who, Of
course. don't know that William was
the real author of Nye's answer to his
frs: onslaught on the lately reelected
Nevada Senator. To tell you the tough
fact William left with his hat full Of
hornets-lenthered entirely.
The capital and capitol question is
bound to have an influence 10 the next
election. William could very convent
emily say to Carson /: as end q delega-
ton to the Legislature for me, and I'll
have the Storey Legislators unanimous
for q 5000 900 appropriation for build
ing a State House at the present capi-
tai" But having said this he is in as
bad a muss as belong is with his miner
tax record,-perhaps worse off. For it
is no sure thing that the taxpayers Of
Storey county desire any appropriation
for a capitol building, next year, (too
poor) even though they all favored the
proposition to permanently locate it at
Carson. And here comes in Lander
county with a call for q capital location
at Austin, too, supposed
to be favored by the Dutch Flat Rail-
road Company, for obvious reasons.
