A PRETTY FIGHT As IT STANDS.
From the Enterprise, Sept. 9th.l

lfrOm the Enterprise, sept. Sth.
There seem to be more "Indepcnd-
cnt Storey County Central Commit
tees" in existence than there were
RichlnOnds in the brain Of Gloster on
Bosworth field. A week ago one of
these committees issued q stirring adj
dress in the name of the independent
party of Storey county and the State.
And now we have a formal proclama-
ton from another of the independent
Central Committees of the county, in
which the authors OF that address are
denounced as usurpers. Thus far the
fight seems to be between McCutchan
and Elliott-two doughty reformers,
who, if united, would doubtless be
able to revOlutioniZe the State. But
there can be but one sun in the heav-
ems, and two such renowned leaders
as Elliott and McCutchan can not di-
vide the honors Of Independent diiec-
tion in this county. The McCutclian
committee first repudiated Elliott and
indorsed Sutro, with Il visible inclina-
ton in favor of General Williams. The
Elliott committee now kick McCutch-
an and his friends out ofthe Independ-
ent wigwam, and indOrse Governor
Bradley. They also repudiate the Uuit-
ed States mails as means of safe
iIdHSEOTtatiOls anu pidy So iidiy
more fantastic political tricks before
high Heaven, that we do not see how
we can wei! avoid giving tho pronun-
ciamen:O in full: al d here it is:
Proceedings of the storey County
Independent Central Committee.
At meeting of the Storey County
Independent Central Committee, held
at their rooms, in the City of Virginia,
Sn,,t,n,I,nr 4
Resoircd, That, whereas NJ. J. Nc
Cutchan and W. G. Orrick have issued
over their signatures, respectively as
Chairman and Secretary, an address
purporting to be '.by order of tie Com
nittcc on Organization" and
Whereas, Said address, in our opin-
ion, shows ito have been issued either
as the Chairman and Secretary of the
Storey County independent Central
Committee, or as Chairman and See
retary of some new Independent Or
ganiZation; and
Whereas, Said address was issued
without authority from the Indepen-
dent Central Committee of Storey
County; therefore
Res0ired, That we do herbv declare
the positions OF said NJ. J. McCutchan
and w. q. Orrick, as Chairman and
Secretary of the In dependent Central
Committee OF Storey Coun'y, vacant,
and proceed to fill the same. And
Whereas, John Miller and \. B. FL
liott have been wron-tiIlly charged by
some Of the local press of this county
as not being worthy of the secrets of
the independent party of this State;
therefore il is hereby
Resoircd, BY the Storey County In
dependent Central Committee, that
Jonn Miller and A. B. Elliott he, and
are elected, respectively, permanent
Chairman and Secretary of the indie
pendent Central Committee of Storey
county.
1t was further Rcso'rcI. That this
committee request ALL persons cores
ionding with the independent Central
Committee of Storey county 20 patron
izc Wells, Fargo & COS Express, for
that is. in our opinion, the only guar
ante for the delivery of such cores
pondence.
1t was further Rcsolrcd. That the IN
rpy county approve the administration
"f Governer Bradley, and indor>e him
as their candidate for Governor at the
next November election.
JOHN MILLER, Chairman.
\. +. ELL.Iorr, Secretary.
Can broadest hlrlcSuuc o'ertop in
al'surdity this pigmy warfare of pre-
ientous front? The chances are that
the four or five persons named III this
Elliott proclamation constitute Il very
considerable portion of the numerical
strength of the factions they assume to
represents; and vet they talk as if they
had armies with banners at their
backs! Is it not about time to ring
town the green curtain on this indie
