publicsns Of the silver producing States

nominated they would support him
against Bland, Willisms, Vest, or any
free coinage Democrat that could be

either one Of them by rs large q majority
as he did before. The Nevada Republi.
can bosses, or rather the Republican
boss, is directed and controlled by q
New York goldite, and the latter issues
his order to the former. who in turn
directs his l~ieutenants, who manipulate
the conventions and wheel the rank and
file into line. And Of such is the politics
Of the battleborn State. Why, if Clsve.

publicans and given the Presidential

larger majority than he was defeated
here before, and as against the most able
aud persistent free coinage Democrat In

The present State Government and the
Legislature is composed almost e~xclus-
lively Of men who call themselves Re.
pnblicans, yet prominent and intelligent
members Of that party are 90 utterly dis
gusted with their actions that they are
asking elf Nevada to-day has repub-
lican form Of government" The doubt
as to our form Of government arises main
ly from the fact that q majority Of the
Legislature ignore the popular will on
matters Of vital importance to the peo-
pie, and are accused. whether rightfully
so or not, Of being mere tools Of the
bosses. Complaints OF this character.
though usual Of late years, we're never so
we'll founded as at present. Everything
the bosses want, that q majority Of the
Legislature caa do. is being done, while
the wishes Of the public are wholly dis
regarded.
This is a good time for the people to
study the situation and determine what
to do in the future. Will the men who
declaim loudly against "bossism" be-
tween elections. but support the tools OF
the bosses .. the polls, continue TO do so,
and at ensuing elections sink patriotism
and the public welfare in partisanship'
Will the respectable and unpurchasable
element Of the dominant party in Nevada
continue to swallow "bossism" because
il is labeled "Republicanism," and re-
peat the dose though it nauseates them !
Will this element vote against reputable
and permanent citizens, who, like them
selves, have the welfare Of the State at
heart, and for men who have only ar
office seeking interest in Nevada, and at.
tain position through bossism, because
the bosses can control them?
Il is time that a change be made in
Nevada. The people should unite and
end boss rule, which, disguised as Re
publicanism, has deceived men of prin-
ciple, and is running the commonwealth

done Of real practical benefit to the COM
monwealth, and we must say the pros
poets are not encouraging for much to
be done. The Fifteenth session could
have immortalized itself in the history Of
Nevada legislation if its members had
been true to their pledges, and it lie not too

a long sermon to the Mexicans about the

Subsequently the minister informed Mr..
