er enslaved the people when he was IL
power, and when the West and South re-
fused to tolerate him any more and put
up Silver nominee, this great and living
party of the masses divided its strength
and the Gold Wing throttled peoples
triumph by running a seperate and dis
tinct ticket. II we recognize the Demo
Gratis now it will be the same old song
again. 1t is absurd to tie up to a party
that has within its folds an element that
is always seeking to down another por-
ton Of the organization. What is to be
gained by floating with Democrats, they
can never be successful the way they now
stand? Better go it alone and make
manifest to the world that the people OF
| Nevada are not to be hoodwinked any
more by the promises of the older parties.
The swallowing up the Silver Party by
any OF the older parties would be sore
day for Nevada. The last light burning
for silver would be turned and all would
be darkness and gloom.
Official life must be charming one.
Only one deputy in the State Capitol
has not as yet announced himself for
Office The Deputy State Controller
Stone wants to be Supt. OF Public In
struction. Private Secretary Kelley aims
at the Surveyor Generaiship. Sam Dav-
is wants his principals place. This state
OF affairs is made very lldricuous when it
is known that every last State officer
would like to get in again, and but one
of them so far has not become an aroused
candidate for another term. Talk about
the Office seeking the man, that might
work well in far away Utopia where every
one is his neighbor's servant.
Some attribute the wholesale seeking
for Office to the prevailing hard times. |

have usurped much of your space but
hope you will pardon me if / say some
thing concerning some people who are
trying to belittle Senator Stewart IN this
State. He is accused of many things SO
false and lying that it surprises me to
think that news papers claiming to be re
spectacle would stoop SO low TO publish.
One writer has accused the Southern
Pacific Rail Road Of inflictiug Stewart
upon the people Of Nevada. Not a hun
dred years ago this writer had letter in
a paper showing that refunding of the
Rail road debt would be better for Ne
vada than Government ownership. Now
If that was not bid for rail- road graft, ]
am no Judge of human nature. As the
railroad did not nibble at the bait he has
changed his wind instrument and tries to
ridicule our worthy Senator. "Consis-
tency, thou art jewel" These attacks
upon Stewart are manufactured deyises
thrown out to defect the attention of the
people from silver. They are used to di-
vide the Silver Party so the stalwart
McKinleyites will be enabled TO crawl in
to power through the opening Let all
Silver men stand to their guns and battle
for the White metal and when that has
been accomplished we can remedy these
lesser evils.
