ALL TOGETHER! Yo-HEAvEm

ALL TOGETHER! Yo-HEAvE!!
The first Of June is near at hand, aud
our political opponents are straining
every nerve and devising every possible
Continuance to commemorate :he day
by throwing the local government OF
Gold Hill into the hands Of the Dcmoc-
raey. SHALL THIS THING Be?
All through the late terrible struggle
for national existence; in the darkest
hours of the nations direst danger in
the days that tried the hearts and souls
Of the bravest. best and truest, Gold
Hill bore an untarnished standard in the
fore Of the fight. Shall she trail that
standard now: Shall she falter, quail,
turn back and retrace her steps along
the proud path Of honor and duty which
she has so g~loriously trod? Shall the
oft-time redeemer Of Storey county and
the State of Nevada, hitherto the ~trnest,
s~tauuchest and most reliable champion
Of Uniouism, belle her patriotic record
and sink into the loathsome embraces oil
Democracy now?
Shall the night Of June LIST re-awaken
the lively, loyal echoes that crSt-whila
shook the joyful sides Of old Mount Da-
wilson, or shall the rebel yell familiar
at Fort Pillow, in the Memphis riots and
the New Orleans massacre, r~everberatc
Gold Hills apostasy? We are well
aware that u very large proportion oil
the Union men Of Gold Hill are deeply
sensible Of the active exertions mecca
sary TO avert such II catastrophe, anu
we are equally well awarc that the num-
Der thus impressed embrace the bulk OF
the intelligence and worth Of the COM
munity. A c~ommendable earnestness
aud activity characterize the move
ments Of larger proportion oLour peo-
pie than is ordinarily to be met with.
| But there is still much to be done, n
| the almost superhuman exertions OF our
opponents make it imperative!y neces-
sary that nothing be left undone, no
stone left unturncd to insure II certain
victory. We are not of those who con-
slider the reconstruction policy OF Con-
rress, the election Of General Grant, or
the future of the National Union party
involved in our approaching charter
election, and yet it may not be denied
that the result of our little contest will
probably have somc effect even on the
great impending national contest.
Neither in the Clubs nor elsewhere
have we ever heard a member OF the
| Union party assert or hint that our
nominees are either unfit, incapable
or improper persons to fill tho posi-
| tons for which they have, respect
iyelv, been nominated. On the contra
nv, it is admitted, even by our political
opponents, that our nominations have
been made rare with discrimination.
| Such being the case, we cannot perceive
any COED grounds upon which we or our
opponents can, in case of defeat, claim
that the contest was decided on local or
other than political grounds. As both
parties have presented ft and unexcep.
tionable nominees, the result may very
fairly be claimed as an exposition Of the
political status of our town, provided
the full vote of both parties can be
brought out. And the doubt contained
in that little word "if," is the rock
which we are required to avoid. That
the Democracy will rally their last man
is beyond a peradventure. That they
will also rally any Of our men who show
signs of weakness of knee, limbernes;
Of the vertebral column, or mereenary
disposition, is equally certain. 1t will
be our duty to rally the true men, and
have every man ut his post ready fol
duty. The contest is destined to DO O
close one, and no true man will claim
the right, we trust none have the incli'
nation to neglect any effort which may
tend to save Gold Hill aud maintain hel
proud fame. Time is short and the
emergency critical, so ga long pull, q
strong pull, and n pull altogether
