At noon on Tuesday, January Is, Zone
week from yesterday the members of
our Legislature will be required by law
Of Congress to 60 into Joint Convention
and ballot for . U. S. Senator. As q
journalist who has aided in the organi-
sation of, and the gaining Of the power
and strength now possessed by the great
Union Party Of this coast, we have
raised our voice for the reelection OF
Hon. JAMES W. NYE-not that we are
an enemy to any Of the other aspirants
for the p~osition-for we are ready to
concede to them the credit and honor Of
being true and loyal men, and possessed
of excellent abilities IS citizens and
legislators for a State. But we certain
" do not concede to them such abilities
and craftsmanship as are possessed by
Mr.. Nye. Mr.. Nye's long residence in
what now constitutes the State Of Ne
vada; his intimate acquaintance with all
the interests that pertain to US as q
COMMUNICATING, trading and agri-
cultural-and his lifelong experience
and observation with the leading men
and interests Of the Nation-certainly
entitle him to a reelection to the high
position which he has filed for two
years past, to the honor and credit OF
this State and to this Nation. The
Union party Of the State Of Nevada
should feel honored, and no doubt will,
in availing itself, through its Legislative
delegation, ofthe services ofsuch a man
rs JANIS W. NYR-and who to-day has
not q superior as q statesman, and a
true patriot, in the United States Senate.
1t would certainly be a national calam-
ity to deprive the high Council House
of the nation Of the keen insight, sturdy
6rmness, bold determination, sharp in
veetive, ready repartee and silvery
speech Of Senator Sye in such a juno
ture as the present. Few men in the
nation arc better prepared, BY long eS-
p~erience in public affairs, perfect knowl-
edge of the temper and wants OF the
people to do good service in the exigen-
cies before US. No man would be half
As likely as he to carry every measure
needful for the State. Nothing in rea-
SON will be denied to such Senators as
Nye and Stewart. So we are glad to
congratulate the Union men of Nevada
upon the fine prospect they are opening
for themselves by their conciliatory and
kind spirit and speech, and BY the earn
est energy and activity which charac-
terises the nva Men who did so
nobly last year have by that very act
nut themselves under bonds to their
brethren in every State to be true to
themselves on this second trial. So
good q reputation carries a great weight
of obligation, and all will expect as
great efforts. and as happy q result this
year. The Eastern States have set an
example for US all on this side Of the
continent, and we cannot afford to be
behind any in the work Of redeeming
the Union party from the odium into
which the President and some Of his
followers have dragged it. We must
prove to the world that we a make
good in action every proud boast of our
intelligence IN which we have INDUCED;
that NO strategy a overresch US; no
threats intimidats, nor fears deter US;
that we know the right, the just and
true path, and we will walk in it like
men; that, approaching the priceless
value of q free Government, we are
willing to make every requisite sacrifice
to sustain it.
