ADVOCATES.
As the campaign progresses, or rather
as the time draws near for the real work
of the campaign to begin, it becomes
more and more apparent that the only
effect Of an Independent organization in
Nevada will be to embarrass the Re-
publican party. draw of its strength and
possibly result in the selection Of q full
set OF Democratic State officials. There
ia 70 sane man at all conversant with
the political situation in this State to-
dsy, who does not know that II Is abso-
lutely impossible for the Independent
party, II such be organized, and a State
ticket nominated, to elect a single man
thereon unless 1t make a trade with
Democrats. In fact, not even the most
sanguine claim even a respectable mi
nority. as compared with the two exist
ing organizations. They say the two
parties are quite evenly balanced in Ne
yads; that a few votes, comparatively,
will turn the scale in favor OF the Dem
ocrats or Republicans; that they have
those few votes, and hold the balance
OF power. This we do not believe.
These are the arguments Of 4 sell-out
club. and nothing more. The malcon-
tents OF Nevada do not hold the balance
Of power. They are dissatisfied Repub-
leans, pledged to any method by which
the party they have left may be defeated

Just what they are doing everywhere. 1t
is done by creating dissatisfaction with
Republican control. slandering its mem
bers, and misrspresenting its officers
and candidates. This alienates the ered-
ulous. The next step is to magnify the
strength Of the new movement, thereby
inducing membership. The third and
last step is to sell out to Democracy.
This will be rs it has been done by lead

Let every Republican. who il not sat

ment and contemplate the situation.
Let him calculate the chances, aud then

government afforded by the Indepen-

Republican rule. Let him recollect that
in the coming campaign the new party,

minority Of our voting population. Let
him also recognize the fact that every
vote against the Republican is given to
the Democratic party. for M Of the two
old parties must win in this campaign.
