The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1894-09-27

Of that patty, of Senate Joint Resolution No. 8,
by which our Senators and Representative in Con-
gress were urgently requested 10 do all in their
power to promote and secure the passage of an
Act OF Congress tor the adjustment or refunding
OF the Indebtedness OF the Southe Pacific Rail,
road, thus emphatic lily endorsing the principles
OF ho Kelly bill now padding in Congress and
going to greater Length 10 subseryiency to that
company than any party in the State OF Nevada
had ever gone before. And we cordially endorse
the action Of those Republican Senators who voted
against that resolution and the course Of the Re
publican Governor who refused to give 1t his
sanction.
Upon the maturing of the debts of the Pacific
Railroad Companies to the United States GSvern.
ment we are in favor of the Government speedily
enforcing its demand in the best and most advan-
tageous way.
EIaHrH-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 any
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-
scented 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 sha nelessly make the State of
Nevada a stakeholder therein, and every county
in the State sharer of its booty. We urgently
recommend that every Repu blican County Con-
vention in the State pledge its legislative nomi-
nees to vote against the pending proposed lottery
amendment to the Nevada Constitution.
TENrH-We invite the especial attention Of the
people to the splendid Republican administration
of cur State Government for the last four years,
and II successful. we pledge m aintenance of the
same high standard during the four years to come.
ELEvENrH-We are earnestly in favor of reclaim
ing the arid lands of Nevada in every practicable
way, and believe that 1t Is the duty Of the United
| States Government to aid in the work.
TwELFTH-In view of the fact large numbers of
mining claims are patented and then virtually
| abandoned and left unworkei 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
80 revised as to prevent the abuses referred to.
THlRTREsTH-.ws 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 stragglers from those armies never ye
struck decisive blow for any cause The grea
armies in american politics are the Republican
and Democratic parties.
They comprise about II. 100000 voters, Will,
all the others combined aggregate barely one
tenth of that number, and even these are organic
ed on various issues. Hence, IL shouid be apparen
to every man who stops to think that the mail
battles for silver should be fought within th
lines of the two great PARTIES and that indepen
dent efforts outside of those lines, must be barrei
of results. Considering the advanced position l
| has recently taken we believe that the Republi
can party gives the best assurance OF iavorabl
silver Legislation and that the stronger We cal
make the silver sentiment with that party, tn
nearer 1t will come to responding to our demand
We therefore appeal to the citizens of our suffer
ing commonwealth not to fritter away thei
strength by making war upon the only power tina
is capable of doing anything for them, and is will
ing to do it, but to join us under the banher c
"Protectio and Bimetallism" in an honest an
determined effort to reach the end 30 ardently dt
