A WORD To DEMOCRATS.

For the last four years, the Demo
Gratis Of ElkC county have wandered
in the wilderness, following strange
gods and voting for men who never
breathed a Democratic breath o7
Thought Il Democratic thought. Their
party organization was broken md
the rank and file OF the party were
scattered and found temporary rest
ing places i'll the Silver Party. They
were content for Il time beneath the
banner of that p~arty.and aided it to
win its victories.
But the old Democratic spirit still
lived. and they looked forward to the
time when their party would present
an unbroken front and they could
once moro rally with the hosts OF
true Democrats all over the land in
the support of a Democratic ticket
from President down to Constable.
Such a time has come.
The National organization cut loose
from the barnacles OF the East and
adopted a platform and placed there
on the peerless leaders Bryan and
Sewall. The State organization
followed and fused with the Silver
party on a State ticket that should
command the support OF every Demo-
crat i'll Nevada. Catching the spirit
hre.;t.Ied by the National convention,
AMI anxious to give their loyal sup
port to their matchless leader, the
Den ocrats Of EllSo county took steps
to reorganize their shattered columns
md place a ticket III the field. \
convention was held and II full ticket.
with the exception Of a Recorder and
thrc" Assemblymen, Was nomi-
mated. For the former position no
candidate presented himself ard on
the latter the convention fused with
Silver party.
That ticket isnow before the people
OF Elko county. 1t Is composed OF
substantial citizens, well qualified for
the positions they seek. They are the
equals OF their opponents on the
Silver ticket and the peers OF the iii
dependent candidates.
Democrats, this ticket is carrying
the banner Of Democracy under
whose glorious folds yOu have
marched 10 victory in tho years gone
by. lour party placed it in the field and
you should give it yonr TO-! nj support.
You, who still linger i'll the ranks OF
the Silver party, think Of the history
OF the party Jefferson founded and
come back into it's ranks and march
side by side with your matchless
leaders and win IL glorious victory on
the 81 Of next month. Sever Your
relations with Il temporary Organiza-
ton and renew your allegiance to the
party whose foundation is the con.
stitution Of the Republic. Hear the
buglr call sweeping over plains and
mountains. cchoing from hilltop "a
hilltop. and rally roRnd the nag so
gaiIantly carried 10y William },
Bryan. Get out of the political
wilderness you have wandered 10 the
last four years and drink anew from
the fountains OF Democracy.
