TWO orfsrfoSs.

tn. notorious attempts Of Adolph sutro
to force upon the mining population Of
tho Pacific Coast an act Of legislation
which would pauperize nine-tenths Of
our mine owners and paralyzs the bust
ness Of prospecting and mining all over
the coast. We call the direct attention
Of Storey county voters, as well a Of all
persons interested in mining pursuits
throughout the State. TO the resolution
adopted by the Republican CONVENTION
OF this county. upon this most impor-
tant subject. The fifth resolution Of
that Convention is as follows:
s. That in the name Of the whole peo-
pie OF Storey county We earnestly de-
nounce the attempt Of the Sutro Tunnel
Company TO destroy the prosperity OF
this county. That in the final compile
ton Of the Sutro Tunnel we apprshsnd
ruin and destruction TO the prosperity Of
the people. We cannot close our eyes
TO the fact that in the ultimate success
Of this iniquitous scheme all property
here must be reduced in value, business
must decline and wages be reduced, en-
failing unmeasured misery and distress
upon this people; and We urgently call
upon all classes OF people in Storey
county, Of whatever business. trade, or
occupation. and aside from any political
bias. to seriously consider the danger to
which they are exposed, . peril which
threatens at oncs their homes, their for
tunes, and the means by which = sup
port for themselves and their families il
furnished. The hopes Of every man In
| this community to better his fortune
hang upon the issue OF this struggle be-
tween property holders on n side and
on the other this ad~vsnturer who, backed
by foreign capital, is seeking by every
possible means TO transfer the earnings
Of years Of toll by this people to his
own private Golfers. To property own
srs and business men the fact must be
apparent that Virginia and Gold Hill are
doomed places II Adolph Sutro and his
coniederates are permitted TO carry ou
their designs; and TO miners and al
laboring nee We particularly appeal to
be mindful Of their own interests in this
matter, for IL has been openly threatened
that a complexion OF the Sutro Tunnel
will force a reduction OF the wages OF
laborsrs TO half the present prices. In
every view Of the matter, except that oi
the PROJECTORS w personal interest,
justice and right loudly demand that the
people Of this community should press
the contest against this common snem,
until success crowns their efforts.
The attitude Of the Republican part,
in this county is one OF uncompromis
ing hostility to this svindler and his in
famous attempts to destroy u propert,
and cast over tho mining interests o
this State and coast. q shadow which
will darken than forever. This we frml,
believe 10 the sentiment OF the Rspubli
can party throughout the State. Or
the contrary. the Democratic party, Il
not openly, has thus far been secretly
working with sutro, and is taeitly com
mittsd to this scheme Of plundsr. Sc
also are the Independents" OF whom
Sutrs claims not emily membership but
leadership. The issue is a vital one to
our people. Shall We send to Congress
and the Senate men secretly or tacitly
committed to the furtherance Of Sutro's
schemes. or shall We send those pledged
to oppose them by all legal means We
have no donbt OF the feelings Of our peo-
pie in this matter. They will support
their own interests and put an effsctual
qui.tus upon sutro and his special lsgis'
lation. viii Gen. Thomas H.. Williams,
. Democratic candidate for U. s.. sena'
tor. publicly define his position upor
this subject mos, important to our pso-
pls2 Dare he do sop Let his latel,
acquired organ, the Dependent, answs
these questions. Is Gen. Thomas Il
Williams in favor OF further Legislation
for Mr.. Sutro's swindle ? Is he opposed
to such legislation? These queries ar
important. Their answer is awaited b,
