ti,ose VINO forced lie ronnt INTO war
and made necessary the policy which
The Administrator afterwards pursued.
Nth a %tnalignanrv which amounted
almost TO reason. they lieaped tpitlIets
and abuse upon him whien would not
have beentoleraled in any other country
on earth. The only man the Democrats
ever abused worse than Mckinley was
AbraiIai.i Lincoln. " hen his head was
bowed with raIt. when his hair was
turning gray ovtr his couniry's sorrows,
with the burdens of endless contest upon
his shoulders Ills ialnrs were doubled
aud made more ~iifiicult by Il spite which
seemed inspired. hy n hate which was
almost diaiolieal. And now his perse-
cItnrs, instead OF hiding their heads in
shame, pretend 10 claim him AS their
own ideal. But both men pursued their
course unialteringly to the end. Both
gave their lives TO the country they
wo%rshlpped and both have received the
crown ol immortal glory. Their memories
will live in immortal green in the hearts
of their countrymen throughout all
future time.
We con gra,ulate the Nation without
regard 10 party. upon the successor OF
MIR Mckinley. Upon his enlightened
stand upon public affairs. Upon the
effective plans he has put in iorce to
develJp The Nations resources. No
STATE owes him more than does Nevada.
NO city more than Reno. His statelnan-
ship has mattriallzeti in a Canal Bill
MIich will unite tie two oceans and
bring the whole Pacific Coast weeks
nearer to the Atlantic markets and to
Europe. The Irrigation Bill will write
broad his fame upon every valley west
OF The hundreth meridian and no a
is no man is near enough TO him 10 say
"w itliout my help there would be no
irrigation BILL" No matter who had
been in Congress from Wyoming, from
Kansas, from California or from Nevada
tile irrigation Bill would have passed
and it would have been a Republican
measure, demanded by q National Re-
publican Convention, passed by "A Re-
publican House and Republican Senate
signed by a Republican President and it
will lie carried ont in Il wise, broad and
efficient manner by a Republican, Adj
ministration. When. the town of Reno
grew sufficiently large to demand it on
merit the Postotfice Department sent an
inspector who reported f~avorat,ly and a
OiIl iOI u Dubils UttlilIHG DtSSCA AOl-
gress in response to the recommendation
Of a Republican Postmaster General and
no matter who had been in Congress it
would have zone through ,ust tile same.
1t has been the same in the thousand
and one things both great and small,
that a President unC an administration
have to do. The affairs OF State at
home and alroad the mail service, the
| lari h.tR.cu tim nr,,.F an.l AIN ,,.,,.
all have shown the master hand Of an
honest, faithful, intelligent President
and when lie gets through With the
question that of trusts there Will be no
hot air left in the Democratic sails.
We have read with surprise and regret
the open support given by socalled Re-
publican papers in San Francisco, TO the
| Nevaua Democratic ticket, sometimes
accompanied bv bald misrepresentation
and abuse of Republicans. We feel, AZ
n%eighbors and supporters OF the city and
its. press that We deserve a better rerug-
milton of the heroic struggle the Repub-
licans Of Nevada have had to make
against an opposition strongly en-
trenched in wealth and power.
The policy of the Republican party
has started new line Of industry which
have brought to the notice of The world
our vast riches in copper silver gold and
other precious metals, and have peopled
our hills with prospectors who never
would have been there if they had list
ened to the doleful cry OF desolation sent
up by The Silver and Democratic politi-
clans.
We endorse the National policy OF ir-
rigation and the law passed for the re-
clamation Of the arid lands OF the West,
and We SUCCESS to the State Legislature
that at the coming session measures lie
taken to demonstrate to the Department
of the Interior the splendid possibilities
of OUT rich and fertile valleys and the
facilities for water storage on all of our
streams.
We endorse the Republican National
party in its support Of an eight hour law
on all public works and the exclusion OF
Chinese labor on all contract work.
Our educational interests deserve our
first attention and the Public Schools.
the State University, the Kindergarten
and a Free Public Library will always
receive our unqualified support.
We favor the incorporation of the
City OF Reno, the wise and prudent ad-
ministration OF the fire and police de-
%partnient, the improvement OF our roads
and streets by economical and intelli-
gent methods and the support of the
Board of Health in all sanitary matters.
We oppose the reduction OF the inter
est upon State land contracts and pledge
our members OF the State Legislature to
vote against any change from six per
cent per n um
We object to the pollution of the
waters of the Truckee river and we call
upon the State Legislature to Jake such
action upon the matter as may be re-
quired.
The development of the State can be
