For County Clerk.

JIG. March, of Carlin, flings his
banner to the breeze to-day as an in
dependent candidate for County
Clerk and Ex-officio Treasurer of
Elko county.
Mr.. March is telegraph operator
by profession and has been in the en-
ploy of the railroad company eleven
years as operator and agent. The
last seven years he has held the re-
sponsible position of agent for the
Southern Pacific company at Carlin
AS agent he was always pleasant and
accommodating and his accounts
were always straight.
Being member of the American
Railway Union, he conceived it to be
his duty to go out on the strike with
the Carlin union in June and conse
quently lost his position with the rail
road company.
Mr.. March is thoroughly competent
to fill the position to which he aspiret
and we bespeak for him q fair con
slderation by the voters of the county
If elected, he will serve the county
faithfully and honestly.

silver Going Up.

LONDON, August 22.-The strength
OF the upward movement of silver
was markedly slown to-day. India
offered bills for 40 laos of rupees.
The market rendered 1s 12-32d per
rupee, an advance of 22-32d over the
last prevailing price
New YORK, August 22.-The drift
OF opinion on Wall street Is that up to
the present time the demand for sill
yer has come from spectators. They
profess to know Of no direct buying
for China, and say in making prices
they entirely follow the London mar
ket. H..t
One prominent bullion broker said
to-days rise was probably assisted by
the introduction in the House yester-
day by johnson of North Dakota of a
bill for the unlimited coinage Of sill.
yer. The demand has not been very
heavy during the past few days, and
there was disposition on the part of
London to deal in futures on silver,
srom which it was concluded that the
purchasing was not for immediate
shipment on buying orders from
China, but rather in expectation of an
advance.
At the New York agency of Hong
kong and Shanghai banking corpora
ton, it was said that after the rise
following the outbreak of the China
Japan war the holders of silver III this
country did not display any anxiety
to sell and the offering by smelters
were very light until TO- day, when they
became very large. The recent CHI
nese loan of 100000 taels equal to
$4,000 in our money, was a silver
loan, but if a large war loan were is
sued it would likely be in gold, and
therefore the Chinese loan should not
necessarily result in advancing the
price of silver. The agency was not a
heavy buyer Of silver just now, and it
was thought perhaps the smelters had
held their product too long.

Boyeottine striker,.

The Silver State says that it ia re-
ported in Winnemucca that the
Southern Pacific company refused to
carry lumber for Truckee company
unless it discharged several A. R.U.
men who were working for it. Also
that the railroad company has declar-
ed a boycott against the Phoenix
Touring mills of Sacramento and will
not haul it's product because the mills
furnished -four to the families of
strikers. 1t remains to be seen if the
laws of the land allow a corporation
to dictate whether or not citizen of
the United States shall make living,
or the power to wreck the business of
a firm or person who happens to in
cur its displeasure. If such is the
case this is not free country, and the
sooner we have an absolute monarchy,

the better.
