THE Issue IN STOREY COUNTY.
Over a week ago Congressman Kendall
charged Tom Williams and the Demo-
cratic managers in Storey county with
having made q compromise not only de-
grading to the party. but dangerous to
the bss. interests OF Storey county.
That charge still remains. II has been
reiterated BY the press, and the organs
OF the degraded parties to the alliance
do not deny its truth. Not ons Of them
dare do 90, for 1t Is q damning fact.
But henchmsn whom Tom Williams has
employed to do hls blowing tall US on
the street. quite privately, that there is
nothing in the charge; that 1t Is a-no
such thing. and that Tom Williams
hates and despises sutro and his swindls
worse than the devil. We say that this
ID whispered in u ears, and those OF
othsrs. every day. II may Be true. IL
may be. that Tom Williams hates MIR.
sutro. But he plainly don't despise
him-oh, mol Else why does not his
organ rspudists the alliance made be-
tween It's master and the great Assyrian.
Why, indeed. was such . barter madep
We call attention to the position OF the
Republican and Democrat parties on
this question. It is a direct issue in
this election, made so BY the trade be-
tween Williams and Sutro. The Re-
publican party has taken ground against
the schemes Of the Assyrian. In its
platform, adopted by its County Con-
vsation. appears a resolution which dis
tinctly shows its opinion upon the rub
jsct. The Republican party Of Storey
county is pledged to oppose the further
NICE Of this scheme to bankrupt our
people. Its speakers everywhere take
advanced ground on this subject. The
Republican party in Storey county and
everywhere throughout the State is anti
tunnel. or any other svindls. SO, un-
til Mr.. Ksndall's speech, had we sup
posed the Democratic party to be pledg-
cd. Net by resolution. il is true, but
by tacit consent amsng Its candidates
fer high and low Office. When sutro's
Virginia City circular. three weeks ago
in an editorial. double loaded. denounc-
Cd Tom Williams in bitter language, We
were confirmed in our belief that the
Democratic party on this vital question
was with Republicans. But for two
weeks not q word has appeared in the
Virginia Chronicle adverse to sutro. We
call attention to this fact. For Two weeks
not a word has appeared in the sutro
Dependent hostile to Gen. Tom VIII
Hams. This il also q fact worthy Of
notice. New add to these two
most significant truths the charge made
by Mr.. Kendall. that an alliance had
been formed between Sutrs and Tom
Williams. and the whole trath appears
at once. That charge Of Rsndall's can
not DO denied. The facts we note above
corrobsrats it fully. The Democratic
party 10 to-day IN league rih Sutro. have
made a bargain with him, and dare
neither to deny its existence or violate
its terms. Wherefore, we say. that the
issue has come TO this. That man whe
acts with and votes for Democratic leg
i~slators on the third day Of November,
votes in Sutro's interests, votes TO con-
firm q bargain made between him and
Tom Williams. Far more than this, ho
votes to bankrupt cur people, to take
work from himself and friends. to re-
ducs wages. to destroy Virginia and
Gold Hill. and to transfer the mines Of
Storey county to the grasp Of men who
never saw them, who have 40 more in
tsrsst in our Government and its pso-
pie than the Emperor Of Russia, who
are subjects OF a foreign power.
whose interests are with the powers to
which they W allegiance; who have no
respect for labor. because, in the
tries they inhabit labor is mol respected;
who, in q word. would grind and crush
the laboring men Of Storey county as
they do those they employ in England
and Gsrmany-as labor is ground down
in every European country.
This is the vital issue in Storey
ty. The Chronicle refuses to discuss 1t,
because Tom Williams dare not oppose
Sutro. The Sutro circular seeks to
svads 1t by bowling about Sharon and
Chinese. Yet the fact stands boldly out
that in the election two weeks from next
Tuesday, he who votes against the Re
publican party votes to aid Mr.. sutro to
pursue his swindls to its inevitable re-
suit; votes against every vital interest OF
Storey county; votes to rspudiate his
best friends heretofore, now, and those
who viii be so in future.
