THE CHAMPION WORKMAN RE-
CEIVES A NOMINATION.

county nave nad their convention anu
placed a ticket in the field. That hard
listed yeoman, that tender guardian
of the interests of his fello " wOrkmen,
Hon. Tom Williams, engineered the
machinery. Toms bronzed hands
and brawny arms have always been
ready to smite down the oppressors OF
the sons of toll, whose boon cOmpan-
ion he is; and we now behold his
stalwart frame standing in the fore
front of the fray asserting the dignity
OF labor and the miserable atrocity of
the coolie system. Being child of
the people as he is, "a bronZed son of
the hoop pole region of kentucky his
every sympathy is with those of his
lowly class; and he has acquired a
faculty for writing resolutions express
sive of the wrongs which capital has
inflicted upon the labor of his hands
that are really touching to read and
reflec; upon. And now he steps before
the people as a champion ofhis brother
toiiers. He is one of the Democratic
nominees for the Assembly in Storey
county; and we are glad to note that
our cotemporary, the Enterprise, prop
erly appreciates his worth. In COM
menting upon thisgifted workingman's
nomination tina: paper justly and feel
ingly says:
The Assembly nominations of the
opposition are suggestive. Among
them we find the name of Gen. Tho>.
II. Williams. This gratities us. The
General has been a faithful worker in
the Democratic ranks since the days
OF jackson. and our personal friend
ship for him prompts Us 10 give eN-
preston to the pleasure we feel in
finding his name III last upon a ticket
OF the party as It's regular nominee.
He has been an aSpirant for the United
states Senate. for the House of Repre-
sen a ives, for Governor of the Safe,
for County Commissioner and for School
Director OF Virginia District; but he
failed in all. and few weeks since
was subjected to the additional hui
initiation OF seeing his name remOrse-
lesSlv stricken from the roll of the
Democratic STATE Central Committee.
The party. however, has made partial
amends for its rather shabby treat
menI of the General. and given him a
place upon the Legislative ticket.
True. he a>pired to sonnet ing higher.
but seat in the Legislature is better
than no, hing. and, should he be elect
ed, he will doubtless fill the office
quite credi.ablv. We understand tina;
he was nominated without much OPP

we expect him to make Il |

delegate from the First Ward express |
the opinion in reference 10 this nomi- |
nation that, when man balted his
hook for whale he should no, stop to
lraw in minnow: but the General is
entitled to something, and whales are
scarce in the democratic waters of Ne
vada. 1t has been intimated that he
will be :. scratched by his own party.
We trust not. Not candidate on the
county ticket will be cleo
ed, and we implore our Democratic
'rierds to pay to the General the COM
