THE SILVER QUESTION IN LYON.
The following call has been issued
in Lyon county:
We the undersigned, citizens and
voters, the bone and ainew of Igor
county, State of Nevada, band our
selves together to further our inter
ests and the interests Of the State
and we realize that to accomplish
this We must stand upon q platform
having these two planks: First, Free
Coinage of Silver; Second, Irrigation
Legislation. We claim to be indie
pendent citizens, and will act indie
pendently of any party that does not
support our interests. We will meet
on stated day to organize and draw
such resolutions as we deem best for
our interests.
This call was signed by 116 citizens
Of Dayton inside Of three hours,
among whom are prominent Repub-
licans and Democrats. In a note to
the Journal signed by G. P. Mack,
w. W Byram, 7. J. A. Flaws, A.
j. Lolus, j. r. Shaw, F. W. Fair
banks and j. A. Huntoon, all well
known Republicans, and by j. Z.
Gignoux, Henry Wood, John Lo-
throp, ". r. Davis, w. J. Douglass
and j. II. Rae, Jr., well known
Democrats, it is stated to be the gen
eral belief in Lyon county that the
agitation Of free coinage and irriga-
ton legislation up to the present
time is but ripple, compared to the
tidal wave that will follow in all the
silver and irrigation States, provided
a systematic and organized effort is
made IN that direction. The people
OF Lyon county are weary of the OPP
pressive legislation of the past years
retarding and crushing out our indus
tries, while those of other sections of
the country are protected by bounty
and tariff laws, and the move is to
cut loose from party ties and stay
with the party that stays with Ne
vada in the ensuing National cam
paign. Is not this the sentiment of
the States and Territories possessing
arid lands and engaged in silver min
ingl If they will consolidate for
united action in National politics
they will be factor that can demand
and will receive that recognition to
which they are reasonably and justly
entitled. Let US 60 to work at home
urge others abroad to do the same
and soon the whole Pacific coast will |
vibrats in the throes of q mighty
agitation that will command the at
tsntion Of the two great parties of
the country and most speedily result !
in that legislation to foster our in
dustries, for which We have conten-
ded in the past and must fight for
now and in the future, if we would
realize q successful fruition of our
hopes and aims.
LIVELY TALK IN EsMERALDA.
The Walker Lake Bulletin has the
following:
The APPEAL would like to see the
Enterprise tell just how it stands on
the silver question. For a paper
published right over the big silver
mines its voice il somewhat uncert-
ain. -Carson APPEAL, March 31st.
The foregoing is very apt ques-
ton at this time to be put to the
leading Republican paper OF tho
State. Any reader of the Enterprise
must know that its position upon the
silver question has been very indef-
lite for some time. It does not take
he bold stand it should in favor of ,
Nevada's leading industry. /
1t is time that the press and poo
lie Of Nevada should stand shoulder :
o shoulder in the rocks upon this !;
,reat question, and laying aside all
Iuestions Of Political expediency, ,
DIN hands and make demand in no !
voice, that silver be &C.
orded its proper place. Il
The conventions for selecting dele J,
ates to the National Conventions a
nil meet soon, and they will be +,
acked and surrounded by gang i,
omposed of feeders at the public 3,
