The Walker Lake Bulletin is in receipt of the following from the Chairman and Secretary of the Democratic County Central Committee:

CANDELARIA, July 16, 1892.

To the members of the Democratic Central Committee of Esmeralda county:

Gentlemen:

We, as undersigned Chairman and Secretary of your Committee hereby tender to the Democrats of Esmeralda county (if any there be after the action of the Democratic Congress on the Stewart Silver bill, a bill of vital importance and of paramount issue to the people of the State of Nevada, our resignations, as we have decided to throw party aside and to henceforth work for the whole people of the State; and having become members of the third or Silver Party we will henceforth join hands with our old enemy and vote and work for any candidate from Presidential Electors to Constable who has the interest of our State 'first," "party afterward."

It is not without a struggle that we part with our old love, but to save our State from disruption and depopulation we must say good bye.

Hoping that the Democrats of the County will assert their independence and fail to call a convention to nominate a ticket but will show a solid front to the enemy by only having one ticket in the field National State and county, to wit: The Silver ticket with Weaver and Field as the standard bearers of the people of our State.

We remain respectfully yours,

Dan'L Holland, Chairman,
W. A. INGALLS, Secretary of your Committee.
