THE ELKO INDEPENDENT.
WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1870.

IN MExoR1AM.-we miss the chop fallen
countenance of our sometime friend. Col.
Gray, whom, we learn, has departed from this
scene of his combative career to sport for a
term amidst the festivities Of Eastern and
more courtly life. Before leaving he spent
several days cutting out and FASTING up vol
ume of IAN Old Democrats" letters to the
Chronicle, which he intends to present to
Gen Grant aud the heads Of the Departments.
The old gentleman entertains no doubt that
thew will set all Washington alive with ex-
element, and that they will find a conspicu-
Gus place among the State papers filed away
by Secretary Fish; and that the Administration
the executive and Legislative clock to the year
1898 and appoint him Minister ut the Court of
ST. James, or, at least, make him SCALA
wae'' Governor of the State of Georgia.
Should our venerable friend require any ad-
ditional certificates of ability to say less in
any given space than any man on the CONT
nent, we trust his late Radical associates will
properly appreciate the situation and forward
them post-haste and-post-paid.

trial. Mr.. Moch, while at the Springs,

place. The house is fitted up very comforts-
