For the last eight years tho Demo-
cratic party has ruled the State of Ne
yada. By tho s1herancc OF Republicans.
We will not say that QUE friends have
been tTeaeheroui TO their party. whom
they deliberately east their votes for
Bradley and against their own nomi'
ness. That would be a harsh statement
OF the case. which /, is possible that the
facts do MOI, Justify. Gov. Bradley
served his first inoffensiye term, and n
great many B'publieaus felt thai he was
deserving Of another a. a reward fo< not
having put Nevada in his pocket AMI
carried her across the Sierra. His Sec
ond election was the combinei result Of
this feeling. and the nomination by the
Republicans Of a ticket in which the
party had bat little confidence. Tho cir.
cumstlnees which excused our party
friends at that timo have no existence
now. and We appeal to the Republicans
Of Nevada to rally around their old
standard next Tuesday. aud elect a man
for Governor who Is identified with the
principles Of their organization ; a man
who b, an apostle Of progression; n man
whom they eau honor AMI respect, aud
who will rslset credit upon the battle
born State.
The claims Of Governor Bradley to n
reelection are before the voters OF
Nevada. We referred to them in detail.
aud We believe not unfairly. last saiur-
day. Il - for the citizeus Of the State
"a compare them with the claims Of John
Henry Kinkeal. the Republican stand
arl.bearer IN this contest. Bradley has
reputation for honesty. Indeed, his
reputation il so high in this respec; that
the Democrats point to him as the Only
honest man in their party. Republicans
do not make this inyidious distinction in
regard TO Mr. Hinkead. We are proud
to believe tina, there are many honest
men in our party ranks tina. W. have
extensive material out OF which TO fash.
ion u worthy Governor. Out Of that
material We have selected Mr.. Kinkead.
Il there a Democrat in the State who
dircs impusa the integrity OF our can
dilitsl II there be. he has not yet
lifted his voice. Ia the score Of ''hon-
esty' Mr.. kinkead stands rs pre-eminent
among all the citizens OF Nevada. as
Governor Bradley does among the self
confessed corrupt men Of his own party.
On this ground. therefore. no Republi.
can can DO justified in DESERVING his
party this Fall, aud supporting Bradley
Ia preference to Kinkead.
Mr.. Kinkead is one Of the pioneers
whose restless feet sought out the wilder.
ness Of sagebrush. and whose strong
arms and willing brains worked TO de-
yclop the ot our State. and
aided In raising her to her present posi-
ton. lie Is a man Of liberal education.
which has qualified him to uphold the
dignity aud the majesty Of the position
to which he aspires. lie is a man whose
humanity is known all over Nevada, and
who has made and kept friends from one
end Of the State to the other. lie bears
about with him no flowing beard to
Haunt in the faces Of loyal citizens as
an evidence OF treason To his country
and its flag. In the days Of the nations
sore trial be was true to the cause OF
freedom and human rights. lie is an
enlightened citizen. capable to rule over
an enlightened State, which is Que quail
i~ieaiion. ut least. which his opponent can
lay no claim to. lie is n gentleman who
will honor the executive chair. II called
to ill IL: who will not disgrace i, by the
slang Of the backwoods and the jarson
Of the corral
Mr.. Kinkead has. since he frat set foot
ON Nevada soil. been an active. enter.
prising. profitable citizen. lie is hon
orably ambitious to rise to the highest
local position in the gift Of the State.
lie has fairly earned the right 10 the
qualification Of this ambition. by a life Of
sterling integrity and active labor for the
best interests OF our State in the past.
His record i such as to give promise OF
an honest and beneficial administration
Of the government. should the people Of
Nevada elevate him TO the Office OF Gov.
cmor. We ask the Republicans Of the
State to carefully compare the claims Of
Mr.. kinkead with those set forth in be-
half Of Bradley. and we feel assured tina,
after the comparison is made. no Re-
publican can do other han vote for the
nominees Of his own party. We ask all
sincere Democrats to consider whether
1t is gooi policy for their own party to
elect a man on a third term platform.
after %denouncins the principle for so
many long yearsl Give Us an expression
Of the honest sentiments Of the people
ON the 9th OF November. aud John
Henry Kinkead will be the next Gov.
ernor Of Nevada.
