Echo. From Ola storey.

In one of the most hotly contested
primary elections ever held on the Pa
ciGc Coast, the friends Of Governor
Bradley carried the great County OF
Storey by an overwhelming majority on
| Friday. last. md the delegation of 80
votes at the State Convention, will be
solid for "0ld Broadhorns. The
spunky little F6odiyht. which has been
a persistent champion OF the people,
thus triunipbantly jubiiates:
We have met the enemy and be is
ours Gold is no longer king. Justice
aud right have triumphed over fraud
and corruption, and our people are
free. Yesterday the people arose in
their might, and with their own unaided
strength, without money or patronage,
achieved most glorious victory over
the hired hosts Of corrupt money oil
garchy. Never again will the Bonanza
firm enter the political arena with
money TO defeat the peoples choice.
The poor mans political rights will
hereafter be respected. No longer will
the miner have 10 secretly vote for the
man Of his choice. Bold and erect, he
will hereafter take his ballot to the polls
and fear not loss Of employment for
expressing his honest sentiments.
Even the Virginia Chroaieie, which
has hitherto ranked as n leading oracle
Of the Anti-Third Terriers. has wheeled
gracefully iuto line and snys: "No man
who was not immensely popular could
haze overcome such powerful opposi.
ton as Bradley contended with yester-
day, and no earthly power can prevent
his being the next Governor OF Nevada.
In the language of the sporting frntern-
ity. lie is a 'three-time winner ..
Aud last, but by no means least,
comes this startling announcement aud
assuring pledge from the Eureka Seasi.
mel Of yesterday:
"a private letter received last night
from Storey couuty supplies the true in-
wardness OF the coming contest in New
ala. We believe implicitly in our in
formation. 1t is from n source We can
not doubt. We have not the space for
au elaborate article on the subject in
this issue of the Sentinel. We shall
have OCCASION TO refer to IL ten thous-

sound the key note of the fight. II may
be briefly stated in substance rs follows:
Jones. the bonanzas. the banks, and
railroads have pooled their issues. A
Jones Legislature means bonanza
Legislature. Likewise il means rail-
road Legislature aud bauK Legislature.
The Same political ngen; is doing the
work for all these interests. We have
the proof as strong rs Holy Writ
aud will produce it. The only Gafety
is in the people rnllying TO the support
OF the Democratic party and ticket The
Republicans, soul and body, have fallen
into the hands Of the corporations. As
hetWeeh thosc grasplng monopOlies and
the people, the Sentinel is for the peo-
pie all the time. And in so far as Gov.
ernor Bradley represents true Democ.
r"cy aud the rights of the people; the
SentiHc! is for him III every stage of the
contest, aud will be the vanguard OF the
in in iblc hosts that nre to rally to the
support Of the Democratic ticket in the
ensuing canvass" .
Ii is already as apparent as the daz.

the time is Ht hand when tho people
will request tho gilded usurpers to step
