DINE CONVENTION ENOUGH.

About It's Of the citizens Of Reno
have signed and Published the follow
ing call:
The undersigned demand q State or
ganization Of the Peoples party, and
for this purpose we respectfully invite
the Populists of Nevada to meet in
mass convention at MeKissick's Opera
House, Reno, New, on the 9th day OF
September, OF 10 o'clock A. NJ, to there
perfect an organization and to nominate
Q full State ticket Of genuine Peoples
party men.
Many Of the signers worked for and
voted the silver ticket in the last cleo.
tion. The exceptions are men who two
years ago were with the old parties, but
who now no doubt are willing to believe
that it is time TO cut loose from the
old rotten hulks and do all that is
possible 10 assist the new party, which
Ia fast becoming Q giant, to down them
both, or are willing to sign 9 petition,
which commits them to nothing, for
the purpose of creating a division in
the Silver party ranks.
While the Silver party in the last
campaign did not indorse the Peoples
party platform in its entirety, il didn't
miss it much, and did indorse and car
riod the State for its Presidential and
Vice Presidential nominees; therefore,
about all the difference between the
Silver party and the Peoples party at
the present time is simply a different
way OF spelling the party's name. When
the Silver party was organized il was for
the specific purpose Of carrying the
State against both Harrison and Glove
land. That was done.
II has been evident for some time that
many in the Silver party were anxious
TO come out squarely and place the party
in the Populist camp, and this sentiment
has been encouraged by the old line Re-
publicans and Democrats in the west
ern part of the State, with the hope that
IL would bring about a split in the Silver
party and in that way enable the g. o. p.
10 elect their ticket this Fall, but in this
they will be badly mistaken. The indie
pendent voters of the State are not 60
ing to get In q squabble over the name
OF their party or over the offices that are
at stake. The Silver party holds its
State Convention in Carson on the 4th
of September. Dat of the POI dele
gates who will be in attendance, it ia
safe to say that the Populist sentiment
will be ably and well represented, there
fore. it looks to US as if the work Of the
Reno convention, which ia called for two
days later, might as well be attended TO
in Carson and save time. II the mem.
bers Of the Silver party desire to land
the party into the Peoples camp, it is
their duty to elect such delegates to the
Carson convention as will reflect their
wishes and carry them out. We, who
stood together in the last campaign and
won such Q glorious victory under tas
banner OF the Silver party Of Nevada,
must not allow our ranks to be broken
or weakened simply over the name Of
our party.
The writer Of this article has spent az
much time and taken as much interest
in creating an independent spirit among
the voters Of the State as any one in IL.
and be never has and does not now ask
for any political recognition at the hands
OF any party; he only has the interest Of
the true motive Of the Silver party at
heart and does not want to see brother
srrayed against brother in q political
strife. as it would be if there should be
. Populist and Silver ticket in the field
this year. We say to brethren In the
western part Of the State. don't get rat
tied, pay no attention to the sneering
earnings Of the old party fossils. Let
rs present . solid front under the ban
ner OF free coinage and reform, and not
quarrel over the name Of our party at
the present time. Il would be we'll to
have a State organization of the Peoples
party go ss to be ready to take hold Of
the national fight in 1896, as Nevada
will undoubtedly then do as she did in
1892, cast her electoral votes for the
nominees Of the Peoples party. the only
party that has the same monetary plank
Ia every State in the Union, but don't
let US get matters mixed up this year by
having two tickets in the field.
The Silver State believes in the grand
principles Of majority rule. and we again
repeat. don't do that which will place
two tickets in the field against the Wall
street twins, rather take the only sensi-
BILE course, and that is settle the ques-
ton in the Carson Convention and let
the Reno Convention be simply q ratif-
cation meeting.-Silver State.
