which the latter reviews the National
and State political situation. Mr.. New
lands speaks first of the Republican
party, which forty years of almost I'M
interrupted power have turned into an
ultra-conservative party-a party dis
posed to protect abuses rather than TO
correct them" He states that Presi-
dent R~oosevel's reform tendencies have
been checked, and that his party is now
willing to keep him in power because 1t
eau restrain aud control him N the
future as il has done in the past.
Attitude of the Democratic Party.
From the words of Mr.. Newlands the
attitude of the Democratic party will be
against abuses, for a revision of the
tariff, for fair taxation OF aggregated
wealth, for internal improvement and
development. '.and will also declare
against the financial policies of the Re-
publican party as shown i'll the proposed
Fowler bill. aud in the efforts to extend
the demonstration of silver into silver
using committees. such as Mexico and
China. Il 80
Will Not Declare for Free Coinage
"The National Democratic party will
not declare this time for the free coin
g of silver, simply because, as is stated
in the Mississippi platform prepared by
the Democratic leader OF the House, MI.
Williams, the country is to be congrat-
Mated upon the viudication of the
Democratic contention for an increased
volume of real metallic money, by the
addition to the worlds stock of money
metals of 50, 600. 900, 900 in gold within
eight years, from which the United
States have been able to obtain 100000
OCO, thus raising their per capita from
s23 to $50; this result being reached by
no act of the Government but by the act
of God through human Observation-Disclosures
of discovery and invention.
Silver Question Not the Burning Issue
"The silver question is not the burn
ing question. IS not the burning issue
which it was eight years ago. The
money famine has been largely satisfied
by the increased production of gold and
until either the production OF gold d.
minishes or the demand for it largely
increases, which contingency is certain
to occur and very soon if the Republican
policy as to the extension OF the gold
standard as carried out, there will be no
urgent necessity which will force this
issue to the front. The Democratic
party, however, will not repudiate or
recall its former declarations upon this
subject.
Will Simply Rest in Abeyanee.
.sThe silver question will simply rest
in allegiance for the present, but mean
while all bi-metallists may feel assured
that all the friends of silver are to-day
in the Democratic party and that none
of the friends of silver are IN the Re-
publican party; that meanwhile the
Democratic party will set itself against
the measures which are intended to
fasten the gold standard more firmly
upon this country apd will hold the way
open to future favorable action"
Mr.. Newlands dwells at length on the
Presidential candidates, concluding with
the assertion ''that the Fusionists can
| safely support the Democratic candi-
date, whoever be is, aud the Democratic
| platform, whatever it may be,' giving
| rise to the inference that the interests OF
Nevada will be best subserved by. the
! success of the Democratic party, becouse
the Republican party is controlled by
Eastern influences, "This," says Mr.
| Newlands, sis shown by ito attitude
upon the money question. by its course
respecting the Territories which desired
admission as States, and by the opposi
ition of ali the Republican leaders in the
House to the National Irrigation Act
The Journal reporter here advanced
the claims OF the Republicans to the Ir
rigation Act as a party measure, which
Mr.. Newlands says are simply ridicu
ious," and goes on to say that nearly al
the oppositioIS to the measure came from
the Republican side OF the House. H'
