"In 1896 labor ruled the party
and capital withdrew its support,
while in 1904 capital controlled
the party and labor drew out.

day, Bryan would be nominated,

in my opinion no candidate can
write both capital and labor in
one party.
"The struggle will be between
the Republican party, represent

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT,


Nevada and the Tariff
The Democratic party of Nevada will
welcome the news that the Republican
party is going to make the Fall cam.
paign ON The tariff issue. Next to the
demonetization of silver. no greater
Legislative injury was ever inflicted on
the farmers and miners OF this State
than the passage of the Dingley tariff
act. The oppression of the railroads
sinks into insgnitcance in comparison
The miners aud farmers are awakening
to realization of this fact, and they
mean to record their opinion Of the
Dingley tariff at the polls in November.
OF course. Nevada and her needs do
matter in the estimation OF the Repub-
lican leaders. II they can carry Ohio,
Pennsylvania, aud the other great man

farious tariff law they are going to dc

An order has been received by b. A.

States assay office in Helena. Montana,
authorizing the reception of silver con-
tanned in gold deposits whenever the
amount of silver in such deposits does
not exceed in value the proportion Of
one part silver to ten parts gold. and
pay for the same at the current rate
fixed by the bureau at Washington.
The order. which becomes effective
August 1 next. is hailed with delight
by mining men. as the ratio heretofore
has been one part silver to 80 parts

NAV Be Legal Tangle

Several interesting points IN regard
to the election of two judges in the
Second Judicial District OF Nevada have
been raised. Under the Act OF 1905
two judges are to be elected in the dis
trict, which is composed of Washoe.
Churchill aud Humboldt Counties, one
of whom shall reside in Reno and the
other in Winnemucca. AS the Act was
hastily prepared it does not provide for
the assignment of the candidates to
either OF the points of residence. which
gives rise TO the presumption that this
will be left to the wisdom OF the nomi-
mating convention.
