rsaE sPEAKERsHIP OF THE As
8EMBLY.

Our Republican friends have tbs making
Of the Spssker Of the coming house Of
Assembly. We may be permitted, though,
70 direct attention TO the rights and wrongs
Of the situation. This will bring any un-
biased mind to the unaltsrable conclusion
that to the Great East belongs the Speaker
ship.
There have been eight sessions Of the
Legislature, and consequently eight Speak
ers under the State Government. Follow
ing n the list, in the order in which they
served: Toxicr, Ferguson, Atkinson,
Banks, Lowery, Bowman, Dovey and
Mighels. OF the eight, four hailed from
Storey, to-wit: Tozier, Ferguson, Atkinson
and Lowery. Dovcy was from Lyon and
Mighels from Ormsby. Banks was a Hum
boldter, and Bowman represented Nye.
II Il thus shown that the Great West has
had six Of the eight Speakers. Banks,
Of Humboldt, can hardly be credited to
Eastern Nevada, as he came from the cen
trail part Of the State. So it follows that
the Great East proper has never had but
ono Speaker. With the single excep-
ZION Of Controller Halleck, the incoming
State Government will all be made up Of
western men. Both Of the United States
Senators and the Congressman claim
Storey a. the base OF their political
operations. Do the people at that end
u tho State demand more? And remem-
Dor that we are not talking as a partisan,
bat in the interest Of decency and fair
play. The equitable thing to do under the
circumstances is to give Eastern Nevada
full onc-half Of all the Legislative posi-
tons. Our section will present o candi-
data for the Spcakership. He deserves,
in common d~ecency, the unanimous sup
port Of the Republican members. His
qualifications rank him more than the peer
q any one named in this connection, and
b i certain to preside with dignity and
im~partiality. Hon. John s. Mayhugh, Of
klko, Il the gentleman to whom we allude.
The fight is between Mayhugh and CASTOR,
Of Storey. Storey, we have shown, has
already had more than her share Of Speak
srs, and besides, she has both Senators,
the member Of Congress, and a number Of
Stste officers, to say nothing Of the War
don Of the State Prison and numerous dep
utyships. All things considered, therefore,
demand for the Great East the Speaker
Of the Assembly, and at least a fair
division Of the lesser billets about the Leg
.islature.

Dangerous counterfeits of the denomin-

he issue of the Merchants National Bank Of
Nav Bedford, Mass, being Of letter A. Feb.

dArGcrou, as3thrir amount is smaller and
consequently will pass the more readily. 1t
will ne we'll % bear in mind that the surest
test for their detection is found in the fact,
That wherever the name Of L. E. Chittenden
appear, as register Of the treasury, and the

such note is a counterfeit. The manner of
'5hovlny' this "dueer' is for parties, dressed
as farmers, to visit small country banks or
stores, and get the bills changed. Beware Of
all such. 1t is not known that these counter
fets have yet arrived in Minnesota, but they
have been detected in Illinois and in Chicago,
AID the probabilities are they will not be
long IN reaching distribution in this region.
Hence arises the necessity for the utmost
caution.
