THE WORK PERFECTED BY THE
UNION STATE CONVENTION.

The welfare of the Great Cause was
the predominant spirit charsc:erizing
the Convention which closed IFS labors
on Wednesday evening. AS we antici-
pated, the feeling which prevailed at
Chicago and which gave to the ma
jority of the loyal people of this Re
public their unanimous choice, was
the ruling incentive of the representa-
tives of the Union party of Nevada in
council assembled. Harmony was the
watctword Of the occasion.
To briefly review the history of those
proceedings in the order Of their occur
renee. We have first to consider the
character and purport of the reSolu-
lions which were adopted as signify ing
the sentiments of the party. These ex-
pressions state with admirable succint-
ness the hearty feeling of satisfaction
with which every Union man in this
State accepts the work of the National
Conventional most fitting Federation
Of the enthusiastic endorsement of Grant
and Colfa1. the thougbtfllness of the
Committee is we'll exemplIfed in the
cordial expression OF sympathy of this
people OF the " anniversary of Mexican
independence with our sister Repub-
lie and the earnest fellow feeling of
could not have been
better impaired. The remainder Of the
contains all that need be
as an approval of the work
done by the National Convention.
1t is almost needless for US to say
that we regard the nomination to Con
zress of the Hon. Thomas Fitch as an
act of great justice and wisdom-jus
lice to one of the bravest, most constant
md effective of those whose lives are
devoted to the advancement of the cause
If Right and Justice and wisdom AS
IN act of policy in behalf of the party
tself. The rank and file of the Union
organization feel not only a strong
u eference 70, Mr.. Fitch as their Con-
.ressional nominee, but are convinced
hat he has earned the right to The honor
4 hich be sought. Ii may be said with
10 disparagement to any individual in
be party, that with his powers Of elo
,uence and of debate and with the pop
llnrity which attaches TO his name, Mr..
7itch's nomination is by all odds the
pest that could be made. We do not in
en- d this AS laudation of Mr.. Fitch, but
atber rs bespeaking our views wi, b
egard TO the propriety and policy
# his nomination. And in this con-
ection, still keeping in view the
remises upon which We have started,
re offer a few words regarding the &C
ion taken by Mr.. Slausen. This gen
leman, by the outspohen, manly tenor
his action fairly divided the honors I
