VICTORY. VICTORY, v1oToRYll,

VICTORY! vIoToRY!l vIoToRY!l!
Through n conflict that may appro-
priatcly be termed the Wilderness"
Of political battles, the leal, %staunch
and true Union mon of Gold Hill yester-
day bore the proud old banner Of tho
Republic to glorious victory. 1t was n
grand, a magnificent achievement !
Bribery, cajolery, sophistry and brute
force did their utmost, but patriotism,
honesty and irmness overcame them
all. We have travelled some and taken
an active part in politics for n quarter
of a century, but anything a%pproxima-
ting the disgraceful scenes enacted by
the Democracy of Gold Hill, yesterday,
We most d~evoutly thank God that it has
never been our lot to witness. The
slums, alleys, brothels, dead-falls and
robbers'-roosts Of our ueighboring city
Of Virginia were searched for the basest,
most reckless, most desperate OF thoir
denizcns, and these were bought rs you
would buy their bulldog prototypes, ut
prices graduated according to their bru.
tishuess and ferocity. We have every
reason to believe, and do not for a mo-
ment doubt, that these hounds were
bought with the money and brought
here at the instiga;ion Of men asking for
positions as high, honorable aud re-
sponsible as any in tho nation. Yes,
with n full knowledge Of tho reckless
brutality Of their tools; with carnage,
riotiug and murder among the reasona-
BILE probabilities of their action, the
leaders Of the Democratic party hired
q band Of as damnable desperadoes as
ever stretched u rope to invade our
town, for the purpase of iutimi-
dating, maltrcating, yes, numbering
if necessary, peaceable and orderly
citizens in the exercise Of the
right Of suffrage. Respectable and
respected citizens were knocked
down and cruelty maltreated /; the off,
GERS Of the law were surrounded and
overcome by overwhelming force the
fury Of wild beasts found vent in yells
and actions that would have shamsd an
untamed hyena, and men claiming to
be worthy Of the confidence and supper,
Of a l~aw-abiding, ordcr-loving people
gloriied in and gloated over the spec
tacle And in what name, think you,
was all this diabolism pcrpetrated I
Great God it was the intelligent effort
Of the "superior" the "ruling race" the
fai~r.skinned inheritors Of Japhet's right
to rule-their effort to maintain a
"rhitc mans Government p" Yes sirs,
these noble Caucasiaus with predomi-
nantly cerebellic brains ; these mon
strous satires on tho genus apis, were
engaged in a herculean effort to ire
store the purer and better days Of the
Republic |" They maintain a white
mans Government? A decent, respect
able negro their inferior? Why, a gang
Of gorillas or q colony of kangaroos
would be quite as fit for self-govern-
meut AS these men show themselves
to be.
In spite of all the muscle, all the
money, all the knives, pistols and other
stools" of the glorious Democracy,
the kinky-headed, nigger-worshipping,
Chinese-loving, miscegeuationist Adolf
tionists voted according to their conyic-
,ions and won the fght-respectably
and manfully won it. There may have
been, and probably were, some quiet,
timid men who staid away from the
polls through fear, or were cowed into
voting against their convictions, but we
won all the ground fought Tornado a
clean sweep-elected every man on our
ticket, and captured a position from
which We command the great battle
field Of November, and will roll up a
cool three hundred majority!
