ready to ruin. The only ones to bellttle
and belle Mckinley and the army we're
those Who forced the country into war
and made necessary the policy which
The Administration afterwards pursued.
With a malignancy which amounted
almost to treason, they heaped eplthets
and abuse upon him whicn would not
have beentolerated in any other country
on earth. The only man the Democrats
ever abused worse than Mckinley was
| Abraham Lincoln. When his head was
bowed with care. when his hair was
turning gray over his country's sorrows,
with the burdens of endless contest upon
his shoulders his labors were doubled
and made more dificutt>by a spite which
seemed inspired. by a hate which was
almost diabolical. And now his perse-
shame, pretend to claim him as their
course unfalteringly to the end. Both
gave their lives to the country they
worshipped and both have received the
crown OF immortal glory. Their memories
will live in immortal green in the hearts
OF their countrymen throughout all
future time.
We congratulate the Nation without
regard to party, upon the successor oil
Mr.. Mckinley. Upon his enlightened
stand upon public affairs. Upon the
effective plans he has put in force to
develop the Nations resources. No
state owes him more than does Nevada.
No city more than Reno. His %stateman-
ship has materialized in a Canal Bill
which will unite the 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 man
is no man is near enough to him TO say
"without my help there would be no
irrigation bill,p No matter who had
been in Congress from Wyoming, from
Kansas, from California or from Nevada
the Irrigation Bill would have passed
and it would have been a Republican
measure, demanded by a National Re-
publican Convention, passed 10y a Re
publican House and Republican Senate
signed by a Republican President and it
will be carried ont in a wise, broad and
efficient n by a Republican Adj
ministration. When the town of Reno
grew sufficiently large TO demand it on
merit the P~ostotfice Department sent an
inspector who reported favorably and a
bill for a public building passed Con-
gress in response to the recommendation
OF a Republican Postmaster General and
no matter who had been in Congress it
would have gone through jusl the same
1t has been the same in the thousand
and one things both great and small,
that a President anC an administration
have to do. The affairs OF State at
home and abroad the mail service, the.
land business, the army and the navy.
all have shown the master hand of an
honest, faithful, intelligent President
and when he 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 10y socalled Re-
publican papers in San Francisco, to the
Nevada Democratic ticket, sometimes
accompanied By bald Misrepresentation
and abuse of Republicans. We feel, as
neighbors and supporters OF the city and
its. press that We deserve a better recog-
milton of the heroic struggle the Repub-
licans OF Nevada have had to make
against an opposition strongly en-

The policy of the Republican party
has started new linz of industry which
have brought to the notice Of The world
our vast riches in copper, silver gold and
other precious metals, and have peopIed
our hills with prospectors who never
wonld 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 he
taken to demonstrate to the Department
OF the Interior the splendid possibilities
of our rich and fertile valleys and the
facilities for water storage en- all of our
streams.
We endorse the Republican National
partySin 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 Keno, the wise and prudent ad-
ministration OF the fire and police de-
partment, the improvement OF our roads
and streets by economical and inielli-
gent methods and the support of the
Board Of Health in all sanitary matte, IS.
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 annum.
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.
