PROCLAMATION OF EMPEROR
NORTON.
General order No. 8.

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, Aug. ~, 1875.
WHEREAS, The legislative tieket o.
my Republican loyal subjects Of Eu.
reka county, in the province Of Ne
vada, is now in the field. and
Whereas, The persons heretofore
designated by me have secured their
nomination by marvellous cunning and
consummate skill in the manipulation
ofthe county convention ;now therefore,
|, Norton the l., Emperor of America,
do issue this general order for the ION.
duct OF the campaign in Eureka
county.
/. 1t is of the utmost importance to
my Royal Highness, as we'll as to the
interests of my beloved subjects in Cal
ifornia, who are paying out their SUBJ
stance, in the way of unjust taxes on
bullion, TO support an unnecessary State
government in Nevada, to secure the
election of the ticket; therefore every
means at hand must be brought into
requisilion to accomplish that object.
1t is therefore ordered that the nomi-
nee for the long term proceed irnmedi-
ately TO Virginia City to procure the
necessary sinews Of war from the " Boz
nanza Kings" to carry on a vigorous
campaign.
And Captain Hubbard, the nominee
for the short term, in whose military
skill l have the utmost confidence, will
lose no time in placing every soldier
under his command in active service,
and he will pay particular attention to
the proper discipline and efficiency of
the troops.
2. Those having in charge the organ
ization of a military company at Ruby
Hill will proceed with all possible dis
patch, and have the company ready
for active service and well drilled be-
fore the day of general election.
3. Major Dennis is hereby removed
from the office of Major, and Captain
Hubbard is hereby promoted to the
chief command at Eureka, in order to
more etfectually carry out the late or
der of my head General, US Grant,
whose headquarters are at Long
Branch; which order will be strictly
enforced, and is made a part Of this
proclamation.
/ place great reliance, like Napoleon
III, on the bravery, fidelity and
strength Of the military, and with its
aid | can accomplish many reforms
for the good of all the people of the
Empire.
4. Although the general result Of the
nominations in Eureka is quite salts
factory, those to whom | intrusted the
management thereof are deserving Of
cenSilre for permitting a colored man
to sit in the convention without post
ing him as to the duties which would
be expected of him, viz: silence. Such
proceedings must not be repeated.
S. IT Mr.. Jones wishes to bore the
Senate for another six years, after his
present term expires, with his inco-
herent ~harrangues on silver, and what
great things it will accomplish for the
country, he is hereby ordered to adj
vance to the long term candidate 5000
trade dollars, to help out Eureka, as
/ am informed they are taken at par
for all demands, public and PRIVATE,
in that portion of my dominion.
6. From and after January l. 1877,
the State government of Nevada will
be abolished for all purposes except the
election Of y. s. Senators. A Legls-
lature will be convened every three
years for the purpose Of their election,
and they will, as heretofore, be chosen
IIOJI dIljOLE tHO "O6itiy iZLCi NJ
California. 1t will be announced at
the proper time by proclamation that
the laws of California will be made APP
plicable to all citizens of Nevada, and
for the return TO their homes of all
those persons in Nevada who assume
to hold State offices.
AS all important affairs connected
with Nevada are conducted by my
subjects in San Francisco, l thought it
useless to longer continue the form OF
a local government between the Sierra
Nevada and Rocky mountain ranges.
And although the coming change will
be scarcely noticeable, ! thought proper
to give this notice so all may govern
themselves accordingly.
NORTON l.,
Emperor of America.
Done at the City of San Francisco, this
