co TO WORK!

Now is not time for flippant ar gumeDt or listless inactivity in the Democratic party of Nevada coun ty. Earnest work by every true citizen and lover of good govern ment is imperative. Do not sit idly by and "oh, I'll vote right" |" but use your influence in getting yours friends or employees to vote right.
 The opposition is combining and using every effort to defeat us, and unless we do work effectively they may succeed, and all know what will follow-.that the county debt will be greatly increased, perhaps salaries raised, and taxes raised.
 Again we urge-let all Demo crats vote for our nominees. They are all pure and capable men, that will conduct the business of our county economically and correctly. And besides voting yourself for them, induce as many others AS possible to do so. ''Down the con- spirators," the Greenback bosses and Court House ring.

The Democratic party of your county has nominated, and presen, 10 you for your endorsement a can didate foi representative, and also a candidate for each of the county oftices-a list of candidates to which the party can point with pride.
 Each candidate is man of high moral character-well qualified for the office 10 which he aspires, and in every way worthy of your con tidence and support. The party refers with pride to the record of it's county officers made the past two years, and invite an examlna. lion into the same.
 There is one question being dis. cussed by the people and in which great interest is manifeSted-we allude to the question of prohibit ton, of the sale of ardent spirits in the county. This is not political question, and neither party claim ing your snfrages has undertaken to declare itself either in favor of or opposed to it.

STATE SENATOR.

By unanimous vote of the Dis trict Convention, Capt. C. A. Bridewell, of Hope, has been chos- en the Democratic nominee for State Senator. It is a pleasure for the PICAYUNE to support him, for 1t knows full well that Capt Bridewell is honest and compe- tent; also that he is, in every sense of the word, a perfect gentleman. In the past Capt B has rendered the party and the people valuable service, having discharged faith. fully every duty imposed upon him in the last Legislature, and his record is alike creditable to himself and the county he repre- sented there.

is absolutely amazing, when We consider how Greenback leaders hereabouts claim such immutabili- ty of principles for their faction" as Col. Smoote terms the party.
 Now, We submit all of the above "to candid world" We dare Capt. Ansley, Mir. Garland or any of the other Greenback bosses to deny it.
 Is such an unstable party to be trusted? We say no.
 The Greenhack party has not only changed base on the money question, but on other important issues.
 In 1884, it's platform contained this: I've favor a wise revision of the tariff," while in former plat forms it said not a word on this question, and seemed 10 favor a protective high tariff.
 In 1884, its platform was Gin fla vor of suffrage regardless of sex, " thus seeking to place our pure minded women in politics 10 be defiled; in former platforms it did not favor this.
 In 1880, their platform advoca- ted a graduated income tax; in 1884, it did not advocate this.
 So, we now see the utter insta- bility of Greenbackism, as shown in it's platforms.
 On many other important ques- tions, we could show equally as great changes and inconsistency but we have not space this week. will hit lem again some other time
