Legislature of 1891 OH the vote for n
constitutional convention and the de-
feat of the proposed amendments
TO the constitution the Carson Appeal
says:

was defeated by the most arrogant
bossism, because certain corporations
did not want to chance n Constitn
ional Convention to the people, fear,
ing that the grip they had on the State
might he looscncd. The bull dozing
tactics OF the legislature lisintc
grated the Republican party, and it
WIS at that time, that the Appeal pre-.
dicted that the people would ring the
dcathk knell Of the Republican party in
this State. In spite of the assault
made on the Appeal for this state
ment, it has lived to see the predic.
tion amply verified and we do not be.
licve that Republican Legislature
WA N'Ni bilt vi
this State again.
In place OF granting the people
what they asked for Mt the ballot box
the Republican party substituted
over twenty amendments, most OF
which were entirely valuclcss in chang.
ing the organic law and were so fri
volous and mcarinalcssns to he ut.
terly contemplate. These amend
ments were ruilroaded through the
Legislature under the pretext Of
economy. and have already cost the
State more to bury them thana con.
stitutionnl convention. Tho people,
fully realizing the imposition placed
on them, rose in their might and wip.

earth as a fitting rcbukc to the mar.

new houses were larger than the old ones.
Now. a man does not pnt "a new roof on

an unusual degree by fortunes smile
