Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1895-09-12
THE SILVER STATES iCEA
Ii Takes no Stock in the Non.
partisan Silver Movement,

49, ('t'h - l.
to make on the reports Of the non
partisan meeting held in this city
last week:
There are several things in the
above proceedings that would cause
an Indian image to smile. The first
IS the appeal of r. g. Chambers of
Salt Lake urging unity Of action
among the friends Of silver in Ne
vada. If Mr.. Chambers will cast his
eye over the election returns during
the two last campaigns be should be
convinced that his appeal has already
been favOrahly granted. We must
say thar he is somewhat behind the
times upon the history Of the silver
movement in Nevada. The second
cause for a smile is the Oil che~t.ut
remark of Fl. F. Bartine stating :. AT
he regarded silver above any party
consideration and was ready to allev
himself with any party that could
best advance the cause of silver. He
however, reserves the right to be his
own Judge upon the important ques-
ton and in the future, as in the past,
will say when brought t. the scratch.
that he considers the Republican
party the party that a best advance
the cause of silver He further stated
that he would aid any mar that was
in favor of the free coinage of silver

bug. He 8 id the same thing three
years ago, then stumped the State for
harrison, an avowed goldbug, and
against General Weaver. a life long
Trend OF silver, and a mar who is
talking for it in a public ann
month in and month out. The Ma
tlonal Bimetallic Union which he
quotes so extensively is nothing but
a consolation bee of old party men
who claim to favor the remonetiza-
ton of silver, but who will not give
up their party allegiance.
In other words its members hope by
doing a great deal of shouting for
silver to be able to keep the voters
quiet until it is too late to do any,
thing except to vote for goldbug can
dldates or stay at home on election
day. No Bimetallic Union, club or
league is worthy of the name, unless
each member will take a pledge that
he will support no man for president
of the United States who is not I'M
equlVocally in favor of the free coin
age OF silver and who stands upOn a
platform which advocates the same.
Just ask Mr. Bartine if he will take
that pledge and see how quickly he
will change the subject. The third
smile is caused by the bluff of Major
Dennis. Still stranger things might
happen than the major voting the
Republican ticket as he has made a
very good Republican editor at times.
The Silver State has to say about the
question Of appointing two commit
teemen for each county, that the gen
tlemen are about three a behind
the times. They may find two men
in Humboldt county who will accent
the honor, but they will have a hard
time raising funds to support such a
concern as the National Bimetallic
Union in this neck of woods. This
county has raised more money for the
silver cause in other States during
the past three years than all the bal
ance Of the State, but it will not give
a dollar to such an outfit as the Ma
t1onaF Bimetallic Union. We have no
patience with such silver men as are
always talking about educating the
voters upon the silver question.
These very same gentlemen in their
public addresses will state that there
is no doubt but that a large majority |
OF the voters Of the nation are in favor |
OF the question, still they want you to
keep on voting the old party ticket
until such men as Grover Cleveland
and John Sherman are converted
What rot There is only one practi-
cal course for success, providing a
majority Of the voters favor the cues
Clon, ana ina Is give them a chance
to express their views at the polls.
That is the difference between the Sill
YER party Of Nevada and the National
Union. We favor voting
only for friends of the question while
the union favors confusion and vot-
ing for your old party candidate.
