The Election.

| Inc 6lec1ou
Before we so to press again the election will
be over, and this great struggle to redeem the
State from the thraldom of selfish. unscrupu-
lous politicians will be terminated. What the
result may be no man can determine until the
vote is counted; but the political indications
point to great and sweeping change. The
eastern counties are unquestionably Demo-
cratic; the western counties are mostly so.
The subsidized Radical stronghold on Mt
Davidson has lost its impenetrable front.
Storey county.is at last in open rebellion
against the tricksters who have long ruled il.
The people are satisfied that if the Radical
ticket, be elected the introduction of Chinese
into the mines on the Comstock will certainly
follow; and with that introduction comes the
ruin of Virginia city and all the thousand
forms Of industry aud trade which are asso-
ciated with the life and wealth of American
citizens. 1t is believed OH good foundation
that one leading object now in view is to OBJ
tain possession of the Governors chair, that,
if necessary the militia and the entire power
of the State may be called out to crush the
miners opposition to the introduction Of the
Chinese into the mining claims. 1t is believed
that the Ring" if it can carry the Legisla-
ture, designs to use that body to aid by legis-
ton in this infamous work. 1t is believed,
and is not denied, that an effort will be made
to release the bondsmen on the late defauting
State Treasurer, which includes several of the
leading spirits of the Ring" 1t is believed
that huge job has been put up to obtain
possession of the Gould X Curry mill for GER
tain State purposes. 1t is believed that a bill
to issue additional county bonds to the holders
of the Virginia and Truckee railroad will be
forced through the Legislature, if that body
can be made up of men who are within the
influence of the Ring. masters" All these
projects and many more of the same sort are
on foot to provide plumber for the select cir
Gle which rules the State-rules il not only
politically but judicially and financially,
through silent but potent influences extending
throughout the State. 1t is high time this
clique, one of the most corrupt combinations
ever formed in any country, was broken up,
and an honest man placed at the head of the
State administration. Such IL man We have
in the person of Major Bradley, and such n
man We have found as our candidate for rep
resentative in tae Federal Congress. All that
it now requires is "a strong pull, a long
pull, and phil altogether"
The same may be said OF this county. 1t
is Democratic in sentiment and if every one
who sincerely desires a different condition of
affairs will earnestly 60 TO work to redeem the
county, it can and will be done. The county
ticket, taken altogether is good one. 1t is
composed of reliable men and true Demo.
Gratis. BY an united effort every man of them
can be elected.

County Commissioners.

This office is the most important one to be
filed at this election. The Commissioners
have to great extent the financial control of
the county. At this time it is very important
that this Office should be filled with men of
integrity and ability. Three better men for
the position could not be found than Messrs.
Buiterfield, Sears and Marks. Butterfeld has
had experience in this Office before and thor
oughly understands the intricacies of county
business. He is hard working farmer, we'll
known and respected. Mr.. Sears, of Mineral
Hill, is one of the most popular and influen-
tial citizens of the county. He is a miner in
business and an active man. He will receive
nearly the entire vote of Mineral Hill. Mr..
Marks is well-known citizen of Elko, in the
mercantile business, deservedly popular, and
posted in the machinery of the county gov
eminent. These three gentlemen will make q
strong Board of Commissioners, and they
should receive the undivided support of every
man who wishes we'll of the county.

TOWNSHIP OFPIcgEs.--Both parties have
made good nominations for the offices of Jus.
tice of the Peace and Constable of Elko. In
Col. Stafford We recognize gentleman of
culture and ability, who would make nm ex-
cellent Justice. J. r. Cook is his Democratic
competitor, and there is no better man in the
community. He is q hark-working, honest,
straightforward man-'the noblest work of
God" He has had considerable to do at diff
ferent periods in civil business, and is well
qualified for the position of Justice. Reliable,
intelligent and honest, he will make an unex.
ceptional officer. For Constables, G.. NJ.
Banks and J. Meadowcraft are candidates.
Socially, the Republican candidate is clever
gentleman. but it must be admitted that as an
executive officer Mr. Banks has no superior
and few equals. Banks is an experienced
policeman, educated to the profession, for
merly served on the guard at the State Prison
of California, and IN the experimenting of
the Oregon Penitentiary. This experience is
valuable to an officer alert to detect the faces
"t suspicious or dangerous men. Banks has
kept good watch over this town, and the peo-
pie, irrespective of party, should see that
Elko does not throw OFF, on him.
