WEDNESDAY EVENING. APRIL 7. 1889
THE

NE 49,
Yesterdays election was one OF 'ne
most holly. contested for many years
Many causes led to this.
At the last election, q large and In
nuen,ial body of the republican party
OF this city, who we're deeply convicted
with the belief that bi-metallism was ab-
solutely necessary for individual and
national prosperity, united with Inc
other silver elements Of the city ana
gave one of the largest majorlties with
in our history. These men are as
deeply impressed now with the sounc-
ness of their position, as then.
Other republicans seemed to believe
that the road to party success WAS to
compel the silver republicans to recant
and st,He their convictions. This they
refused to do, but preferred to stand OF
their convictions on a great question
ard the result must DO to them CRAFTY
ing, indeed. A union of all silver men,
democrats, p~opulists and silver re
publicans was made and with a single
exception every candidate in every
ward was elected, by majorities eise'
where given. So
The question Of city improvement
progress and development. also entered
nh
largely into the local contest. Inc
mayor and retiring city council hao
been aggressive for the upbuilding o
the city and the opposition was regard
ed as a movement to clog the wheels
OF progress. The reelection OF the
mayor and several old members OF the
council shows that the people OF the
city place local prosperity before party
fealty.
The straight republican ticket was Z
good one, composed OF men OF higf
character, but the overwhelming sill
yer sentiment CT Las Vegas, togetheI
with the disposition to''let wellenougi
alone" was too strong to be overcome
