pubtish Ids remarkable article On account OF

eeeded in maintaining its prestige in this
State. ~ CID .a- ~.
N IA Q confession Il has no parallel in poiiti-
cal history. With an audacity which puts
shams itself to bluah. Il riots in its infsmy and
sioriea In in dissrsee. Faisehood and duplie-
lily are exalted a. . virtue. and the confidence Of
fts truest fnends Ii betrayed with the coolaess
Of an iceberg. and their faith and conscience
laughed at and held mp to public scorn. As q
thing Of weakness. eowardiee. and contempt.
1--WE owe this success In Nevada TO politi-
misunderstanding" "we have accomplished
our purpose politically through the aid Of jast
such men as they are. We have kept them
with the party by resorting to all kinds OF
tricksry. We have disguised our real pur-
poses. given them Offices occasionally. and
overawed them By fictitious exhibitions Of
strength"
What n confession is this! This. then. is
the history Of that loyal party. which, claim
ing all the virtue and intelligence Of the State.
has lived upon lie. and fattened on fraud!
Read by the heilish light Of this shameful
confession. We can readily account for that
fearful Generalization which has rotted socie-
ty 70 its heart, made personal and political
honor o thing Of scorn. turned our courts into
mills for grinding the faces Of the poor. and
LEFT the State treasury in admitted default of
platform Of the Republican party, IL fraud and
deception are the real principles which hs=e
kept the party together. Why should 90 won
der that our own county has been made 70
bleed al every porei An admitted lie has
been its strength. and with q lie upon its lips
this party again comes before tho community
asking renewal Of power. Even as il lied
two years ago on the negro question and the
ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment. and
then booted az tie poor niser-,,- as!;:a.
fools which il used and then scornfully
kicked out Of the way, 1. comes again with
Chinese lie in its mouth. looking for more
fools 70 make puppets Of, to boost il into Of
Ace. and feed il with the money Of the worst
taxed and worst plundered people Of any State
In the Union. Let the taI payers lay ii we'll
in their hearts ana memories" The holiness
Of our cause warrants resort to any and
every means Of success" After this plain
declaration, let them not complain IL they
have 10 pay up State drfalcations, and bank
rupt counties. and support shieying officers,
and swindling courts. II any voter with
weak intellect has been simple enough to be-
lieye the professions Of these politicians when
they reyils tho Chinese. let him read the con-
clusion Of that article, and learn what the
standard OF Radical morality Is in the State
Of Nevada. Fraud, corruption, intimidation
these are the three aides de csmp ofthe Radical
party of Nevada. This unhoiy trinity is the
inspiring, controlling power which rules this
State, and lords it over Christian and civil.
ized people! God save that community that
has sunk 30 low that II win ever again clap it's
hands and stamp Its applauding feet over the
triumph Of such q villainous trinity OF evil as
this; eisioh boldly and defsntly mooks hon.
esty. tsnd plea opprobrium upon all that is
decent or honprsbIe among its own support.
