AN ADDRESS TO VOTERS.
Republican State Central Conn
mittee OPENS Campaign.

Fellow Citizens OF Nevada: Realiz-
ing that once again we are about TO
enter upon great political campaign,
for the purpose Of determining the fu-
ture policies OF this grand republic; be-
lieving as we do that it becomes the
duty of every citizen to conscientlously
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 people
governed; recognizing the necessity
and rights Of the two dominant polltl-
cal parties of the United States to APP
peal to the people upon these questions
we modestly submit for the consider
alton of the people of this State the
questions at issue between these two
great parties, and ask them with that
feeling of honesty that constitutes
good citizen, to consider the history OF
these two parties, and the practical IL
lustration of their separate administra-
tions, and compare them with the be-
nefits derived from each respectively,
and after such deliberation upon the
questions to array themselves upon the
side OF the party that from the evidence
obtainable, promises the best govern
ment.
We point with pride to the Republic
can party which has, with the excep-
tion of two terms, since 1861, had con-
troll of the governmental affairs OF the
United States: we ask you TO take into
consideration the many changes and
conditions that have taken place dur
ing that time, and from sre'' r'mpari-
son to determine whether Il /. NOT true
that this great party is tae party OF
the hour; the party of progress; the
party of the people, and for the people;
the party equal 10 the emergencies and
exigencies that arise from the many
new conditions and circumstances
brought about in this progressive age,
by an aggressive, intelligent people.
Compare its past history with the his
tory of the reign OF Grover Cleveland
and the Democratic party, and decide
whether you will ally yourselves with
the former or latter party in the CON-
ing campaign. Remem Der that neither
Of these great parties have any proba-
tionery periods OF membership; that
you are Republican or Democrat
from the moment you decide to cast
your ballot with the one or the other
of these parties: that you are entitled
to admission to the counsels OF the Re.
publican party from the time that you
make your decision and are eligable to
receive the nomination of that party
for any Office to be filed by the ballots
OF the people at the next election.
We particularly invite those of our
citizens who so valantly fought the
battle of one of the principal products
of this State from 1892 to 1900, who in
an effort to maintain the silver pro.
duct at a parity with the gold product,
forsook their party and entered into
an alliance with the parties that prom.
ised them victory for that principle
to assist us in handling and controlling
the live questions OF to. day, that con-
front us as whole people.
We admonish the members of oui
party to lay aside all personalities and
labor to the end, as becomes an Amer
lean citizen, that the great march o.
progress and prosperity goes on unit
the most skeptical are convinced of the
correctness OF our principles and the
honesty and patriotism of our party.
