Such is recital Of the infamous deeds of
tho once honored party. which the lofty and
Immortal sumner. Seward and Chase and
Greeley and Phillips aid Adams organized
and led TO victory, and which they and each
of them abandoned and spurned more than
twenty years ago; which to-day. corrupted
and cishonored, and recreant to every prin-
chile which made IL glorious, has fallen I'M
der the degenerate leadership OF Tom Reed.
Mat Quay and BLOCKS Of Five" Dudley. and
a LOT OF bosses, moncy-bags and mounte-
banks too contemplate to mention.
The FORCE BILL.
We denouncc and condemn the Republican
majority In tho national House OF hepresen-
tatives for the passage Of the infamous Foree
bill. BY which that majority, masqueradlng
under the guise Of a free ballot and fair count,
seeks to perpetuate itself In power by insici-
ously destroying the liberties OF American
citizens, usurping the legitimate functions Of
machinery into intermediate conflict and
collision with the statutory rights OF the
Deople of the various c0mmonwealIns OF
the Union. We hold that this species of
Federal interference with tne pe9pie IN me
potic and centralizing In Its tendencies; dan
rerons to the liberty, peace and prosperity
of the people; and direct contravention OF
the principles Of tree government rs De
oueathed to us by the trainers of The Consii-
fution For these crimes the Republican
party of the State is In part responsible and
wholly responsible for greater legal Ofenses.
THE STATE GOVERNMENT.
The Repn blican party OF this State began
it's career of dishonor and ruin In 1874, when
our wealth and population were more than
double what they are to-day, when orr yet
undeveloped silver industry gave greater
promise than on any other part Of the earth
when the State was h0nored and our people
respected wherever known, and when We
had reason to hope that Nevada would Dc,
come one of the grandest. the richest and
most pOpulons OF the great sisterho0d OF
States. Our hopes have been blasted and
oyerthown. In the interest OF 0thce-seekers
the Republican party of Nevada has cfoatcd
unnecessary Offices, manipulated deputyships
and esta biished extrayagsnt fees and nnpre-
cedented salaries. =
CALIFORNIA PREFERRED TO NEVADA.
II has enacted laws and Instituted n sys-
tam OF business which enriched and popula-
ted the State of California. at the cost OF the
State of Nevada: which made IL more profit
able to reside and do business In San Fran
cisco than in Nevada. OF the hundreds OF
corporations owning mines and mining upon
the great ccmstock lode, but ont IL \ evada
corporation. Tho rest are nonresident and
not amenable to our courts, with their direc-
tors, officers and employees. filling positions
and drawing salaries which OF right belong
to people. ,,,. a.u.L. ~. -.
the mines not ten millions remtin In the
State The mines, the greatest source Of
our wealth, have fallen into the hands OF co :
porations and spectators. Not only the
business of mining and milling ores, but the
business Of manufacturing lumber. square
timbers and cod; the business Of IMPLYING
water, fuel and lights. In short, every profit.
able industry. Is monopoilzed, dragged aud
numbered until nothing IL left TO our people
but the wfe ched pittance called he wages

| the monopclist.
ABUSE on THg LAND Laws.

tracts large enough for counties, aud IN place

arc camps for the cows.
| DECREASE OF WEALTH AID POPULATION.
| Our population which was S0U In 1871.
| and which should have bsen DObD by h0w.
/ has decreased to 4O,0ll, aud our taxaDle wealth
which should be SiUOO,0o) l. less than

ceased and the State is Is betty depodulated.
IMPORTED SENATORS.
| II has 30 often imported candidates for
| Office into the State. so often exposed the
| great Office Of Senator for sale, 30 often Cor

| To correct these wrongs and reform these

/ and to the accomplishment or this great work
| we soemnly pledge ourselves.
