tage qua way.
tIGHTH-we are most heartily in favor of the
construction of competing line of railroad across
the ate OF Nevada, and urge the Legislature of
the State to give proper encouragement to an
parties who will undertake the construction of
such road.
NNTH-we Indignantly condemn the action of
the self 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 unalternsbly opposed to
any lottery wLatever and especially the proposed
one, which would sha nelessly make the State Of
Nevada a stakeholder therein, and every county
in the State shsrer of its booty. We urgently
recommend that every Republican County Con-
yention in the State pledge its Legislative nomi-
nees to vote against the pending proposed lottery
amendment 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 If successful, we pledge m maintenance 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 he duty of the United
States Government to aid in the work.
TwELFTH-In view of the fact large numbers of
.s.,l..Y
abandoned and left unworkej 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
30 revised as to prevent the abuges referred to.
TBIRTEENTH-,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 stragRlers from those armies never yet
struck a decisive blow for any cause. The great
armies in American politics are the Republican
ana Democratic parties.
They comprise about 100000 voters. while
all the others combined aggregate barely one-
tenth of that number, and even these 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 1t
has recently taken, we believe that the Republi-
| can party gives the best assurance of favorable
silver legislation and that the stronger we can
make the silver sentiment with that party, the
nearer it will come to responding to our demand
We tn refore appeal to the citizens of suffer
| ing commonwealth not to fritter away their
strength by making war upon the only power that
is capable of doing anything for them, and is will
ing to do it, but to join us under the banner oi
"Protection and Bimetallism' in an honest and
determined effort to reach the end SO ardently de-
sire by all. .-
