TIE KING
CARSON, Jan. Il. 1873,


EDITOR GOLD HILL News: The all
question now is: Will
some one step into the breach and save
the State? Is there no true Repub-
llcan, some man who has the ability
and patriotism to stand out boldly and
proclaim himself the champion of the
people of this great Silver State? a
man on whom this sorely-tried people
can rely to represent them In the halls
Of Congress? Is this State, whose cit
liens claim to be the most independent
Of independent America, sunk so low
that her strong sons of toll are to be
bound hand and foot BY the chains Of
q mere money king? Is 1t true that
the gold notes Of n man, raised BY
chance to the rank Of a millionaire,
have the power to place him In q po-
sition. the occupancy of which will
give him the opportunity to ruin the
State Of Nevada? Is 1t for this that
the people have fought o monopoly
that, to say the least, has done much
towards the improvement Of the State
in the development Of her mineral re-
sources, because they were under the
impression that the power Of that mo-
nopoly was too great to be safely
trusted? Is 1t for this that two years
since an honorable gentleman was de-
feated for the position of Governor OF
tho State, on the supposition that he
was a member OF the ring that for the
time was obnoxious to the people?
We pause for and fear to listen to the
replies to these queries.
Stewart has been blamed rs not
properly representing the State Of Ne
vada Nye has been abused as q bad
representative, but Nye has been true
to party, II no more, and cannot be
termed a money king; neither has
coin nor stock elected him.
Fealty to party Is all the talk just
now. Senator Nye was ever true to
party. Senator Stewart has been true
to party. Both these gentlemen have
supported the Administration and
never sweryed from their allegiance
thereto, and although the coin Of
richer men may have been used to
G their elections, they cannot be
charged with the barefaced outrages
that have been perpetrated to secure
the election oil John p. Jones, the
present aspirant for Senatorial honors.
The Great Bugbears Of the past three
years, viz: the Bank Of California and
Mr.. Sharon sink into innignifcaIce be-
fore the all-powerful presence of the
great Crown Point king. liking Will
liam Is dead, long live King Jones'"
the old monarchical cry.
There seems to be 10 objection to

being an American born, for 1t is well
known that other Englishmen than he
have well and faithfully served the
country OF their adoption, rs witness OF

Thus far the Winter has been any.
thing but severe in this section. There
was nothing unusual in the action Of
the rats. pigs or chipmunks hereabouts
last Fall. to indicate any such extra
ordinarily mild, genial, and almos,
stormless Winter as this has been.
Throughout the Eastern and Western
States, however, the Winter has been
very severe. Then, the sagacious
muskrat was reported to be showing a
disposition to neglect burrowing for
Winter quarters, thus tacitly predict
ly a mild Winter. The muskrat was
badly fooled, and got the worst Of 1t.
His judgment won't do to bet too
much upon hereafter.
