SUMMING UP.
Such is q recital of the infamous deeds of
the once honored party. which the lofty and
immortal Sumner, Seward and Chase and
Greeley aud Phillips and 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 dishonored, and recreant to every prin-
ciple which made It glorious, has fallen un-

banks too contemplate to mention.
THE FORCE BILL.
We denounce and condemn the Republican
majority In the national House of Represen-
tativcs for the passage of the Infamous Force
bill, by which that majority, masquerading
under the guise of a free ballot and fair count,
seeks TO perpetuate itself In power by insidi-
ously destroying the liberties of American
citizens, usnrping the legitimate functions of
State Governments and bringing the Federal
collision with the statutory rights of the
people of the various eammonwealths Of
the Union. We hold that this species of
Federal interference with the people In the
registration of their sovereign will Is .des-
potic and centralizing in Its tendencies; dan
gerous to the liberty, peace and prosperity
OF the people; and o direct contraveDtiOn OF
the principles Of free Govern ment as be-
oueathed TO US by the trainers Of the C0nsti-
tuition. For these crimes the Republican
party OF the State is In part responsible and
wholly responsible for greater legal offenses.
THE STATE GOVERNMENT.
The Republican party of this State began
its career of dishonor and ruin In 1854, when
our wealth and population were more than
double what they are to-day, when our yet
undeveIoped silver industry gave greater
promise than on any other part OF the earth.
when the State was honored and our people
respected wherever known, and when We
had reason 10 hope that Nevada would be-
come one of the grandest, the richest and
most populous Of the great sisterhood of
States Our hopes have been blasted and
overthown. In the interest of oiiice-seekers
the Republican party of Nevada has created
unnecessary offices, manipulated deputyships
and established extrayagant fees and UMPIRE
cedented salaries.

but the wrelched piItance called the wages

the monopoiist.
