The goldbugs in The Eastern States

The goldbugs in the Eastern States
and the money lenders of Europe
have sent willy agents into Nevada to
down the Silver Pasty. They are now
engaged in the work Of defeating. il
possible, Hon. Francis G.. Newlands,
the nominee Of the Silver Party for
Representative in Congress. Tho
money sharks do not like Congress.
man Newlands for the reason that he
does not belong to either OF the two
old parties. Tho national bankers
and the big corporations and the Shy.
locks Of Europe have agreed that the
the majority in both Houses OF Con.
gross must be either Republican
or Democratic--they do not care
which. They know that they can
easily control the legislation OF this
great country while the two old parties
(who seem to have formed u copart.
nership) are in power and reign gu.
preme. They also know that they
cannot "hsndle' the Silver Party,
hence their opposition to Congression-
nj candidates who do not belong to
Republican or Democratic organiza.
tions,
In view OF these facts. the people
of Nevada owe it to themselves to
see that the goldbugs do not carry
their political points ut this Falls
election.
The talk that Nevada wonld be
-irmediatcly benefited by hay.
ing = Republican Congressman
is mere bosh. Tho records Of the
American Congress show that wh;le

Hon es Of the National Legislature by
Republicans, the Republicans of the
East, then in power. persisted in re-
fusing nearly every request and de.
mand made by our Senators and Rep.
resentative. This is the truth, rs
every Nevadan, to his sorrow, knows.
The Eastern Republicans are as
aggressive to day rs they we're then,
and judging from the wishy-washy
platforms adopted by their State Con.
ventions this year, it is evident that
they have not. and will not, change
their views regarl ling the silver ques-
ion. The Eastern Republicans are
FULLY rs much opposed to the rehabil-
,tation OF the white metal now as they
nave been for many years past, and
we're the silver State represented in
Congress by Republicans, or
Democrats the situation would still
remain unchanged.
When such men t~Republicans) as
tones. Stewart. Teller, W~olcott. Stan.
ord, Perkins, and even Cameron ot
Pennsylvania, have been unable to
change the views OF the Eastern Re.
publicans, what chance is there for II.
+. Bartine or any other Republican
rom Nevada to accomplish the de-
sired purpose? The Belmont Courier
sees no chance whatever.
Therefore behooves every patriotic
e'ector in Nevada to stand firmly by
he Silver party. Lot tho people OF
his State show to tho Eastern Re.
pub'icals and Democrats that we
have concluded that the two oil par.
ties Ua l no longer be trusted when it
comes to the silver question; that
hey have compelled us to look else
