catch votes and as long as you stick .
by the platform. you catch the votes. :
He had no fears that the Republi
cans would take advantage of the plan !
he had revealed, as they were not like !
iy to be in power long enough to try !.
it. and they were opposed to that kind
OF politics anyhow.
Eight years ago the Silvermen and
Democrats swept the State on a plat
form pledgirg a cutting down OF ex-
penses and taxation. The people were
weary of the extravaganza and mis-
rule of the Republican party, and de-
cided to give the new party chance.
| The new party went into power on the
platform and has remained in power
ever since, by strictly adhering to it.
Let us see what had been saved in
eight years. The books are open to
the public and here are the figures ia
ken from the official reports
The speaker then read the tabulated
statement showing saving in the
| legislative department in eight years
of $4,000; in the Executive depart
! ment Of $4,000; in the judicial de-
partment of $4,000; in the running
expenses of the prison $4,000, in all
a saving OF $685., 900 in round numbers.
Thus the pledge of economy had been
kept and men could no longer get
! place in the Legislature at 81 day
to wind an eight day clock, as the
State government was being run by
business men on business basis.
When the Republicans went out of
power they practiced the -alse econ
omy of allowing the public buildings
to sink into rack and ruin that the
Silver party have the cost of repair
ing fall on them. This contemplate
$4,000, but it enabled the Republican
press to have spasm of delight,
pointing to Silver extravaganza in
spending the money necessary to re-
habilitate the wrecks of buildings left
on the hands of the State by the Re,
publican administration,
i In educational matters the Fusion
party had spent more than half a
million more than their predecessors
, for the cause of education, and they
had the best public school system in
1.-THE United States, and e State Uni
versity at Reno to show for it. He
, estimated that dollar spent for edu
cation saved two dollars worth o.
jails and lunatic asylums.
The Republicans could show M
such record Rhodes, Republican
treasurere, had lifted $10S,000 out o
the "irreducable" school fund and
:. Republican Legislature, unmindful o
. the States interests had condoned thu
: offense by passing bill relieving hi
bondsmen of liability, and the schoo
fund was still short that amount
Then Crockett. Republican treas
urer, was caught placing the people
. money in a Reno bank where it wa
being loaned out to the taxpayers a
one per cent a month. He manage
- to get it out just as the bank wa
about to go under and his offense i
placing it there. contrary to law, wa
40 also condoned by his party. Their
- was also shortage of $4,000 in tn
'e State prison fund, caused by lettin
- favored people buy all the prison l.
Dor shoes and boots they wanted wit
out paying for them.
