- the peupl- Of NeyAda. We cal. upon the iu-
t-Iieent miners OF Nevada. and upon all ther
~citizeus of the State, regardless OF partisan
preferences, 10 exDress at the ballot box their
condemnation of this party, which has proved
itself to be their most dangerous enemy, aud

We poiut to the feet thst the passage OF
this Act Of partial reref was b tterly and
vigorously opposed by 8 large msJ'rity

leaders If that party. We further charge that
siuce the pssssg- Of that Act the efforts OF
Republican Judge sDd of other Federal ON
cisls. have been dIree ed either 70 It's sosoiute
or practical nulifcstion. We are 1 favor of
continuing in strict force and execution the
present law Of Congress excluding Chimes

We hold that the trzfif should be so sdju ted

the burfen of duties shou d lie laid chiefly
upon the Injuries of life, and as lightly a.

and whose loyalty to the csuse Of Democracy
We know to be "a spirited and as earnest as our
