In this the county seat of one of the greatest silver mining districts in the United States, we deem it great importance that the voters express, at tue polls their appreciation r f the great work thus far accomplished toward the restoration of silver to its rightful place as a money metal, and we condemn the cowardice of our opponents in that they have treated this great question with silence.

The Democratic Party not outy promises to collect adequate rov nue from the saloons, but it promises to go to the very root of the evil by removing therefrom the man attractive influences which mark the starting point in the downward path of the youthful victims to vice and folly.

Wo are more than ever convinced that the free unli uitfdarid independent coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 is the only agency that can permanently prosperity to masses of the people.
