For County Commissioner (Short Tern
.sOS. CONAWAY.
PLATFORM.

We your commit tee on platform and
resolutions beg leave to report as follows:
The Silver Party OF Lincoln County,
announces itself as in full sympathy and
accord with the Silver Party of the State
of Nevada.
We recognize the declaration of princi
pies contained in the platform of the
Silver Party at Carson City on the 4th.
day of September 1894, as being those
best calculated, in view of the general de-
pressed character of every business and
other enterprise throughout our entire
country, to bring about again a season of
general prosperity and gladness to the
whole people, and we most heartily en-
dorse the said platform in its entirety.
We believe the free coinage of silver, on
Il ratio of 16 to to be one of our rights as
citizens of this country. We believe, that
without this our whole county will con-
time to suffer from business depression
and other relative causes and we stand
ready at all times, and in every proper
manner, no matter by what name it may
be known, to assist tosuccess, that party or
organization, which has for Its object the
restoration of silver to its proper place as
money in this country, and with this OBJ
every man in this commonwealth, we
join hands, without regard to former poll
tical Affiliations, and labor for the common
good.
The demoralizing effects of the lottery
system being so we'll known and being
daily more and more understood, we
pledge our strongest efforts to defeat the
establishment of lottery in this state.
Reforms should first begin at home.
Efficient and competent officers in every
department of our county government, in
these times of general depression, and in
view of the Indebtedness under which we
labor, and which sooner or later, must be
paid, are one OF our primest necessities,
and we pledge our best efforts to elect and
to maintain corps of county officers
which shall be at once capable, efficient
and thoroughly honest.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Correspondence of THE RECORD.

Correspondence of THE RECORD.
WASHINGTON, September IL, 1894.
The FIVE hundred members of the depart.
ment of the Potomac G. A. R. who have
gone to the annual encampment at Pitts
burg from Washington, carried with them
document that will be heard from by the
Cleveland administration, and what is
heard will not be pleasant, either. That
document is resolution adopted by the de-
partment of the Potomac, asking that some
corning the Wholesale dismissal of Union
veterans by this administration, in violation
of the general law as well as of the civil
service law, both of which say in plain
language that other things being equal,
Union veterans shall have the preference in
government employment. The resolution
was adopted in executive session and will
not be made public until it has been sub.
mitted to the encampment, but happen to
know that it is both vigorous and pointed.
This matter of the discharge of Union
soldiers-so in the neighborhood of
two thousand of them have been dismissed
from the government service since March
4, lS93-wll not be allowed to rest with
the G. A. II. Many of the men dismissed
are not members of that organization, and
for that reason an Independent organization
has been formed, composed entirely of Union
soldiers who have been dismissed from the
government service by the Democrats,
which will act as an auxiliary to the G. A,
R. in bringing their unjust treatment to the
notice of the public and in attempting to
get Justice for themselves. This organiza.
ton has held several meetings, and is in
possession of the record of every veteran
dismissed, but it will not decide what action
it will take until it has known what dispo-
sition the G. A. R. encampment will make
of the resolution sent from Washington, as
the desire is to allow the G. A. X. to take
the initiative.
The recent action Of the sugar planters o.
louisiana, in deciding to act with the Re
publican party, recalls prediction made by
ex-governor Yarmouth, who was in Wash
ngton during the fight over the suga
schedule in the Senate. He told ex-Speakel
Reed and Representative Dazel. of Penn
The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1894-09-20

sylvania, that if they would agree to make
a half dozen protection speeches in Louis
lana he would promise that at least three
Republican members would be elected to
the House from that state. Neither of them
made any promise In fact, the prominent
Republicans while willing to give all men
cordial welcome to the Republican party,
are rather disposed to leave these Louisiana
sugar planters to work out their own politi-
cal salvation. They have not forgotten the
efforts which have been made time after
time by the Republican party to make these
very same sugar planters see that their pros
perity, as well as that of the country at
large, was dependent upon the success of
the Republican party nor the manner in
sugar planters took all the benefits they
could get from the Republicans and contin-
ued to work and vote for the Democrats.
Now they are getting paid for being blind to
their own interests, and the average Repub-
lican believes in letting them do their own
weeping. How the Louisiana Democrats in
Congress take the move may be gathered
from this plain language used by Represen-
tative Meyer, the only one of them now in
Washington: at may mean that Repub-
lican delegation will be sent to the next
House from Louisiana and that Republican
Presidential electors may be chosen in '96.
this movement is no more than might have
been expected. The Democratic Congress
has dealt shamefully with the great interest
of Louisiana after repeatedly promising to
sustain it. The party has received strong
and consistent support from the state for
many years, and the first time il secures
complete control of the government it pro,
ceeds to infict upon Louisiana the hardest
blow she was ever given by legislation. We
have not only been dealt unfairly with. but
have beeu deceived; in word, buncoed. u
Mr.. Meyer is lingering in Washington be-
cause he is ashamed to go home and face his
constituents. The best assurance he has
been able to get from Secretary Carlisle is
that the administration will kill the bill for
free sugar which has already passed the
House.
Representative Holman, of Indiana,
before leaving for his home to begin hi;
canvass for reelection, confessed that he
was far from confident of succeeding, anG
intimated that he did not blame the voters
for being disposed to deprive the Democrat
of the power they have shown themselves
incapable of wisely using. While Mr.
Holman voted for all the Democratic legis
lation during the present Congress he trieo
hard to persuade the bosses not to permi
much of it. He saw the ruin that woulc
follow, which other members of his part
either would not or could not see. AnC
now he sees himself in danger of being in
volved in the party ruin.
Secretary Carlisle's tariff decisions ar
going to make no end of litigation. Near
every day he makes one that brings motto
from the parties interested of an intention t
contest it in the courts
