ADDRESS
TO VOTERS.
Adopted by the Republican
State Central Committee
in Reno Last Friday

Following is an address considered
at the meeting of the Republican State
central committee, which was held in
Rero last Friday. The committee
unanimously decided upon its accept
ance and submission to the voters of
the State:
Fellow Citizens OF Nevada: Realiz-
ing that once again we are about to
enter upon great political campaign.
fer the purpose Of determining the fu.
ture policies CT this grand republic:
Believing as We do that 1t becomes the
duty of every citizen to conscientiously
and honestly consider matters govern
mental and political, to the end that
the future conduct of those affairs may
be such as will confer the greatest
good to the greatest number of the
people governed: Recognizing the
necessity and rights Of the two domin-
ant political parties Of the United
States TO appeal to the people on these
questions. we modestly submit for the
consideration Of the people of this
State the questions at Issue between
these two great parties, and ask them.
with that feeling Of honesty that con-
stitutes good citizen, to consider the
history Of these two parties and the
practical illustration Of their separate
administrations derived from each re-
spectively. and after such deliberation
upon the questions to array themselves
upon the side of theparty that from the
evidence obtainable, promises the best
government.
We point with pride to the Repub-
lican party, which has, with the ex
cepton Of two terms, since 1861. had
control Of the governmental affairs of
the United States; we ask you to take
into consideration the many changes
and conditions that have taken place
during that time, and from such COM
parison to determine whether 1t is not
true that this great party of progress;
the party Of the people, and for tho
people; the party equal to the emer-
gencies and exigencies that arise from
the many new conditions and circum-
stances brought about in this pro-
gressive age by an aggressive, intelli-
gent people. Compare its past history
with the history Of the reign Of Grover
Cleveland and the Democratic party
and decide whether you will ally your
selves with the former or latter party
in the coming campaign. Remember
that neither Of these two great parties
have any probationary periods Of mem
bership; that you are Republican or
Democrat from the moment you de-
eide to cast your ballot with one or the
other Of these parties; that you are en-
titled to admission to the counsels Of
the Republican party from the time
you make your decision and are ell
gible to receive nomination Of that
party for any office to be filled by the
ballots Of the people at the next cleo
| tion.
We particularly invite those our citi-
zens who so valiantly fought the battle
Of one Of the principle products Of this
State from 1892 to 1900, who in an ef-
fort to maintain the silver product at a
parity, entered into an alliance with
the party or parties that promised them
victory for that principle, to assist us
in controlling the live questions of to-
day, that confront US as whole peo-
pier
We admonish the members of our
party to lay aside all personalities and
labor to the end, as becomes an Amer
ican citizen, that the great march Of
progress and prosperity goes on until
the most skeptical are convinced OF
the correctness Of our principles and
the honesty and patriotism of oli
