ms DEnoCRarIc NEW DEAL.

ann II
The returns from all parts OF the
State indicate a sweeping triumph Tor
the Democracy. and Nevada must be
surrendered to their tender mercies for
the nex. two years OF least. The De-
mocracy have carried the State before to
Q certain extent. even to eleetiug . Gov
ernor twice. and q Congressman. but
they never carried the electoral ticket
before, or secured q United States Sen.
ator. Nevada and New Jersey take .
back seat together. all the rest Of the
proud sistsrhood OF States outside Of
the Solid South being sound and true.
Twice In the brief history Of this
State has the Republican party made .
clean sweep Of Storey county as IL did
two years ago. capturing each ard every
county and township Office with the eI-
csption Of Constable for Gold Hill. but
now IL 10 almost as clean Q sweep the
other way. the Republicans elec'ing the
Sheriff by q mere scratch, and the JUS
ties Of the Peace and Constable in Gold
Hill. American Flat claims precedence
this time as the loyal stronghold. giving
msjorities for the Republican Prssidsn.
tial Electors. Congressman and Legis-
laturs.
This state Of affairs In Nevada 10 not
at all natural; IL Is q decidedly abnormal
condition. and very we'll understood by
all sensible men. The Democracy had
the only sack" in the field. and that
sack was literally used to the best pos
sibls advantage. while the Republicans
were handicapped by the shadoU OF a
sack. the substance being most dstrimsn-
tally lacking. To speak plainly. had
Mr.. Sharon been working in the interest
OF Mr.. Fair be could not possibly have
impedipgly and depressinsly controlled
the Republican party to more decisive
advantage to Mr.. Fair.
But this style Of logic would 60 to
prove what has been charged against
Nevada, that she 10 q ''rotten borough"
controlled by the ''ssck'-ruled BY coin
to vots in any purchased direction.
Has II really been only lack OF the pur-
chasing material on the part Of the De-
mocracy that has allowed Nevada to bsa
Republican State thus far-Nsvada, the
.'bat,ls.born." stci
And now that the Democracy have
succeeded in srasping the reips Of legis-
lativs control in this State for the first
time, 1t IL to be hoped tina. 1t will be .
..chapge" for the better. for they have
been ringing the changes on that word
~''ehangs" long enough. Let them give
asauare demonstration Of their sincerity
and practical ability in this matter. They
will and q goodly supply Of coin in the
State Treasury. and although the hum
ger and deferred lonsings Of many years
Of probation may give them q wild apPs-
lite to start in with. yet they must not
forget the implied promises in the cry
OF fraud and corruption they have con.
s,aptly raised against the Republican
party, and try to do bettsr-to reetify
the very abuses and c%orruptiops they
have 90 long howled about. They are
required to show that their ''chsnse" 10
for the better, or there will have been
NO ben,a, in the change and 1t will not
be found worth repeating.
Although the State Treasury 10 In good
condition at the present time. 1t 10 mere
ly an accumulation from past years Of
prosperity. and the sources Of former
supply have failed. In fact, the princi-
pal source OF treasury revenue 10 in the
hands Of the very man who has now car
ri.d the State for the Democracy. 1t

mythical "baby bonanza in Best i
Bslcher or Hale i Norcross or wherever
they may be. Coll. Deane might per.

Of possible bonanza developments.
But the Democratic Legislature must
moi. lose sight Of the proposition that
they must necessarily improve on Re-
publican ideas Of State economy. They
must not pocket the money in the State
treasury. but eIpend IL to the best posi-
bic advantage. They must study well
the action OF the last Legislature and
how much Of said legislation they have
now to carry out. They have to look to
the ways and means In this matter. II
