racv i'll Congress have invited the Republican
party to reunite, abandon all rivalries and dis
sentions and meet it, once more within the
power If the Potter resolutions mean any
thing they mean just this.
Ii there is, as we believe, still existing in
Nevada forceful purpose upon the part of a
majority of its citizons to preserve to the IN
ION the fruits of its victories over the slave
holders rebellion; if, as we also believe there
has come general arousing of the party from
its dreams and vagaries and a determination

.hcn is there ground for hope for restoration
# tie partys power within the borders Of the
state. That power has not been within the
grasp of the Republicans of Nevada since the
election of 1870
The election which resulted i'll the elevation
10 the Governorship of Major L. r. Bradley,
witnessed not only the defeat of the Republi-
can PARTY but the discomforture of the mod
crate and patriotic wing of the Democracy.
Bradley is not only an open and avowed sym
iathiser with the confederacy, but his admin
.stration is undisguisedly conducive to the
perpctuation of the rule of the so-called
"ohjralry' faction of his party
Some months ago, in discussing the United
States Senatorship which is to be flled by the
next Legislature, the MORNING APPEAL re

senator Jones would be to virtually repudiate
his course concerning the reconciliation of
silver. Undoubtedly this is We suggested.
Would not the reelection of Bradley at this
ia,cture, when the lfe-stirggc Of the Re
puj.jcan Party demands full endorsement
OF ru~ friends in Congress be almost Il direct

made Governor by the votes of disappointed
RrIunioans; notably in Ormsby County.
through the influence and votes Of professed
adarnuts to the party whose allegiance to-

is like to be the prey of designing politicians.
Also they affect to believe that large proper
ton Of the Republicans of the State will sup
port him.
Here then is the issue: Is the Republican
party ready to prove itself united, strong and
loyal! Will it stand by its colors, or will
ooourh of its professed adherents give such
aid ana comfort to the enemy as to cause the |
events Of 1870 and 1874 to be repeated
We have singled out Bradley because he
not only represents the dominant (or chivalry) !
wing of his party, but because he has hitherto |
been able to take with him enough self-styled |
Republicans to defeat our partys purposes.
The matters to which we have invited the |
consideration of our readers must inevitably |
be dealt with before the pending canvass is
ended Even now it is folly not to discuss
them openly and freely, If the Republican
party Of Nevada exists as an organization held .
by principle and looking to the safety and wei
fare If the Republic, it will, at this iuncture,
when all factions ought to unite against the
common enemy, stand true to itself and its
nouIiuees. If it does not 50 exist it viii go

rest The campaign of this year is to involve
two things, First to secure the House of Rep
resentatives in Congress against the Democ-
racy, they already being assured of majority
in the Senate after the 4th of March 1879.
The second and still more important matter
il the preparation for the National struggle of
1850. Then the question will be, National or
Confederate Rule. There can be no mistak-
ing OF this issue, Bradley and any other
Democrat who may be nominated to office in
This state will represent Confederate rule
Any Republican who, from any cause what

stand with Potter and his allies and coadju- l
