Gentlemen OF the Convention, We
have met today for the purpose Of
nominating ID County ticket. Upon
your action depends much of the sue
cess Of the Fail campaign.
We are stronger in this County than
ever before and the only way that We
can he defeated is by the breeding Of
dissention III the ranks by eme>ariles
OF the enemy. mt attempt TO cleate u
split in he ranks and die naming vi
al independent ticket, has been going
on for weeks. The way to win is to
manage ou.' W party affairs anG
not allow Republicans to furnish US
either with advice OF candidates.. Iney
have also taken occasion to Slur this
Convention, which is as representative
a body OF men as was ever called to-
getGer i'll this county. 1t has been
charged That some Of them do not own
realty IN Ormsby. The people making
these charges should understand that
the election franchise III Nevada is not
based on a property qualification and
tuat The ownership Of real estate is Dot
always a guarantee or either brains or
honesty. Ii some men III Ormsby were
required to surrender the REAL estate
they have dishonesty acquired their
names woald soOY disappear from the
tay roll AZ ,ntp - rhn OnId # "A n,ta ri
is maintained The realty tax rolls will
decrease.
The Silver party has he majority of
votes in Ormeby, yet by bad general
snip and petty party squabbles, the
fight Can easily be lost. WITH harmony
d complete aud glorious victory can De
wOn.
