Partisan sisters. Little variations in detail are
eagerly sought after and readily accepted, but
the real jumps-into bustles, for example; from

series of gradations which never rufle her

to this rule. however. and the few women who
do promptly adopt a new mode are tho leaders

Despite the repeated prophecies in regard to

One unwelcome feature of fashion which
seems to lie threatening the street gowns of the

pends the reestabhshment of silver

system of the Republic. We regard
all local political organizations, pro-
Tossing to favor bimetallit m. as not
only useless, but absolutely obstruct-
i've to the cause they pretend to fos-
ter. The so-called Silver party of
Nevada is especially detrimental to
the silver interest. Its State Admin
lstration III the last few years has
been replete with scandals which are
a disgrace to the Commonwealth.
Its continued existence is an insult
to the great Silver party of the Ma.
ton which i'll 1896 polled nearly six
millions Of votes for the bi-metallic
couse, and its death would be mourn
ed only by few Office seekers who
have maintained it in the hope of be-
ing elected to positions which they
could not obtain from any other
party in the State.
We favor the election of United

stead of Legislatures. We believe
that Nevada has suffered more from

State in the Union and we most earn
estly demand such change as will, to

In favor OF utilizing and developing

We, therefore advocate a policy of
internal improvements by which the
surplus water of our rivers may be
impounded in reservoirs and used in
reclaimng and irrigating the unoc.
cupied agricultural lands Of the State
and opening the same to settlement
and cultivation, thereby inducing
immigration for the development of
the agricultural products Of the State
and increase of our population, and
we favor liberal legislation and the
appropriation OK State funds for such
purposes. %" ... -...... ~.
We demand that our National Gov

fic Coast; .i
We most earnestly advise the Dem
ocrats in every county in the State to
organize and. form County Central
Committees and to nominate full leg
