CAPITAL AND LABOR.

We submit the labor record of the Republican
party against the professions of Democracy. Re-
publicansm has built up tariff wall about this
country which gives the American markets to the
products of American labor. 1t has in every
State where in power enacted legislation favoring
shorter hours and sanitary conditions for labor,
prohibited child labor, and passed stringent laws
for the safeguarding of the life and limb OF en-
ployes. 1t has, under Theodore Roosevelt, as in
the coal strike, substituted arbitration for the
bullet and bayonet of the last Democratic admin
istraton in its settemInt of the Pullman strike.
Promising little, performing much, it has been
the true and tried friend of both capital and la
bor whom il holds as equal and concordant parts
of the nations industrial economy. The Repub-
lican party will not support capital in oppression
nor labor in violence. 1t recognizes organized
labor as the unity of industrial action striving to
secure more equitable distribution of the fruits

DO YOUR HOLDING WORK.
It Is Time for Claim Owners to Do Their
Annual Assessment Work.

1t is often the case that a non
residentC laim-ow has to con-
tend with many difficulties before
this work is done and his property
fully protected, and he can not be
too careful in satisfying himself
that he gets full value for the
money expended, and he must re-
member, also, that 500 must be
expended in actual development
work and improvement, upon each
unpatented claim that he holds
title to. Counting so much for
the wage of the miner employed
in development will not do, for a
certain amount of work must be
done, the shaft must be sunk a
certain depth, and the tunnel run
a certain number of feet, accord
ing to the bylaws and regulations
of the district, regardless of the
time taken in the accomplishment
of the work, and the safest plan
is to do more than is required, in
order that no possible question
may arise as to the legality of the
work performed. Many claims are
annually lost to non-residents be
cause of the ineficiency of the
work done, and the claim-owners
cannot be too careful in obtaining
positive proof that the required
amount of work has actually been
formed.-Mining Review.

Personally | heard Colonel Roose-
welt say, as he rode through our
lines: Boys, if l can ride this
horse up that hill you can surely
go on foot And every man fol-
lowed. His horse was shot from
under him, and then there was a
foot race, but it was up the hill
and not down.
Mr.. McCarran's remarks are not
only an injustice and an insult to
our regiment and our honored Col
onel and Captain, but, | believe, to
every American citizen, as the
whole world knows that there was
no foot race down San Juan Hill
during that charge. The Ameri-
can soldiers do not fight that way.

The season of the year is rapid
ly approaching when claim-own-
ers holding property by location
only, must begin work i'll the per
formance of the annual assessment
work required by law. In many
cases, in the past, the beginning
OF the work has been postponed
until almost the last moment, and
instances can been cited where
such procrastination has resulted
in the total loss of the property
involved, or the locator has been
forced to defend his rights in the
courts; and especially is this the
case in popular districts where
there is ever a ready demand for
valuable and promising properties,
and in locations where the claim
jumper keeps a close tab on the
amount of work done in the way
of assessment, the slightest devi-
alton from the amount required by
law giving him a pretext and a
color of right in putting his loca-
ton notice over that of his neigh
Dor, who, in all probability, meant
well, but who was not as careful
as he might have been in observ-
ing the full requirements of the
statutes made and provided.

ROOSEVELT AT SAN JUAN.
That Foot Race Was Up the Hill Instead
of Down.

BATTLE MOUNTAIN, New, Sept.
IS, Ioo4.-To the Editor of the
Reno Evening Gazette, Reno
Dear Sir: | notice this morning
in the edition of the 24th inst. of
the Nevada State Journal the fol-
lowing article:
MCCARRAN.
"Mr. McCarran in his remarks
before the convention said regard
ing Senator Newlands: Go
through the record of the man
whose name has been dragged in
to the colmns of this paper and in
the resolution passed in the 'rump'
convention, and | assure you, gen
tlemen, that man was working for
the movement of irrigation in the
West before Teddy Roosevelt ran
his foot race down San Juan hill.
Being a member of the troop
under Captain Bucky O'Neil, and
being present at the battle ment-
ioned above, | believe it my duty
to answer this slurring remark,
which | consider a gross insult to
every member of the First United
States Volunteer Cavalry, better
known as the Rough Riders, as
we'll as to our most estimable Col
onel, Theodore Roosevelt, who, by
his own energy and ability, and
against adverse circumstances, has

PLATFORM.

