UNITED FOR v

George Nixon of the Silver State
advocates the abolition of the silver
party in this State and the merging of
all the friends of silver under the
banner OF Democracy as it is the
party now of silver. The Silver State
says:
There is no need now of a Silver
party, a PEG ,le's party or any other
party representing the great question
OF more money and less misery as
this question is completely covered by
both the platform and the candidates
Of the Democratic party. The Silver
State has no desire to dictate, but it
does believe a suggestion that some
plan should be adopted in the near
future to bring about a complete
amalgamation of all the silver forces
in Nevada, is in order. The Eastern
gold Democrats have forsaken the
standard OF Bryan and We believe it
the duty of all Western silver men Of
all political complexion to fill the
space by rallying to his standard in
the most effective manner possible
and we can think of none better than
70 all join the Democratic party and
fight the battle of 1896 under one ban
ner. In this line we believe there
should be at an early date a Joint
meeting Of the Democratic, Populist
and Silver State Central Committees
for the purpose of outlining a plan
whereby all different factions can
work together for the one common Oh
ject-namely, the best interest of Ne
vada-and all know that means the
restoration of silver to the position it
occupied prior to 1873. If the fight is
lost this year it will be a great calam-
ity. and no man in Nevada who
believes in the free coinage Of silver
should put a pebble in the way. Let
us have unity, complete unity, and
victory will be our reward.
The above is sound sense and the
APPEAL seconds the motion made by
the Silver State. We must all cOnsOI-
idate under one banner and win the
battle for free silver. A failure to dc
this will almost destroy the State o.
Nevada.

POPULISTS FOR Y

Populists in all part of the country |
Scion Chase, the originator of the
greenback movement in Maine, and
one who carried the State, had de-
clared for Bryan and Sewall. He has
been mentioned as the probable
nominee of the Populists for Presi-
dent, but he and them steers will
support Bryan and he advises the
party to indOrse him at st. Louis.
Senator Allen of Nebraska in a
speech at Omaha. said the Populist
party could elect the next President.
The audience interpreted is as a de-
claration for Bryan and his name re-
sounded through pit and gallery.
1t is expected that the State Populists
Convention will indorse Bryan,
In forty-three county conventions
in Kansas the delegates have been in
structed to iDdorse Bryan and Sewall.
All the leading Populists in the State
favor this move.
At Spokane. Washington, a large
and enthusiastic meeting a held, at
which Judge Turner, heretofore a
staunch Republican presided. Demo-
Gratis, Populists and Silver Repub-
licans occupied the stage and in
speeches, amid cheers, they publicly
announced their intention Of support
ing Bryan and Sewall. The chairman
closed his address with the remark
that the Chicago Convention was the
greatest, brainiest, and most patriotic
gathering of the kind held in the last
twenty-five years, and if all the
friends of silver would now unite,
BRYAN would sweep the country like a
whirlwind,
1t is possible for the Populists, who
meet at st. Louis next week to make
the election of Bryan a certainty. Ii
patriotism prevails over part!sanlsm
and pelf, Bryan will be nominated or
Endorsed, and the country will be re-
leased from the deadly single standard
incubus, which is paralyzing every in
dustry and reducing the people to a
condition Of serfdOn.
