ONLY A WEEK.

There are but seven days left in which
to do all the work demanded by the pres
ent grave and momentous political sit
nation. The question for each RepubIi-
can to ask himself is. Have 1 done all
in my power to ensure the full strength
Of my party 8 vote at tho polls?" There
is no honest way Of evading this direct
and searching question. Every man has
= neighbor upon whom he may exert an
effective influence. Has this influence
been exerted? Or, will it be exerted?
Remember these things:
The rebels are making their final
struggle.
Shall jeff Davis followers supersede
the army which answered Lincoln's cali
FOR volunteers?
Snail Nevada cast her fourth Electoral
vote for the Lost Cause?
Shall We send to Congress rebel
Colonel who for years was disfranchised
by the iron clad oath?
IL Nevada for the stars and stripes or
the stars and bars?
As our votes are cas-! on mex! Tuesday,

THE IMPORTANCE OF ONE CON
GRESHAM.

The following, which we clip from
the San Francisco Bulletin, will illus
trate to every thinking Republican
the necessity for the ldefeat of Eli:
and the election Of Wren:
Next to the election OF a President
the most important political question
is the character of the next Congress
and especially the composition of the
Lower House. The following was the
political character OF tho House in the
last. or Forty third Congress, and ir
the present, or Forty fourth Congress
torty-third Congress-Republic
1913; Democrats, 81; Liberals, 4; indie
pendents, !.
Forty-fourLh Congress - Republic
cans, 100: Democrats, 81; Liberals, 4;
independents, ;.
Now if the next House were to be
made up of the old members and the
now ones just so far as they have been
elected up to this date, it would stand
thus:
Forty fifth Congress -Republicans,
145: Democrats, Is.
What changes will be made? The
Democrats would have, according to
this showing three majority in the
lower House. The Republicans have
gained in Ohio and Indiana. They
will gain at least two members in Cal
i:ornia !: and they will probably gain
largely in New York and Pcnnsylva-
MIA. II these States are carried for
Hayes the gain in the Congressional
delegation will probably be large
enough to give a majority in the lower
House to the Republicans. The gain
of members of Congress at the recent
election in Indiana was far more i'm
portant to the Republicans than the
gain OF Governor.
If Hayes Is elected there is a strong
probability now that he will have a
strong working ma jority in the Lower
House. It does not follow as a matter
of certainty. But we have shown that
the large ma jori;y of Democratic Mem
bers of Congress, present and elect,
has been reduced to three. There is
no reason to suppose that the Repub-
licanS have made their final gains.
They may lose one or two elections ia
districts where they are strong-as for
instance, in Massachusetts,, where Ben
Butler is running, with Judge Hoar as
an opponent, both Republicans, against
Tarbox, Democrat. But the prospective
gains are far greater than the losses.
II Tilden were to gain an election by 4
bare majority OF electoral votes, and
should find Republican majority in
the Lower House, he would be in the
same position as President Grant is
now, with a Democratic majority in
he House.

A correspondent Of the Silver State
tells the following tale Of courthouse
customs at Austin:
An unusual and exciting occurrence
took place recently at Austin during the
trial Of j. L. Johnson for murder in the
second degree. During the argument of
the case some allusion Of Johnson's at
torney to the character Of the victim Of
the oifense called forth an exhibition OF
rage on the part Of cousin Of the de-

over the railing of the bar and assault

followed, in which the prisoners coun-

Der was the prisoner attorney, and the
attorney forgot for the moment whether
he had been talking to himself or listen
