Rally Round the Flag. Boys Come
out and hear Tom Fitch on Monday
evening. He has served the people Of
Nevada faithfully and we'll in the halls
of Congress, and now comes to give an
account of his stewardship to his con-
stituents. Hear him, question him,
YOU that are not satistied-as there are
ALWAYS a few Democrats who are never
satisfied with the action of a Repuoli-
can Representatiye-and see If he can
not give a valid reason for every act
and word of his as n member OF the
House Of Representatives In Congress.
He will do It, too, In terms Of elo-
ouence and with an ability beyond the
capacity of any other man In Nevada,
be he Republican or Democrat. He
will knock the sand from under the
INDEPENDENTS constitutional protection
to Chinese citizenship, and all such
nonsense.
Elko would have been properly
named had it been called "Whirlwind
valley" Every few minutes through
the day-some days-a little twister
starts at the point Of the hill a little
below town, and travels dlagonally
through the center Of town, In the d.
rection of the Smelling Works, gath
ering strength rs 1t goes, and gather
Ing up dust, paper, old rags, rice mats,
and such other rubbish as lies In its
path, and sending them up hundreds
Of feet into the air. Frequently q
dense column of dust looms up like q
mighty giant a hundred feet In hight,
and staggers over housetops, swaying
to and fro as 1t strides across the town,
filling parlors, bed rooms and Kitchens
as it passes, and slamming doors and
window shutters, tears signs from their
fastenings, and makes everything as
d~isagreeable as possible. The whirl-
wind Is q feature of Elko life that we
would gladly dispense with.
Senator Williams and wife, of Ore
gon, were among the distinguished
passengers OH Tuesday mornings train
going west ; also Col. j. X. Harden
berg, of San Francisco, lately ap-
pointed Surveyor General of Calitor-
MIA, and Count somebody, Of the
French diplomatic corps, with his
young wife, daughter of Ben Holli-
day likewise the irrepressible George
Francis Train, and his private Secre-
tary, George I. Bemis, were on board.
Ben Fitch and Charley Perkins have
gone to represent Elko County US
members of the Democratic Central
Committee, which meets In Virginia
City, July 30th.
Leaving Elko at $40 A. NJ, Mr..
Train procured q copy Of the Chronicle
of the 25th, and on his way to Carlin
read our article headed "Pests," In
which Train and old Tom Mooney
were classed as chiefs. On the same
afternoon the train brought us the fol-
lowing note:
MR.. TRAIN AND TIE CHINESE.
OK SLEEPING CAR,
ELKO TO PALISADES,
July 28th, 1870.
DEAR CHRoNICLE-Interviewing and

structive to digestion. Three cheers
