Southern Pacific Representative Loses
Power to Dominate

luefe was nled with the Secretar
OF State recently certificate of nom
ination of the Democratic and Silve
Party fusion ticket as follows:
For Congressman, Francis G.. New
lands of Washoe; Justice Suprem,
Court, A. L. Fitzgerald Of Eureka
Electors, John H. Dennis, of Washo,
John G. Weber of White Pine ant
Richard Kirman of Ormsby; Regen,
State University. long term, j. N
Evans Of Washoe; short term, w.
w. Booher of Elko.
The chef feature of the fusion con.
vention was the complete over
throw of the Southern Pacifc's local
boss, G. G. Wallace. This wipes him
out OF all parties except the Republi
cans. The fusion ticket is bound to
win, which means an end to his do
mination.
The Democratic platform was nota
BILE chiefly for this denunciation of
Senator Stewart:
"We congratulate the bimetallists
OF Nevada upon being rid of an inn
postor who has practiced upon their
credulity for the last twelve years.
We allude to Senator William M.
Stewart, who has at last thrown off
the silver-plated mask, which he so
clumsily wore during three senator
ial campaigns, and now he appears
in his true character of a Republican
camp follower and subservient tool
of the present gold standard, imper-
ialistic and taust-fostering admins
tration. We wish our opponents
the same unalloyed Joy upon their
acquisition that is experienced by
all true silver men in their riddance
of traitor, and his conversion from
pretended friend to an open and
therefore harmless enemy"
Next follows this strong indorse-
ment of Congressman Newlands:
"We recognize in our Represen-
tative in Congress, Hon. Francis G,
Newlands, an. honest and capable
legislator, who has been faithful to
his trusts and devoted to the best in
terest of Nevada. We resent the in
sinuation in the Republican platform
that he is not the bona-fde member
OF the common wealth, and we de-
clare that his residence of twelve
years in this State, his home in
Washoe county, his Identification
with the various interests of Nevada,
his active Identification with the
silver question, both before and after
he entered Congress, his long and
honorable service in Congress, during
which he advanced from one import
ant committee to another 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 favorable con-
sideration OF the voters of Nevada at
the ensuing election" !"
The Southern Pacific representa-
tive, G. G. Wallace, is next taken
care of as follows:
1.-The Central Pacific railroad debt
having been funded and the control
of that railroad having become vested
in the Southern Pacific, we recognize
the fact that for many years trans
portation in the State will be in the
control OF Southern Pacific system.
While we favor the national legisla-
ton by which the Central Pacific
would have been held as an indepen-
dent 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 lib
eral policy and wise management OF
the Southern Pacific in the building
up of the commonwealth, the de-
velopment Of its resources, the in
crease Of population and in the
economic advancement and, beneficial
government Of the State.
ave suggest the appointment OF
a general manager or agent in this
State trained in the science OF rail-
reading, and whose residence here
will bring him in touch with the
public spirited citizens Of the COM
monwsalth, with its varied industries
