SUMMING UP.
such sa recital of the infamous deeds of
the once hon0red party. which the lofty and
immortal Sumner, Seward and Chase and
Greeley and 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 1t glorious, has fallen I'M
der the degenerate leadership of Tom Reed.

THE FORCE BILL.
We denounce and condemn the Republican
majority in the national House of kepresen-
tatiyes for the passage of the Infamous Force
hill by which that majority, masquerading
under the guise Of a free ballot and fair count,
seeks to perpetuate itself In power by insldi-
ousIv destroying the liberties of American
citizens, usurping tho legitimate functions Of
State Governments and bringing the Federal
machinery into intermedible conflict and
collision with the statutory rights Of the
people Of the various commonwealtns OF
Federal interference with the people in the
registration of their sovereign will Is des-
potic and centralizing In Its tendencies; dan
gerons to tho liberty. peace and prosperity
the principles eff free Government as be-
oueathed to US by the trainers of the Consti-
tution. For these crimes the Republican
party of the State is in part responsible and
wholly responsible for greater legal ofienses.
THE STATE GOVERNMENT.
The Republican party Of this state began
its career OF dishonor and ruin In 1864, when
our wealth and population were more than
double what they are to-day, when our yet
undeveloped 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 wo
had reason to hope that Nevada would be-
come one of the grandest. the richest and
most populous OF the great slsterhood Of
States. Our hopes have been blasted and
overthrow. In the interest OF otfice-seekers
the Republican party of Nevada has created
unnecessary Offices, manipulated depntyships
and established extrayagant fees and UMPIRE
cedented salaries.
CALIFORNIA PREFERRED TO NEVADA.
1t has enacted laws and instituted a sys-
tenn of business which enriched and popua-
ted tho State of California, az the cost OF the
State os Nevada; which made it more profit
able to reside and do business In San Fran
cisco than in Nevada. or the hundreds Of
corporations owning mines and mining upon
the proat Comstock lode, but ONE Is a n eyada
CORPORATION. The rest are non resident and
not amenabe to our courts. with their direc-
tors officers and employees, filling PORTIONS
and drawing salaries which Of right belong
to people.
the mines not ten imillions remtin In the
State The mines, the greatest source Of
our wealth, have fallen into the hands OF CO.
porations and specuiators. Not only the
II M fhn
business Of manufacturing lumber, square
tim beers and wood; the business Of supplying
water, fuel and lights. In short, every prott
able industry, Is monoD0lizcd, dragged and
pluuder red until nothing Is left TO our people
but the wreichcd pittance called the wages
of labor. Tho state Is literally tue spoil u
the monopclist.
ABUSE OF THE LAND LAWS.
The public lands. which should have been
sold in small holdings to settlers, have been
contracted to spectators aud cattle kings in
tracts largo enough for counties, and In place
our valleys being homes for the people they
are camps for the cows
DECREASE OF WEALTH AND POPULATION.
Our population which was 5000 in 1851
and which should have been 10000 by nov,
has decreased to 40,00, aud our taxable wealth
which should be SlO0,0Oo,OJO Is less than
Ss5,0O,OOO.
RoBBsG THE SCHOOL FUND.
The Republican party has robbed tho
school fund -olemnly dedicated to tho odnca-
ton OF our children and substituted for the
money worthless promise, which II pro-
yides shall mover be paid.
Under Its management our industries have
been paralyzod and are no longer profitable;
taxes have Increased until IN many places
property is valueless; immigration has
ceased and the State Is Is beiLg depodulated.
IMPORTED SENATOR'S.
II has 30 often imported candidates for
Office into the State. so often exposed the
| great Office OF Senator for sale, so often COR
| rupted the ballot box that we have been
stignlatized as the ''rotten borough" and have
| beco ne a byword and reProach and stencil In
| the nostrils Of tho English speaking people.
To correct these wrongs and reform these
abuses is the mission of the Democratic party
and to the accomplishment Of this great work
we eolemnly pledge ourselves.
