NUMSRULL GIVES A "SENn.
OFF, TO HIS FRIENDS.

The Democratic Candidates for
Assessor, Recorder, Treasurer,
District Attorney, School Super
intendent, Surveyor and Com.
missioners Of Storey County.
VIRGINIA, November /.
DEAR TIMEs:-In my last letter I
promised to give you a few more
Storey county political "items."
Here they are:
FOR ASSESSOR
The Democrats named w. n. Dick
son. He is an old resident Of the
Comstock, and for many years had
charge Of the construction of the
Virginia and Gold Hill Water Works.
He will make an efficient official, the
only objection urged against him
being that he is poor man--but
that should DO considered "no crime"
FRED. D. NICHOLS
Is the nominee for County Recorder.
He is the present incumbent, and
70: two years has managed the office
in such a manner az to receive the
hearty Endorsement Of all who came
officially in contact with him. He
was elected by handsome majority,
and not q man who helped place
him in the position had cause to re-
greet 1t as his books make for him a.
clear record as any official need
have, or his consistency require;
and If he is not reelected the people
should not be honestly and faith
fully served for these qualities
would receive no recognition at their
hands.
ALEX. BRIsACHER,
The candidate for Treasurer, is an
old merchant on the Comstock, is
we'll and favorably known to the
business men Of our county, and is
heartily Endorsed by all who know

FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY,
James H. Graham, the nominee, is a
young man Of ability, and a lawyer
Of experience, under whose care the
interests of the county will be faith
fully attended to and the laws of the
land enforced. Crime is best pre-.
vented by the certainty of the pun
ishment which will follow its COM
mission. It is therefore of the ut
most importance that competent
person should be elected Prosecuting
Attorney, and the people will ac-
complish this by electing the Demo-
cratic nominee.
FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATORS
Willard Bitter, ex.Alderman of the
Second Ward of Virginia, is the nomi-
nee. This gentleman has made q
record for himself of which ne may
we'll be proud. Ever present at the
meetings of the Board, during his
term Of Office he faithfully attended
to the interests of the people, neg
Letting his private business to at
tend to city affairs; and If elected to
the position to which he aspires he
will attend to It's duties with equal
fidelity.

The candidate for Superintendent of
Public Schools is an old resident OF
the Comstock. His business has kept
him in constant contact with the
teachers and pupils of our public
schools and has made him familiar
with their needs and necessities. He
Is free from sectarianism, perfectly
competent to fulfil the duties of the
Office, and under his administration
our schools must flourish and pros.
per.
