A NEVADA SLOVENIAN

RECORD OF THE GOLD
TRUST PARTY.
A Terrible Indictment OF
Twenty Years Of Repub-

To tho Editor of the I ppEAI Sir

Mr. Chandler, an importation from
Chicago, spoke in the Opera House |
Thursday evening, and undertook to tell
the glorious things which the RepuDh- |
can party had done for the Nation, e.
pecially for the laboring claases. He can
probably make more miss atem ent>' in

treason to the Republic. to the gre1t mass
of working people in this county. to
humanity, civilization and ,iher,y, OF
which that party has been guilty since
the death of Lincoln. For wholesale po-
litical corruption, for dishonest iobbery,
for venalitv and class legislation, it
stands without parallel in the history
of political parties, or in the history of
despotic rulers.

What are the fruits of the Republican
party?
For twenty years after the close of the
civil war it waved the bloody shirt and
kept alive the smouldering embers of
sectional haze. For twenty years it
rebels all citizens, North and South, who
refused to vote the Republican ticket or
who complained of vicious class legis-
latiOn. For twenty years it treated brave
men who laid down their arms and ac-
cepted in good faith the results Of the
war; as it is now treating the people of
Cuba, Porto Rico aud me Philippines,
and thus DELAYED the reunion of North
and South. For twenty years it dis
franchised white citizens of the South
by keeping United States Deputy Mar
shals at the polls 10 intimidate voters not
partial TO Republican rule. For forty
years it has maintained the most unjust
and stupendous system Of .azation aEd
robbery ever known on this planet
That system that crushing tariff. tina
browning iniamy of class Legislation
was the prolific parent of every trust tina
has since robbed the people and dis
graced the Nation. Some of these ma,

and reduced to a state of absolute vas

tense Of protecting home industries.