The Republican party of Nevada. in State Con
vention assembled, reafirms its adherence to the
principles of Republicanism as expressed in the
national platform and wrought into the govern
ment of the nation from Abraham Lincoln to
Theodore Roosevelt. The history of republican
ism is the party's mightiest platform. Endorsing
the nominees of the national convention, we af-
firm that no man i'll public or private life in this
country is more fitted in honesty, daring, uncom-
promising independence, steadfast in what he
believes to be right and sound judgment to guide
the American people in the fulfllment of their
destiny the next four years than Theodore Roose-
welt, the statesman in peace, the hero in war the
westerner always, and the Republican nominee
for President of the United States.
We respectfully suggest to the voters OF Neva-
da that Alton Brooks Parker is too closely allied
with the selfish corporate and monied institutions
of Wall street and the lawless and predatory mo-
nopolistc trusts of the country to qualify him for
the discharge of the duties of the Office for which
the Democratic party of the United States has
selected him, and that no language which we can
frame more aptly illustrates his disqualihcatlons
than that freely and publicly employed by W. J.
BRYAN, w. X. Hearst and other leading men con-
spicuously prominent in the environment of the
Democratic presidential nominee were subj lect to
free and untrammeied discussion.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

We congratulate the people of the State of Ne
vada upon the passage of the national irrigation
law which will ultimately reclaim the arid lands
of the West and which will within few years
transform the desert wastes of Nevada into fruit
full homesteads We assert that the attempt to
steal the credit of this great act for one man IS
travesty fact and justice. To thousands OF
western citizens who have agitated this subj ject,
to the western Senators and Congressman who
for twenty-five years have persistently urged and
fought for irrigation legislation, and to the engi-
neers who have measured the western streams
which thread the mountains and deserts TO learn
the possibilities of storage and reclamation we
give due and generous credit and the fullness OF
our gratitude. But above all we declare that the
ringing and insistent recommendation of Theo-
dore Roosevelt that Congress consider this sub
ject was responsible for the crystalization OF all
theories and plans into the bill known as the
National Irrigation Law, which was framed and
agreed to by all western Senator's and Congress
men and introduced simultaneously i'll the Senate
and House and which would have failed in the
House had not Theodore Roosevelt finally
brought his great influence to bear to secure its

ISTHMIAN CANAL.

We rejoice in the requirement by the United
States OF sufficient isthman territory upon which
to excavate, construct and operate commercial
tirely regulated and controlled by the govern
ment of the United States, and which will greatly
promote the industrial development OF all sec
lions of the Pacific Coast and especially re-
pret that Senator Francis G. Newlands so far for
got the substantial interests of the State of Neva-
da as to interpose his vote in the Senate of the
United States against the ratification of the treaty
between the United States and the Republic of
Panama in a vain attempt to interdict the build
ing of such canal.

INVITATION TO SILVER REPUBLICANS.

Recognizing the fact that many Of the most pat
rotc and progressive citizens of the State of
Nevada have for several years past cast their ball
lots against the Republican ticket because of their
disbelief in the financial views of the national
Republican party, although being in accord with
it upon all other principles OF party policy we
now in view of the fact that there is no issue be-
tween the national parties upon the subject of
finance cordially invite all such fellow citizens to
renew their political fellowship with and to
share with us in the glores of certain victory
at the coming general election.

UNITED STATES sENAToRsHIP.

We congratulate the people of Nevada upon the
awakening OF her prosperity in field and mine
and that the hour is struck which closes a quar-
ter of a century of State depression. That the
dawn has begun o. new era wherein this
monwealth is destined to take high rank i'll agri-
culture the industries and mining. New leaders
are called for to represent in Congress this new
spirit of State development. For the Senate of
the United states the Republican party presents
the name of Hon. George 5, Nixon as an able,
miiiar with and interested in the varied indus
tries of our State, and who is the first candidate
for that supreme Office presented by a Nevada
convention in the past twenty years who is bona
fide resident and citizen of Nevada, and pledges
the efforts of the Republican party to use all hon
orable means, and the votes OF its members Isl
the State Legislature, to secure his election

essential to the successful government of enter

We favor the economic conduct of the State
government, the generous treatment of the

prove their efficiency and usefulness.
