KEEP it before the people, that their
future independence. the means Of earn
ing q support for themselves and fami-
lies, and even the freedom of speech, de-
ponds upon the result of the ensuing
election. For if Mr.. Sharon can carry
the election by the corrupt use Of money.
the business men and working men of
Storey county will have either to bend
the knee at his royal bidding, or emigrate
to another State.-l Virg. Chronicle, D.
You don't say. What terrible event
that will be if Sharon is elected; things
will all go by the board, won't they9
while all the people of Nevada will be
the cringing serfs of King Bill. Poor
Williams. We are sorry for him, for we
know how bad he feels when he happens
to make sorry bargain. The confding
soul having crept out Of the narrow crew
ice in the mental and moral glacier, in
which he has so long hibernated, has a
shivering desire to become Senator. Re-
volying this idea in the chilly crevasses
OF his arctic mind, he decided that he
needed newspaper. an organ to praise
him Ia fearful undertaking. and decry
Sharon. After much frost-numbed hest
tation and freezing to twenty dollar
pieces, he made the plunge and pur-
chased the Virginia Chronicle. After
making all this expenditure, which was
like wrenching body and soul apart, he
for short time congratulated himself on
his venture; but now he must be tearing
his hair and SUGGESTING himself to self
inflicted hagellation; for horror upon

Only think. after investing ten thousand
bright, shining, glittering, tinkling,
scrumptious scads; all that he gets for
them is a few paragraphs, of which the
extract at the commencement of this arti-
Gle is specimen. We are really sorry
for poor Williams, for he does so bate to
throw his money away. Indeed, throw
ing it away, is no name for the transac-
ton. by which "Wintry Williams" is
forced to take such trash as a quid pro
quo for his fondly loved little ones. Just
think, all "Wintry Williams " newly &C.
quired acquisition can say for him, is
keep it before the people, that if they
dare to exercise the right of suffrage, and
elect whom they please as their represen.
tatives, that they will have to bend their
knee or emigrate." Was ever such be-
sotted, impairment brayngs addressed
to an intelligent people. We will tell the
Chronicle and its icy-souled owner,
"Wintry Williams, that the people of
Storey or any other county in this State,
do not and never will bend the knee to
any living man. They form the freest,
most independent community on the
face of the earth. The man who under.
takes to intimidate and coerce the citi-
zens of Nevada, will engage in q task
that will end in his own destruction.
The mere assertion Of the Chronicle,
that the people of Nevada have TO
obey the beck and bidding of any man
is an insult, an impertinence, an out
rage that can never be excused on the
ground of ignorance or the utter hope
lessness of the cause that the Chronicle
advocates. Spite of the insolent babble
OF the Chronicle, the independence OF
the people of this State, the means of
earning their support, their freedom of
speech, nor any other of their rights and
liberties does not depend upon electing
this or that man. Even if Wintry Will
liams, through some unfortunate dispen-
sation, depressed the temperature of the
United States Senate Chamber by his
refrigerating presence, he would not
dare to lay his hand upon the ark of
