A BLAST FROM RUBY HILL.

Under the head of "A Last Appeal" the
Ruby Hill lhining Neus handles the Sena-
torial question:
For the past five weeks one journal, and
only one, on the Pacific Coast has remon-
strated against the election of james Fair 10
the United States Senate. One Journal, and
only one, has patriotically endeavored to
show why ignorance and wealth should not
overshadew intelligence and genius, and that
journal is the Ruby Hill Mining Melcs. Not
a word of remonstrance has been heard from
the lowest lickspitted paper up to the muzzled
Enterprise, and it is now safe to predict that
another 'little man will be sent to Wash.
ngton to represent this State in the Hail
which has only been contaminated by this
coast.
1t is humiliating in the extreme to feel that
true merit in oar midst shall have 10 reward :.
and that any common loafer, by accidental
accumulation OF fortune, shall assist in
framing laws to govern the intelligent masses
he has long been instrumental in defrau ding
What encouragement can We give children
meritorioGs aud studlous chiIdreR-when We
realize this state OF things; that few pounds
of brutal wealth will wipe out their years Of
study, uptightness, honor, integrity ?
The Ncaps Acknowledges that the Demec-
racy have won the battle in this State, but
plainly asks what that party owes James
Fair. Mr.. Fair has lived ON the Comstock
some twelve or fifteen years. ana never until
last fall did he possess the manhood to de-
clare his political principles.
Is he true Democrat?
No.
Is he Republican
No
Whose interests viii he represent
James Fair S, first, last and all the tiae !"
We wish to make one more appeal to the
Democratic legislature and that is: For
Gods sake do not send James Fair to the
United States Senate He possesses not one
qualification TO occupy that exalted station;
the moment that your decision is rendered in
his favor, good men and women will exclaim
"Another little man is in c0ntrol of dog
pound people East will laugh and sneer at
you as being only the miserable tive.cent
tools Of another accident; you have an excel
lent opportunity to set the Republicans an
example worthy Of imitation-that is, send to
the United States Senate a man of intellect,
one of whom Eastern gossips cannot specu-
l., -, l. - II.
trance into refined society.
Iou have several intellectual gentlemen in
your ranks, among whom are men who have
served your party faithfully for many years
For God Almighty;s sake send one of these
gentlemen to the United States Senate and
retain the manhood your Saviour 50 beauti-
fully and heroically bestowed. If you po-
HticallY die, expire with wreath of honor
and glory upon your brow that rone but the
brave should wear.
Wehave repeatedly asked whether you pro
pose to act the Part Of canine and lick the
hand that has abused yoS We hope not
If not sufficient number of your body re-
tains the manhood to reject the dictation Of
James Fair, to vote for him, let US appeal 70
your baser passion; Can you, as Democrats,
vote for a man of whose political principles
you knew nothing Can you vote for man
possessed of millions, and who has not as
much true charity as wharf rat Can you
send to the United States Senate man who
has lived in your midst for years only for
selfish gain, and who has never, to the amount
of quarter of a dollar, improved our Com
mouwealth? Can you vote for man who,
through his lying subsidized newspapers and
diabolical points, has made you and your
friends homeless, has made children orphans
and driven honest women to shame As
God is eur judge, We sincerely believe that if
you send James Fair to the United States
Senate, you are dogs.
