The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1894-10-06

State to give proper encouragement to
any parties who will undertake the
construction of such road.
Nineth-We Indignantly condemn the
action of the self-styled Silver Party
of Nevada, as represented in the Six
teenth Session of the Legislature, for
passing a proposed Constitutional
amendment authorizing a lottery. We
declare the Republican Party of Ne
vada to be unalterably opposed to any
lottery whatever, and especially to the
proposed one, which would shame
lessly make the State of Nevada a
stockholder therein, and every county
in the State sharer of it's booty. We
urgently recommend that every Re-
publican County Convention in the
State pledge it's legislative nominees to
vote against the pending proposed lot
terry amendment to the Nevada Con-
stitution.
Tenth-We invite the especial at
tention of the people to the splendid
Republican administration of our State
Governor for the last four years, and
if successful, we pledge maintenance
of the same high standard during the
fours years to come.
Eleventh-We are earnestly in fa-
vor of reclaiming the arid lands of Ne
vada in every practicable way, and be-
lieve that it is the duty of the United
States Government to aid in the work.
Twelfth-In view of the fact that
large numbers of mining claims are
patented and then virtually abandoned
and left unworked for years, thus ex-
Guiding from location and development
large tracts OF mineral land, we believe
that the laws under which such claims
are patented, should be so revised as
to prevent the abuses referred to.
AN APPEAL FOR THE STATES GOOD.
Thirteenth-We admit the honest
purpose of the mass of our fellow citi-
zens who have raised the Silver and
Populist standard in this State, but
we conscientiously believe that they
are mistaken and misguided in the
course which they are now pursuing.
Great battles are fought and won by
great armies, and in all the history of
this world the stragglers from those
armies never yet struck decisive
blow for any cause. The great armies
in American politics are the Republi-
can and Democratic parties.
They comprise about 1900, 900
voters, while all the others combined
aggregate barely one-tenth of that
number, and even these are organized
upon various issues. Hence, it should
be apparent to every man who stops,
to think, that the main battles for sill
yer should be fought within the lines,
of the two great parties, and that in
dependent efforts outside of those
lines, must be barren of results. Con-
sidering the advanced position it has
recently taken. We believe that the Re-
publican party gives the best assur-
ance of favorable silver legislation,
and that the stronger we can make
the silver sentiment within that party,
the nearer it will come to responding
to our demand.
We therefore appeal to the citizens
of our suffering commonwealth not to
fritter away their strength by making
war upon the only power that is cap
able of doing anything for them, and is
willing to do it, but to join us under
the banner of "Protection and Bimet-
allism" in an honest, determined effort
to reach the end SO ardently desired
by all.
