of that patty, of Senate Joint Resolution No s.
by which our Senators and Representative in Con.
gress we're urgently requested to do sll in their
power to promote and secure the passage of an
Act of Congress for the adjustment or refundine
OF the Indebtedness OF the Southe Pacific Rail
road thus emphatically endorsing the principles
OF ne Reilly bill now pendinE In Congress and
going to greater length in subserviency 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 it 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.
EIGHTH-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-
sented in the Sixteenth session of the Legislature
for passing propose Constitutional amendment
authorizing lottery. We declare the Republican
party Of Nevada TO be unslternably opposed to
any lottery whatever and especially the proposed
one which would shanelessly make the State of
Nevada q stakeholder therein, and every county
in the State sharer of its booty. We urgently
recommend that every Republican oeunty Con-
vention in the State pledge its legislative nomi-
nees to vote against the pending proposed lottery
am mendment to the Nevada Constitution.
TENTH-We invite the especial attention of the
people to the splendid Republican administration
of our State Government for the last four years,
and If successful, we pledge 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 it 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 aud 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
so revised as to prevent the abuses referred to.
TuIRTEENTH-.We ADMIT the honest purpose of
the mass of our fellow citizens who have raised
but we conscientiously believe that they are
mistaken and misguided in the course which they
now pursuing. Great battles are fought and
won by great armies and in all the history of the
world the straggers from those armies never yet
struck decisive blow for any cause The great
armies in American politics are the Republican
and Democratic parties.
They comprise about 12, 100000 voters while
all the others combined aggregate barely one
tenth of that number, and even these are organic.
ed on various issues Hence, it should be apparent
| to every man who stops to think, that the main
battles for silver should be fought within the
liues of the two great parties, and that indepen-
dent efforts, outside of those lines, must b. barren
| of results. Considering the advanced position it
|
| can party gives the best assurance Of favorable
silver legislation and that the stronger W. can
make the silver sent IL ent with that party, the
nearer 1t will come to responding to our demand.
We therefore appeal to the citizens of suffer-
ing commonwealth not to friter away their
strength by max n war upon the only power that
is capable of doing anything for them, and is will
ing to do il, but to joiu us under the ba1her oi
"ProtectiOn aud Bihetallism" in an honest and
determined effort to reach the end 50 ardenly de.
