There was filed with the Secreta-
ry OF State recently certificate of
nomination of the Democratic and
Silver Party fusion ticket as fol-
lows:
! For Congressman, F. G. Newlands,
of Washoe; Justice Supreme Court,
a. l.. Fitzgerald, OF Eureka; Elect
ors, ]. II. Dennis, OF Washoe; J. c.
Webher, OF White Pine, and Rich
ard kirman, OF Ormsby; Regent of
State University, long term, J. N.
Evans, of Washoe; short term, w.
w. Booher, of Elko.
The chief feature of the fusion
convention was the complete over
throw of the Southern Pacific's local
manager. This eliminates him from
all parties except the Republican.
The fusion ticket is bound to win,
which means an end to railroad dom
ination.
The Democratic platform was nota-
BILE chiefly for this denunciation of
| Senator Stewart:
I'VE congratulate the bimetallists
of Nevada upon being rid of an i'm
postor who has practiced upon their
credulity for the last twelve years.
We allude to Senator William NJ.
Stewart, who has at last thrown off
the silver-plated mask, which he so
clumsily wore during three sena-
torial campaigns, and now he ap-
pears in his true character of Re
publican camp follower and sub
servient tool of the present gold
standard, imperialistic and trust
fostering administration. We wish
our opponents the same unalloyed
JOY upon their acquisition that il cx-
perienced by all true silver men in
their riddance OF traitor, and his
conversion from a pretended friend
to an open and therefore harmless
enemy"
Next follows this strong indorse-
ment of Congressman Newlands:
I'VE recognize in our Representa-
tive in Congress, the Hon, Francis
G.. Newlands, an honest and capable
legislator, who has been faithful to
his trust and devoted to the best in
terests OF Nevada. We resent the
insinuation in the Republican plat
form, that he is not bona-fide mem
Der of the commonwealth, and we
declare that his residence of twelve
years in this State, his home in
Washoe county, his naturalization
with the various interests of Ne
vada, his active indentiication with
the silver qu, stion, both before and
after he entered Congress, his long
and honorable service in Congress,
during which he has been advanced
from one important committee to an
other until now he is member of
the leading and governing committee
of the House, the Ways and Means,
and his record as evidenced by his
votes in Congress, commend him to
the favorable consid grafton OF the
voters OF Nevada at the ensuing cleo
tion."
The Southern Pacific representa-
tive is next taken care OF AS follows:
The Central Pacific railroad debt
having been funded and the control
of that railroad having become vest
ed in the Southern Pacific, we recog-
nizc the fact that for many years
transportation in the State will he
in the control OF the Southern Pacific
system. While we favored national
legisla tion by which the Central Pa
citic would have been held as AN in
dependent line according to its orig
inal purpose, we realize that recent
events have rendered this hope i'm
possible, and that the development
of this State will mainly depend
upon liberal policy and wise manage
ment of the Southern Pacific system.
We invite the cooperation of the
management of the Southern Pacific
in the building up of the common
wealth, the development of its re-
sources, the increase of the popula-
tion and in the economic advance
ment and beneficial government of
the State.
