DAMAGE Is SERIOUS
IOnOpah and c. & c. Rail-
roads Badly Crippled

Late advices from Tonopah and Soda
RADIO and the Tonopah railroads are in
serious trouble from the washouts that
occurred there Monday afternoon ami
that 1t will be several days before traffic
can be reopened on either.
The Tonopah railroad is a heavy SUI
ferer. Not only has it's rolling stock
been damaged. but it's track has been
swept away in many places and the en-
bankments leveled to the earth The
work of repairing 1t has been com
nenced. but a telegram from General
Manager Trip to Division Passenger
Agent Fulton does not state when the
road will be in operation again. MI,
Tripp says that not until he advises mus,
any perishable freight or livestock be
consigned to the Tonopah road on ac-
count of its wrecked condition. This is
lhan elapsed before will pass before the
road will be able to handle trains.
The c. & &. expects TO be running
rains within a few days. It's tracks
we're swept away for a long distance
below Sodavil,e and covered with rocks
and mud. but its m'sfortunes are small
compared with those OF the Tonopah
line.
Tonopah and Goldfefild are greatly
worried over the state of affairs in whic.
hey find themselves. They have suffer
ed for several days from lack of sup
plies and they are about convinced now
that the old freight lines will have TO
be revived IL they expect to secure fooo
and other necessaries at once.

the free and unlimited coinage of silver

mand for labor and add greatly TO the

ficaily declare our con .inii - adhesion 10
the principles of b.m=tai.is n. and lie at
firm our position upon ne money cues

In support of our pJsi.. i.i.an ,ris

merely In allegiance, IS '.-sl:,iet by OIL
great leader in the last lwo national
campaigns, William ieaIlhss EIyan OF

that the silver issue is still alive. we
point to the struggle over the gold plank
in the Democratic convention. the PLANK
being defeated by the decisive vote of 8,
to 10. which action was ratified by the
convention itself.
We are opposed to all such schemes as
the Bowler BIZ for the destruction ol
the silver dollars already coined. and We
are In like manner opposed to President
Roosevelts plan of inducing Mexico ana
China to adopt the gold standard. Botn
Of these schemes would increase the de-
mand tor gold and reduce the demand
for silver. thus creating monetary strin-
silver. greatly to the the injury of our
state as a producer of the metal.
We accept the statement in the Nation
al Republican platform that the Repub-
lican party forced the gold standard upon
the country in the face OF Democratic
opposition and that the Democratic party
cannot be relied upon to mainga.n The
gold standard. This in our Judgment.
proves that the silver sentiment of the
country Is mainly in the National DEM
ocratic Party and we look to that party
for protection from the efforts of the
Republican party further to extend the
demonetizat.on OF silver.
