FEALTY TO PARTY.

Under the above caption the Sill
yer State says:
The Austin Reveille seems to ia
vor the application of the party
lash and compel Republicans to
vote the whole ticket or be read out
of the party without hope of office
or reward. 1t says ono man has
been suggested as q delegate to the
National Republican Convention
who at the last general election is
said to have voted for more Demo
Gratis than Republicans, and it puts
the question squarely by asking'1s
such a man good stuff to represent
q party that he threw off on?'
We certainly hold that such a
man is net fit to go to the National
Convention or receive any reward
whatever from the hands Of his
party. There is class of men,
and We regret to say they are very
numerous in the'Republican party,
who when any allusion is made to
party fealty. like to whine about
the party whip and pirate of their
independence. Most Of these fell
lows simply want an excuse to
throw the meanest kind of dirt
upon the party simply because
they are not allowed for ever to
hold preferred mortgage upon the
party and its work. When every
thing goes their way they are good
Republicans; when they can put all
of their relations on the ticket they
howl for party fealty and want ev-
erybody to fall in line; when how
ever, everything is not just as they
would have ii, the least mention of
party fealty or party discipline
brings forth from them the talk
that no man alive can crack the
party lash over their free and indie
pendent backs. Trace these mems
political antecedents and you will
as rule find that their expressions
of opinion are not the views of
independents just thinking men, but
the cowardly voices of white
livered, squealing, ha'f-breed pigs
whose fore-leg5 have temporarily
slipped off the edge of the swill
trough and the instant they get them
back their miserable wall changes to
the self satisfied grunt that por-
ker gives forth when his chops
laps the swill and his jowls swell
with it. Most of all a man who
has ever received honors at q par
tvs hands should as matter of de-
cency respect the organization OF
the party as it was then, to see that
as far as his individual efforts goes
il is just as we'll organized now.
Whenever a man who is indebted to
the party thinks of skulking and
back his support let him
reflect where he would have landed
had Jones, Smith and Brown
skulked when he was running for
office. It is party organization
that wins party victories. Suppose
a soldier in the army was COM
manded to advance upon redoubt
and turned about with the remark:
No General in this army can
crack the military lash over me-.
Such a fellow would be quietly led
to the rear and shot. Without or
ganization an army would be simp- |
~ a swarm of tramps and certain of |
defeat; and political party who |
cannot enforce discipline will be |
certain to go to the wall. In the
last State campaign men who ought
% have been in better business
snapped off the party and made dis
graceful trades with the Demo
Gratis, which gave US Democratic
governor and gave the people of
Nevada the worst and least deserv-
ng executive officer it ever had.
These traitors are spotted and if the
ash of party discipline cannot be
aid we'll over their backs, the Re
publican party of Nevada had bet
Ter reorganize and place men in
who know how to use
