LETTER FROM THE NORTH END
WHAT "NUMSKULL" SAYS OF
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMI.
NEES in STOREY.

The Candidate for Judge Respected
By All-Sam. Curtis, the Miners
Friend-His Associate q Man Of
Ability-The Nominees for Sher-
III and Clerk.
VIRGINIA, October 25.
DEAR TINES: The day is rapidly
approaching when the American
citizen, in all the glory and pride
possessed by him, will march to the
polls and select his State Govern
ment, and as we near the day can
not restrain the patriotic desire
wherewith my bosom is filled and
must In print give my opinion to my
fellow citizens.
STOREY COUNTS INTEREST.
While national politics affect US,
our county matters touch nearer home.
1t Is said the Republican party of the
State has degenerated into a "Jones
party" with equal justice may the
Republican county ticket be called
the "Gracey ticket" Our people are
growing rapidly tired of having any
one man carrying in his pocket all
the political gifts Of the people.
Now, how can they better give him
a rebuff, and, at the same time, serve
their own interests, than by voting
the Democratic ticket Every man
on that ticket is in every way the
peer of his opponent, and entitled to
the confidence of the people.
JUDGE =. L. AuDE, go
The nominee for District Judge, has
grown gray In the practice of law;
is one of the Oldest residents of the
Comstock; is respected by all who
know him, and If elected will COM
pei the rich to bow in humble
acknowledgment before the law
which affords equal protection to the
poor, and deal open-handed justice
to all.
COLONEL SAN. T. CURTIS.
Everybody knows Sam. Curtis.
Many poor man and suffering fam
lily have felt the relief his bounty
provided. A warm-hearted, open
handed gentleman, ever ready to pro-
vide, as far as his means would per-
nit, relief to suffering humanity.
No miner ever wanted job of work
if he could possibly find place for
him about any mine under his con-
troll. and when election day comes
the people will show that his kind
ness has not been forgotten. Nor is
he aspiring to a position he is not
competent to ill; he Is . man of
education, graduate of the Dublin
University; has pledged his word
(Which is as good as bond) to sup
port the platform of the convention
which nominated him: and that con-
tains everything which the interests
of the people require. What is bet
ter still, he will exercise considerable
influence over his fellow-SenatoIs.
JOHN MCMAHON,
His confrere on the ticket, is a man
of ability; workingman who re-
ceives the highest commentator
from those who know him in Nevada,
as we'll as in California. If elected
he will ably second any effort made
in the interests of the people.
THE ASSEMBLY TICKET
Is not one jot behind the Senatorial
in its merits. The mechanic, the
miner, the merchant and journalist
each and every one Of them finds a
place upon it, thus guaranteeing to
all proper attention and regard for
their interests, and, in point of in.
telligence, never was one equal to ii
placed before the people of Storey
county. In trusting to them their
legislation the people may be sure
they will be served better than they
ever nave Deen IN the past.
FOR SHERIFF A.a
Thomas E. Burke, ex-Preslnent OF
the Miners Union of Gold Hill, il
the nominee. He is a representative
miner-one who will safely guard
the interests of our county. He is
80 we'll known to our people that he
requires no commentator at my
hands. -. D.. 5,....----
GEORGE W. THATCHER

there in Storey county who doesn't
know George, for many years col.
lector of the Virginia and Gold Hill
Water Company9 A man ever hav-
ing an eye to the needy and ever
ready to represent the wants of the
poor to the company; tried, trust
ed and faithful employe, who can
doubt that he will serve the people
with equal fidelity 2
Space forbids me further to par
ticularize in this letter, but I will
add that none on the ticket are one
iota less entitled to the consideration
of thar fallnw cifizans than thoan
