Of that party, of Senate Joint Resolution No. 3,
by which our Senators and Representative in Con.
gress were urgently requested to do all in their
pow 70 promote and secure the passage of an
Act Of Cn gress for the adjustment or refunding
OF the Indebtedness of the Southe Pacific Rail.
road. thus empuatically endorsing the prime ples
Of the Reilly bill now pending ia Congress and
going 10 greater length in subseryiency to- that
company than any party in the State of Nevada
hid ever gone before And we cordially endorse
the nc ion Of those Republican Senators who voted
atGlnst that resolution and the course of the Re.
publiegn Governor who refused II give II his
sanction.
Upon the maturing of the debts of the Pacific
abroad Companies 10 the United States Govern
tnt, We are in favor OF the Government spec ally
enforcing its demand in the best and most advan-
| tageous way.
kIaHTH-We are most heartily ia favor of the
construction of Il competing line of railroad across
| the ate of Nevada, and urge the Legislature of
| the State to give proper encouragement to any
parties who will undertake the construction of
| such road
! NINTH-We Indignantly condemn the action of
the lf-styled Silver party of Nevada, as repre-
sented in the Sixteenth session of the Legislature
| for passing propose Constitutional amendment
| authorizing lottery We declare the Republican
party of Nevada to be unalternably opposed to
| any lottery whatever and especially the proposed
one, which would shanelessly make the State of
| Nevada stakeholder therein ami every county
| in the State sharer of its booty. We urgently
| recommend that every Republican County Con-
vention in the State pledge its Legislative nomi-
nees to vote against the pending proposed lottery
an mendment to the Nevada Constitution.
TENTH-We invite the especial attention OF the
people to the splendid Republican administration
of our State Government for the last four years,
and il successful, we pledge in aintenance of the
same high standard during the four years to come.
ELEVENTH We are earnestly in favor of reclaim
ing the arid lands of Nevada in every practicable
way, and believe that it Is the duty of the United
| States Government to aid in the work,
TwELFTH-In view of the fact .arge numbers of
mining claims are patented and then virtually
abandoned and left unworke1 for years. thus ex-
cluding 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.
THIRTEENTH-'We admit the honest purpose of
the mass of our fellow citizens who have raised
the Silver and Populist standards 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 the
world the strsgglers from those armies never yet
struck decisive blow for any cause. The great
armies in American politics are the Republican
and Democratic parties.
They comprise about 100000 voters. while
all the others combined aggregate barely one
tenth of that number, and even these are organic
ed on various issues Hence, 1t should be apparent
to every man who stops to think, that the main
battles for silver should be fought within the
lines of the two great parties, and that indepen.
dent Efforts outside of those lines must be barren
OF results Considering the advanced position il
has recently taken, We believe that the Republi
can party gives the best assurance of favorable
. silver legislation and that the stronger cal
make the silver sentiment with that party, thu
nearer it win come to responding to our demand
We tn rofore appeal to the citizens OF our suffer
ing commonwealth not to iritter away thei
I strength by making upon the only power tha
is capable of doing anythingfor them, and is Will
ing to do it, but to join us under the banner o
"Protection II and Bimetallism' in an honest ant
determined effort to reach the end so ardently de
sire by all -,,,,,,,,,,
