THE INTENSE FEELING IN STOREY
COUNTY AGAINST THE Go
CAL" LEGISLATORS.

! saws:
1t will be seen by an advertisement in this
evenings Chronicle that mass meeting O
citizens has been called for tomorrow eve
ming at National Guard Hall. For the las
few weeks there has been terrible undercur
rent of feeling against the members of the
Storey County delegation who i'll the Legis
lature repudiated the solemn pledges made
by them to the nominating conventions and
the people of the country. Such a feeling OF
contempt and Indignation has not been known
here for years, and the taxpayers and con-
sumers who have been swindet out of their
| rights propose to give vent to their indigna-
ton in a public mass meeting. 1t is pro-
posed to show the people of tne SCae that
this county does not indorse the cause OF its
representatives in Carson, AMI that base and
fragrant betrayas of trust will no5 go unre
buked. 1t is to be hoped that the meeting
will be sober, earnest protest against bri
berry and corruption, and not simply the fren-
zied utterances of mob. A good many
are talking of organizing crowd to
tar and feather the recalctrant members of
the Storey county delegation. This would
be bad move, and in the end would only
cause reaction in favor of the parties thus
prosecuted. 1t is the plain duty of the
Mayor and Chief of Police to prevent any
such unlawful proceedings. The meeting
should be one which will reflect credit on the
people of the Comstock; and whose earnest
and determined action will never be reconsid
cred with regret
THE POPULAR FEELING
Is intense, and it is surprising to hear sober
minded business men denounce the members
who betrayed them.
There's Pete Smith," said one, " the
most rabd anti-rairoad man in Storey
County three months ago. He went round
the streets talking like this: 4 just want a
whack at those id railroads - |
just want little bill as long as my finger
one of those bills that you can't hurt the
force of by amendments-a bill right plump
to the point, bill that'll cinch those cusses
the whelps. " He was put on as Chairman
of the Committee on Corporations, because
CASTOR thought he "dead square on
the railroad question" continued the speaker,
at which there was general laughter.
"Curious how he Topped, wasn't it, put
in another
"Not very strange to those who know
him"
" He says he'll belt the first man in the
nose who intimates that he was bought up.
What will he do with the second fellow,
I wonderl"
''Guess he'll have to lick the whole town. >
''If any of those fellows start to HEX ME
'n-l'll-weIl, I'll buy them off, said an
other, at which there was general laugh.
''Theres that scrub, Tom Lane.
Hes a nice pill.
''The Mechanics Union will take care Of
lim when he comes back.
''Guess he won't show up here"
''Guess he knows enough to light out for
California.
II thought better of Powell, by Jove | did.
oOWells course astUnished me-
''He prides himself on his Revolutionary
took too"
THE Revolution was devil of while
60"
''Did any of EN- come up on the train this
"No, you bet they didn't dare"
81 wouldn't feel as they do for the whole 9
rirginia and Truckee railroad.
They'll come sneaking in over the grade
nd by way of Gold Hill"
awe II send em out by the same road.
1t would require ten columns to report the
rect talk this morning. 1t was in some
aces the only topic of conversation, and some o
len talked freely of hanging, tar and feathers
nd riding the ''fallen" on rails At the same
me there was as much praise for Stewart,
ibson, Schultz, Lyons, Harlow, Hanna, Gas
IN and, in a measure, Fraser, as there were
sarty denunciations for the male AIagdalens.
AT THE DEPOT.
Quite crowd gathered at the depot this
orning expecting to have chance to boot
lie slaves of the sack on their return from r
eir return from the scenes of their crimes 1

luctance to face the community which they
