Tlte People's Independent Silver Party of Douglas county, State of Nevada, in county convention assembled, does affirm its allegiance to those'great essential prin ciples of justice and liberty upon which our institutions are founded, viz: freedom of tho press, and the equality of all per persons - sons persons before the law, and the faithful ob observance - servance observance of constitutional limits. We heartily endorse the platform of the National Silver party adopted at St. Louis, July 25, 189(3. We declare the restoration of silver to the place accorded it as a money metal by the founders of tho Government, to be the paramount issue. We demand the remonetization of silver at the present ratio of lf3 to 1 without wailing for the aid of any other nation. We also demand that our representn fives iu Congress stand as squarely with the people on the question of railroad freights ami fares ns ti|>on the silver question. We demand legislation excluding for foreign - eign foreign paupers, criminals, and contract la labor. - bor. labor. We pledge the fostering care of the State to our public schools and the State University, of which we are justly proud, and favor such legislation as will increase their efficiency. We holt! that u public office is a public trust, and that no person or party should be trusted who has violated that trust. We are in favor of an amendment to the constitution of the United States providing for the election of United Stntes Senators by direct vote of the peo people. - ple. people. We also demand that our representa representatives - tives representatives in the legislature of the State of Ne Nevada. - vada. Nevada. use nil honorable means to prevent the annexation of Douglas county to Oniisby county or any other county or counties. We condemn the action of those in charge of tho nation's millitnry nffinrs, in their failure to properly protect the health of the brave volunteers, who went forth to battle for their country, and the deplorable condition of the Jacksonville camp. We also demand n vigorous prosecu prosecution - tion prosecution of the boundary line dispute lietween Douglas and Lyon counties now pending iu court. We call the attention of the people of Douglas county and the State of Nevada to the fact that u judicious use of the Hood waters of the Carson river an wat water - er water that might be impounded in available reservoir sites, would lmmeasureahlv in increase - crease increase the taxable property of this county and wo demand, that our State and Nat National - ional National legislators, use every honorable means in their power to promote goa-em goa-emmeut - meut goa-emmeut aid for the economical storage of water.

Reno, Nevada, Sept. 30, 1898. The conclusion of the Nevada State Fair, involving the exodus of the racing and sporting element, the horsemen, ho hobos - bos hobos nnd sinful people of nil kinds inheri inherited - ted inherited from the California State Fair, to say nothing of the numerous political con conventions, - ventions, conventions, has allowed Reno to pause in tier wild course uud settle down to her annually pnriflsh condition. Carson is now in the full enjoyment of all the hil hilarious - arious hilarious indulgence mentioned, and may she profit much therein ns Reno has done. The present mixed political situation is tne most absorbing topic now under consideration. Much interest centers in the legislative ticket, in view of the elec election - tion election of United States Senator. This county of Washoe eli<cted two Republi Republicans - cans Republicans and three Silver men to the Legis Legislature - lature Legislature two years ago. The Republican mrty is stronger now, but the fusion ol the Silver parly with the Democrat! makes a standoff which may bring about the same legislative result thin time. To j lie or not to he is the question, and its a mighty wise man who can guess accurate accurately - ly accurately who will bo the next Governor Sail ler, McMillan, Russell and McCullough. I I can tell, and am open to proposals. Much stumping of the State is threat threatened - ened threatened by prominent candidates mid inter ested parties for the Senatorial, Con | gressional and State offices. Stewart, j Newlanda, Wren and Woodburu will b< toard, and Jones is also expected to Bay j -omething. It is also stated that A. C. ] Cleveland proposes to enter the forensic arena in a tight to u finish with Stewan for the United States Seuatorship. Whoth- ! or this is true or not will soon be defin itely known, but many people think that Cleveland would have things his own way now, if he had never bolted from thi | Republican party. The Republicans not nominating an) ' indidute for Congressman against New lands was a strong point in his favor, bir iVreu says he don't care, nnd will gi | ibead and lient him for that importatr nisition. Anyhow he proposes to givi Newlanda a hot time and make him con ,eious of the fact he. Wren, is on the wai path and wants his scalp. Newlands will louht less get much Republican indorse I neut, in fact he is looked upon as a good jnougb Republican anyhow, from hi histanding - standing histanding in with all the m-wt important neasurcs of the present government ad-1 ninistration. Ex-Governor Colcord superseedmg ex extoveruor - toveruor extoveruor Adams as Superintendent of : he Carson Mint, has been a foregone] -onclusion for some time past, merely on i.,lineal grounds of course, for Adams lllled that responsible position ably nnd utisfactorily us will Colcord, and retires with due honor. It is time that the long -ontiuued, systematic bullion stealage by employees exteuded into his administrn administrnlion - lion administrnlion but he was chiefly instrumental in the detection and conviction of the guilty larties and landing them in the Slate. Prison. The coinage department of the nint being dismantled, no more money will probably ever be corned there, and it will be run merely as an assaying, melt melting - ing melting and refining establishment, same ns ,i was under Superintendent Garrard. Vanderleith sill be chief clerk. The five or six millions of coined silver loll irs that e up in its vaults may now tic called out and put into general circu Intion. Most all of this silver came from he old Comstock lode, which like the nint. seems pretty well played out, y< here are believed to be treasures stored within and below her lower levels well

Would Tip the Conductor. A few days ago ou the morning train to Reno a very large woman occupied a seat in the ear with a small baby. Some young ladies wero on the train flirting with Conductor Bray, for all the young ladies who travel on the V. & T. have a pleasant smile and word for Conductor Bray, who is the pleasantest and most winsome mail, with the fair sex, who ever punched tickets on the road. Presently the woman with the baby began nursing it. This caused the young ladies to giggle and the Conductor drift drifted - ed drifted down the aisle to ascertain die cause of the hilarity. The laughing of the girls increased as Bray showed up ami this caused the child to turn from the maternal font to see what all the noise was about. The woman tried to get the kid back to its breakfast, but its curiosity was oxcilod and it continued to regard the young Indies with staring eyes. Then the mother resorted to a throat. "Take it. Patsy, take it; or I'll give it to the conductor." The young ladies went into convul convulsions - sions convulsions and Bray had immediate business in the other car. -Carson Appeal.
