Webber, OF White Pine, and Richard
Kirman,of Ormsby; Regent of State
University, long term, ]. N. Evans,
of Washoe; short term, w. w.
Booher, of Elko.
The Democratic platform was nota-
BILE chiefly for this denunciation of
Senator Stewart
We congratulate the bimetallists
of Nevads Upon being rid Of an i'm
poster 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 senatorial
campaigns, and now he appears in
his true character of Republican
camp follower and subservient tool
of the present gold standard, imperri
ialstic and trust-fostering admins
tration. We wish our opponents the
same uualloyed JOY upon their acqui-
sition that is experienced by all trus
silver men in their radiance of
traitor, and his conversion from
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 boa,fide mem
Der of the commonwealth, and we de-
clare that his residence OF twelve
years in this State, his home in
Washoe county, his Identification

Nevada at the ensuing election.
The Southern Pacific is referred to
as follows:
THE Central Pacific railroad debt
having been funded and the contro
of that railroad having become vest
ed in the Southern Pacific, we recog
nize 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 Pa
citic would have been held as an inde-
pendent 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 aud Wise management OF the
Southern Pacific in the building ur
of the wealth, the develop

the population and in the economic
advancement and beneficial sgovern
ment of the State. -,
We suggest the appointment OF
general manager or agent ID this
