In continuing his address, Goldman
declared that tho issues Of the war
we've closed aud sad: 1--WE want
men who hrc incorrup,ible, aud if
they bo able and energetic, SO much
the better. He declared that the
present Governor of New York was
such IA person.

clarod the people wanted an honor

believed that Grover Cleveland was
such u person.

said that til, Independent movement

defeat him outside Of conventions.
Thomas W. Higginson said that
ho had severed all allegiance for
tho timo being to the party to which
he lad belonged since its birth,
owing to the character of the NOM
inees this year presented.
The Convention adopted an ad-
dress setting forth in substance that
there was really no issue joined be-
tween the two parties, and that Us
Republicans the Independents de-
clare that it is their duty to de-
feat the candidates nominated by
the Republican Convention, Blaine
and Logan, for the reason that they
are not fit to DO President and Vice
President Of the United States.
The Independents made no nomi-
nations. but resolved to support
Cleveland and Hendricks as the only
practicable way of carrying out their
purpose Of defeating Blaine and Lo-

that Congress has passed law au.

to extend the jurisdiction of Justices

aud our Legislature, at its last ses-
sion, pretended to carry this provi.
sion into effect but failed, whether
designed!y or not we can not say.
Its enactment to this effect was in
corporated in bill embracing sew
eral different objects, commonly
called the omnibus bill. These OBJ
jects were not and probably could
not be EN- braced in the title of the
bill. The question has not yet been
brought before the Supreme Court
of the Territory; but we understand
that all Of the judges have expressed
the opinion that the Territorial law
is in violation of the Organic Act and,
therefore, void. The Organic Act
provides that, "To avoid improper
influences which may result from in
termixing in one and the same act

embrace but one object, and that
shall be embraced in the title" The

1urRr certainly has been a bad
rent in tho rules and regulations laid
down by Blaine for the management
Of the Associated Press during the
campaign. 1t is telegraphed that
Senator Beck and Senator Fair agree
that the Democratic Convention was
COMPOSED Of tho brainicst men CT
tho country; that they never saw a
finer nsscmblage of representative
men than that at Chicago where
Cleveland was nominated. Even
Pcndleton and Cockrell are quoted
in favor Of Cleveland. Something is
wrong. Has Blaine lost his glip on
the manager OF the Assoc lated Press?
When jim Blaine's Republicans
met in Chicago and went to hunting
through their grip-sacks for the
different planks to be carpentered
into n platform, they found one on
Prohibition. Steve Elkins pitched
1t into the spittoon. Somehow these
Republicans overlooked the fact that
there are 2S0, 900 prohibitionists in
Ohio. and that the bulk of them are
Republicans who bolt Blaine because
his Convention snubbcd their petit
ton.

The people of Nevada for years
have been denouncing their Legis-
latures for not doing anything to
relieve them from what they desig-
nate the extortions of the Railroad
Companies in the matters Of fares
and freights. They have now an
opportunity Of helping themselves.
A vote for q Constitutional Con-
vention is vote to remove the bar
riers which have heretofore OBJ
structed legislation in that direc-
ton. A vote against it is an admis-
sion upon the part of the voter that
there are no wrongs to be rightcd.
Let no..man uhovotes against Con
stitutional Convention venture ever
again to open his mouth in denun-
citation Of any member of the Leg
islature, who votes against any bill
for the reduction Of fares and
freights.-Times Review.
The above is good sound doctrine
and We hope that every voter will
vote advisedly on this subject. Tho

A special fight will be made by

Charley Martin, the defeated
candidate has been charged with
having made a fusion with Ed
mund James, the Democratic NOM
inee, and although the charge was
made some days ago, neither of
these parties have confronted the
public with denial. IF such a
compact has been made,'it is a VIC
lation of the election law and sub
ject to legal punishment. If such
q combination has besn made the
voters of Ormsby, irrespective OF
party should see that it is net sue
cessful. Charley Martin signed a
pledge to stand by the nominees OF
the convention, and his friends
should bear this fact in mind
Every man who was a candidate at
the primaries is bound both by his
signature and by every principle Of
honor to stand by the ticket, not
only to vote it, bat to work for it.

man Of ability, a man in favor of

represent Nevada in Congress with
honor to himself and credit to his

be . member Of the next Congress
unless slaughtered by his own party.
Republicans, bear in mind that to
elect Democrat to fill the impor-
tant position of Congressman is to
elect man to vote and act against the
principles which you profess. Re-
member that the Democratic party
is the friend of free trade, and pro-
pose by such a law to build up an
aristocracy in this country to equal
that of G reat Britain, and by so do
