OF that party, of Senate Joint Resolution No. 8,
by which our Senators and Representative in Con.
gress were urgently requested to do sll in their
power 10 promote and secure the passage Of an
Act OF Congress for the adjustment OF refurdine
OF the Indebtedness of the Southe Pacific Rail.
road thus emphatically endorsing the principles
OF he Reilly bill now pending In Congress and
going TO greater length in subserviency to that
company than any party in the State of Nevada
mad 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 Govern
ment We are in favor of the Government speedily
enforcing its demand in the best and most advan-
tageous way.
| EIGHrH-We are most heartily in favor of the
construction OF competing line of railroad across
| the State 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, 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 whatever and especially the proposed
one, which would shsnelessly make the State of
Nevada a stock-holdei therein, and every county
in the State shsrer of Its booty. We urgently
recommend that every Republican County Con-
vention in the State pledge its legislative nomi-
amendment to the Nevada Constitution.
TENrH-we invite the especial attention of the
people to the splendid Republican administration
| of our State Government for the last four years,
and II successful, we pledge a 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 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
laft rbni fnu
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 AZ to prevent the abuses referred to.
THIRTEEsTH-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 stragalers from those armies never yet
struck a decisive blow for any cause. The great
armies in American politics are the Republican
and Democratic parties.
They comprise about 10 100000 voters. while
all the others combined aggregate barely one
tenth of that number, and even these are organic
ed on various issues Hence, 1t should be apparent
to every man who stops to think, that the maiI
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 barreI
of results. Considering the advanced position il
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, th
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
I 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 o
"Protection and Bimetallism in IN honest an
determined effort tv reach the end so ardently de
sire by all. -
