END OF WALLACE.
PLATFORM OF FUSION cONVEN-
TONS MEANS OVERTHROW
OF THE BOSS.

of State recently eeitheate Oh NOM
nation of the Democratic and Silver
Party fusion ticket as follows
For CONGRESSMAN, Francis G.. New
lands of Washoe: Justice Supreme
Court. A. L. Fitzgerald of Eureka;
Electors, John II. Deilnis OF Washoe'
John C. Weber of White Pine and
Richard Kirman of Ormsby: Regent,
State University, long term, J. n.
Evans of Washoe; short term, W. W.
Booher of Elko.
The chief feature of the fusion con-
vention was the complete overthrow OF
the Southern Pacifcs local boss c. c.
Wallace. This wipes him out of all
parties except the Republican. The
fusion ticket is bound to win, which
means an end to his domination.
The Democratic platform was notable
chiefly for this denunciation of Senator
Stewart:
eve congratulate the bimetallists OF
Nevada upon being rid of an impostor
who has practiced upon their credullty
Tor the ldSb bNbiNo yours W . aAubS
to Senator William NJ. Stewart, who
has at last thrown off the silver-plated
mask, which he so clumsily wore dur
ing three senatorial campaigns, and
now he appears in his true character of
Republican camp follower ana sub
servient tool of the present gold stand
ard, imperialistic and trust-fostering
administration. We wish our oppon
ents the same unalloyed joy upon their
ACQUISITION that is experienced by all
true silver men in their radiance of Il
traitor, and his conversion from "a pre-
tended friend to an open and therefore
harmless enemy"
Next follows this Endorsement Of
Congressman Newlands:
I'VE recognize in our Representative
In Congress- the Hon. Francis q. New
lands, an honest and capable legislator,
who has been faithful TO his trust and
devoted to the best interests OF Nevada.
We resent the insinuation in the Re-
publican platform, that he is not a
pona-fde member OF the commonwealth
and we declare that his residence of II
years in this State, his home in Washoe.
county, his Identification with the in
terests of Nevada, his active Identified
tion with the silver question, both be-
fore 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 a 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 favor
able consideration OF the voters of Ne
vada at the ensuing election.
The Southern Pacific representative,
C. c. Wallace, is next taken care of as
follows:
1.-THE Central Pacific railroad debt
having been funded and the control of
that railroad having been vested In the
Southern Pacific, we recognize the fact
that for many years transportation In
the State will be in the control OF the
Southern Pacific system. While we
favored national legislation by which
the Central Pacific would have been
held as an independent line according
to its original purpose, we realize that
recent events have rendered this hope
impossible, and that the development
OF this State will mainly depend upon
liberal policy and wise management of
the Southern Pacific system. We in
wife the cooperation of the manage
ment of the Southern Pacific in the
building up of the commonwealth, the
development of its resources, the in
crease Of the population and In the
economic advancement and beneficial
government Of the State.
I'VE suggest the appointment Of
general manager or agent in this State,
trained in the science of railroading.
and whose residence here will bring
him in touch with the public-spirited
citizens OF the commonwealth, with its
varied industries and enterprises, and
with the needs and requirements OF the
people, as well as in sympathy with the
measures tending TO good government,
in the place OF permitting the ofiicious
intermingling with our local political
affairs by railroad underling whose
residence is in California, who has no
knowledge of our interests in State de-
velopment, whose activity in the State
is purely political in character, and
who obtrudes his offensive personality
into every branch Of our State, munic-
ipal and county government, and inter-
feres in legislation with which the rail-
road has no concern.
"The principle OF home rule requires
that this ofiicious intermingling with
our affairs by on-resident boss should
end. -
resolution presented in the Silver
Party platform gives a curious illustra-
ton Of changes time will bring. Two
years ago Francis G. Newlands was de-
nounced by the State Central Commit
tee OF the Silver Party for contesting
the Senatorship with Stewart, who as
as a result of such action was elected
Senator. Today the Silver Party con-
vention, by unanimous vote, expunges
that action, commends Newlands and
demands the resignation of Stewart
from the Ctiice to which 1t elected him.
Following are the resolutions refer
red to:
Whereas, AT meeting of the State
Central Committee of the Silver Party
held at Carson City during the Sena
torial contest in January, 1899, resolu-
tions were passed by said committee
