We find this comparison Of the recttds
Of the Republican and Democratic
parties In the columns Of an exchange.
II should be read and pondersd over by
every true lover Of his country and its
institutions. The issue in Nevada Ia
bstween these two parties. It is an
issue vital and unavoidable. It is Re.
publican or Democratic representation
in our National Legislature and Repub-
lican or Democratic State sdministra-
ton. For ounslf we want no rulsrship
Of s1-sscsssionists; We want no legisls-
ton from States Rights Democrats;
We have most positive objection to plao-
ing in the National Legislature any man
educated in the teachings Of Calhoun.
We are afraid 70 trust this Government
to such hands We have had enough Of
its dire effects. Read the following
comparison and then say II any we'll
wisher Of his country can safely vote the
Democratic ticket:
The Republican party opposed the
| doctrine Of secession. The Democratic
party favored II.
The Republican party saved the nation
from destruction. The Democratic par
ty plotted with public enemies for its
overthrow.
Tho Republican party raised the
means and men to defend the nation.
The Democratic party did all IL could to
discourage both.
The Republican party gave the coun-
try q national currency. The Demo-
cratic party opposed u.
The Republican party gave to actual
settlers free homestead. The Demo
cratic party fought hard TO prevent It.
The Republican party made possible
the Pacific railroad. The Democratic
party tried TO prevent its building.
The Republican party believes In q
wise system OF internal improvements.
The Democratic party is opposed TO II.
The Republican party abolished
slavery. The Democratic party fought
hard TO save II.
The Republican party has protected
the interest Of labor. The Democratic
party has exposed Il to injury.
The Republican party believes in the
protection Of American citizens in the
full enjoyment Of every constitutional
right. Tho Democratic party believes
that Government has no right to eIsr-
else ita authority for the protection oil
citizenship within the limits Of . State.
The Republican party believes In free
dom Of speech. freedom Of opinion, q
free press and o FREQ ballot. The Dem
ecratic party believes in according this
freedom IL used in its behalf. but denies
II when opposed to its influence.
The Republican party has been tried
for the past thirteen years by the sevsrsst
test ever applied TO q party, and stands
to-day as true to the cause OF liberty and
humanity o. whom II came into power in
1861. The Democratic party has been
tried in q few States. and has been found
wanting in the essential elements oil
prosperity, loyalty, honesty and ability.
In q word. tho Republican party be-
lisves in progression. and is pledged to
the elevation Of the nation by the elsva-
ton OF its citizens. II Is opposed to
prescription, persecution, bigotry. Its
creed Is the greatest individual freedom
compatible with tho safety Of the Re.
public. Liberal in its principles, hu.
name in its measures. thoroughly loyal
in all its purposes. and firm in its 70.
solves to maintain the Union at all
hazards and any cost. II stands before
the world the enemy Of wrong. the friend
OF justice. the protector Of the weak,
the patron OF labor, the great defender
Of q nations honor, and the trusted
guardian Of the liberties Of the people.
Contrast the two records; weigh the acts
Of both parties; test them by the true
standard Of honesty and patriotism. and
then ask the question: Which OF the
two parties should receive the support
of n loyal people?
