there was not. possible contingency in
which the party could be wrong.
He defends it with words OF en-
enlargement and sympathy for all its
shortcomings and when some OF the
trusted officials OF the party were
caught short on public funds or guilty
of wanton embezzlement and betrayal
of public trust. the Gazette editor. Ell
Their dialated ON the extenuat.ns cir

denial of the charges.
Every time there was a sunny day
in Nevada or good crops, he shouted

was cloud burst or a case CT small
pox or washout on the railroad or
a man kicked by 9 mule, he traced the
sad occurrence directly to the influence
of sbimetallism and the teachings OF

He charged waste and extravaganza
and dishonesty to every public officer
in Nevada who was not elected by Re
publican votes and charged every one
who did not look through Republican
spectacles with being in politics solely
tor the purpose of grabbing an Office.

traditional principles of his tariff
creed and give the ticket moral wei
and woof voted in large numbers fol

honesty to tell the voters that he
wanted the Office for its emoluments.
