rnI DAY BEFORE THE sArrLx.

Within f~orty-sight hours the great
upsn the result Of which the
veal or woe Of this nation depends. will
have been fought and decided. Within
hours the fate Of the Ameri-
can Rspablic will have been scaled. On
Wednesday morning We shall awake TO
aud ourselves the citizens Of . land In
which human rights form the founda-
ton Of government, Of . land favored OF
Heaven and honored and respected Of
men: or Of . land deserted BY the bright
guiding star Of Liberty. which has led 1t
on o. . pillar Of Are BY night and . cloud
by day. till II reached its present proud
position among the nations. The strug-
gls TO take place tomorrow 10 no ordi'
nary one. 1t is . struggle for very s1is-
tsncs. The purposes Of the two CON-
tending armies are clearly defined. and
the most ignorant can read and under
stand them. II is the old fight between
loyalty and treason. Disguise IL how
you may: cloths reason in The garb Of
sham REFORM" 10 you please; tho fact
still remains that the old battles OF the
Rebellion are to be fought over again at
the polls tomorrow.
Republicans OF Nevada, remember
this fact when you cast your votes to-
morrow. Let no snssr about "waving
the bloody shirt /" induce you to swsrvs
from your duty n Americans and a.
patriots. We are waving the "bloody
shirt - but Who made the shirt bloody
The very party which now rs,ilss you
for Haunting IL. Who has forced u to
wave II In this campaign The Demo-
cratic party Of the south. aided by their
friends and sympathizers In the North.
When the war sadsd We buried that
shirt out OF sight; buried II. as We
thought. 80 deep that IL could never
again BE- resurrsctsd. All was forgiven
to our Southern enemies, and In course
Of time all might have been forgotten.
But this WA not 10 be. The "bloody
shirt" Was dug up In Louisiana. in
Mississippi. at Hamburger. and all over
the South. and by vhomi The Demo-
cratic party which now Asks you to
stultiiy yourselves BY placing 1t In
power over the country Il would have
ruined. They have rendered Us the
shirt. Have We not q right TO wave III
They have spurned our mercy and our
charity. Have We not . right 10 with

The State Of Nevada has but three
electoral votes for the Presidency. Its
q small number. but In certain eontin.
gsneie. thoso three votes might elect or
defeat Hayes and Wheeler. Let every
Republican voter remember this, and
pass this last day OF the campaign in
earnest. hearty work for the good OF his
party. Many Of YOU left home and
business to fight the Southern rebels In
the field. Surely IL Is not asking too
much Of you to give up n day to
organizing . hght against those same
rebels. who are now trying 10 snatch
from you at the ballot boz all that you
gained by 70 much sacrifice OF life and
treasure. We do not believe that there
is any doubt Of the result In Nevada;
but the rssult can only Be gained by
votes. Many q State has been lost to a
party through ovsr-eonndsncs In ih
success. In this battle We can Afford to
risk nothing. Too much, far too much.
10 at stake. Visit your luksvarm friends
to-day. Reason with them; point out
to them the danger which may follow
their neglect Of duty. and see TO 10 that
they sacrifice the necessary time to-
morrow to cast . vote for Hayes.
Freedom and true Reform.
Democrats Of Nevada. what shall We say
toyou, The majority Of you are honest in
your belief in the principles OF your
party; hut many an honest man has been
led astray BY spscious reasoning. based
ON eunningly devised falsshoods. You
have n day left you in which to OF.
anime the field. retrieve your steps. and
decide TO cast q vote Of which neither
you nor your children will be ashamed
in the future. Use this one day we'll.
Look at your candidate. Compare his
record Of triekery and raseality With
that u Rutherford b. Hayes. Look at
your party. Compare the men who
comprise ii, unrcpentant Southern rob
els and their Northern allies. with the
rank and 6ls Of the Republican orsaniz-
tion-the men Who saved the Union.
the men who have built up for rs . na-
tional credit superior to that Of any na
ton in the world. And then vote a.
your reason and conscience dictates.
II you can. after doing this. cast your
ballc, in favor Of Samuel ]. Tildsn. and
he should unfortunately bs elected. you
can blame no one but yourselves for the
misery which will most surely over
shadow this land as the legitimate con.
sequence OF such an event.
Its the day before the battle. Make
good use OF IL. men Of Nevada. Who
love your country and your eouutry's
institutions.
