Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1892-05-01
THE PEOPLE TO THE FORE.


present trend of politics in this State
should be checked, as it might lead to
a third party.
In our humble opinion the third
party is already here.
The APPEAL warned the politicians
of this State during the last session
Of the Legislature that they were
sowing the seeds of whirlwind when
they trampIed on the rights OF the
votars and refused to count the ballots |
which gave majority to the calling |
Of a Constitutional Convention.
The people wanted new COnstl-
tuition and expressed their'wish clear
" and Enthusiastically at the polls'
but the party bosses did not want
the old Constitution-whlch placed
the people of the State in the power
of the corporations -changed, and s"
a Legislature, created by the corpor-
atiens solely for their own convent
ance and composed of Republicans
and Democrats, deliberately threw
out enough votes to thwart the Will
of the people of Nevada.
This was done by the most open
and barefaced methods and the
counties of Eureka and Lyon were
disfranchised by the most disgracetul
and arrogant assumption of power
Even when the masks were torn
from the faces Of the consplrators IN
the Senate chamber by forcing them
to vote on issues they had persistant-
" lodged, they did not pause in their
work of trampling on the will OF the
majority.
1t was here that tho parry bosses
committed political suicide. 1t was
then that the death knell of partisan
politics was sounded in Nevada and
it was in Lyon and Eureka that the
revolt began. 1t set the people to
thinking and this is why honest vot-
ers refuse to be tricked into attend
ing machine primaries, that they
may be ready to act for themselves
at the general elections. The crack
of the party whips, which few years
ago caused the voters to cover and
cringe, now only excites derlslve
laughter.
The people of Nevada have been
tricked, robbed and humbugged year
after year by constituencies connubi-
ators, masqueradilg as expoEants OF
party politics.
The leaders of both parties, while
apparently the bitterest enemies IN
Nevada, meet at midnight at the Pal
ace Hotel in San Francisco and then
make the most shameless trades and
bargains. When they meet to job
the people and divide the spoils, all
pretense Of party lines are obllterated
and they are merely a conclave OF
boodlers concocting schemes to hood
wink the voters of Nevada and loot
the State.
There has been no Republican Or
Democratic party in Nevada for years.
It is merely the Palace Hotel party
whose Central Committee has Its
headquarters and principal place OF
business in San Francisco.
The people of Nevada are con-
fiding class and they will stand good
deal. but there is certain point be-
yond which they cannot be driven
They are making stand now al
over the State and will strike blow
for their rights. The outcome vii
be a Silver party in the Silver State
They will build a platform that NJ
gold bug or Weakened silver mai
can stand on. They will cast OH tn
old garments or boodleism and boss
ism and pitch them into corner
man discards suit of lousy under
clothes that are unfit for the wash.
They will remove the. big cooper
that has been holding down Nevad
and go in for State development an
prosperity and the Silver part
will see that when the citizens of n
vada vote, their votes will be counte
and San Francisco will no longer
the capitol of Nevada.
