ouR COUNTY.

Have you heard from Storey county ,
Has the news reached you that here.
where the power and influence OF Ne
yada c-ntsrs, John Henry Kinksad has
a majority OF 72s yotesf that II. NJ.
Dassvtt is elected to Congress BY q ma
jority Of $50 2 and that plucky Harry
Mishels, with all he had to contend
against, has beaten his opponent In the
race by 20 PAGES? This Is the glad
tidinss which greets the Republicans Of
Nevada to day. There Is nutrment
enough in the news TO sustain Us for tho
next two years at all events. aud at the
end OF that time we shall have strength
enough to make q new fight with won
deriul vigor. A Republicans, We are
proud OF Storey county, as We are proud
Of our State. We have wheeled Ne
vada into line for ths defense OF the
na,ion-not as they call 1t. bu, as 1t is
and we have placed Storey in the front
ranks as the banner county. This Is
glorious work. and We are justified in
the enthusiasm which is to-day yelling
up in every Republican soul.
Our legislative ticket has run far
ahead OF the general State ticket. the
majorit les ranging from four hundred to
upwards OF q thousand votes. This was
to be expected. In the contest for the
Legislature the Silver bill was on trial.
and IL was not to be supposed that
Storey county would repudiste the meas
ure viii Oh makes money out OF her main
product. Hon. John +. Jones was a
candidate for r~s-elscti On a. Senator OF
the United States. II would have been
an insult to the intelligence o, this peo-
pie to imagine for an instant that they
would forget the services OF their sena'
tor in the States behalf. and refuse to
recognize his claims 10 their substantial
graft uds. The moment the Democracy
pledged their nominees to oppose Sens-
tor Jones they condemned their legisla-
tive ticket to certain defeat. Hundreds
OF Democrats voted for the Republican
candidates because they were too good
citizens 10 endorse any man who was
pledged to defeat Senator Jones.
The entire county ticket has been
elected. with but one exception. ID. ID.
Donovan has beaten Fred West for Con-
stable OF Gold Hill by a small majority.
The dsiea, is one Of which our candidate
need not be ashamed. His successful
opponent IL one Of the most popular
men in Gold Hill, and dessrvedly so.
and that Mr.. West ran him so close a
race Is in the nature Of n grea, compli-
ment to himself. There are few
men among us who could have
polled so heavy a vote against Donovan
as Fred West has done. There is no
politics in the Office. and for that reason
our candidate had to make his fight
alone. lie could draw but very little. II
any. aid from the general strength OF his
ticket. Under these circumstances he
developed n strength which Is remark
ably catering to himself personally.
aud creditable to tho party which sup
ported him.
For the next two years. then. 1t is set.
tied that Republicans are to rule this
county. Whether Our power Is to come
to an end at the expiration OF that pc
Rod. 1t will be for ourselves to say. The
officers whom We have elected are oil
honest aud competent men, aud they
hold the fate Of their party in Storey
county in their keeping. II they show
a commendable desire to work faithfully
Tor the best interests Of our citizens, as
we are confident that they will. they will
increase the trust which the people have
expressed in them by their votes in this
election. and two years from now We can
enter the contest with confidence. and
leave it with success. There is no rsa-
son why this glorious victory should not
be made the beginning OF a long season
OF Republican supremacy, and We sin.
cerely believe tina, ii will be so made.
