DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM.

The Democratic party Of the State of NevsdA,
in convention assembled. Afhrms its devotion
10 the principle Is laid down in the National
Democratic platforms Of ls16 and lsu, IS We
believe that the maintenance OF these primer,
pies is necessary to the safety, prosperity anu
psrpetuity Of the Union under the Constitution
We arrAign the Republican party for having in
addition 30 its other grave crimes, dff'' me
most dangerous blew ever ievelei 81 the hoer-
ties Of the American citizens and the Perpetu-
ity of republican institutions, oy the theitol
the Presidency in 1876. We concur in the IN
qualified condemnation expressed oy the great
mass meeting recently held in New YORK my
which declared: 'Thst fraud will forever De
q stain on cur history a. s people; IL esn never
be efsced: nor should ii ever be psrdoned. IL
was sdeadly thrust aimed 81 the HE OF the
Republic. An unconstitutional commission
created to override the Will Of the Pc pie, &C
compIishedf its purposes by S vote OF to-. Ac-
carding to the revelations Of President Gar
field, the army of the United States Wss con
centrsted In snd around the cspltAI oy order
of President Grant to prevent the represen-
tatives Of the people from nsnsursuhg "a
provided in the Constitutisn-the rs3kest
usurpation ever prscteed oy s military
tyrsnt The usurpstion was eonsummAt-
ed and the ssssssins OF sei-goVerhnSht
were severally rewarded out OF the pubic
treasury, and IS yet the greatest fraud q the
century has not been punished 10 redress
this wrong becomes the paramount duty OF the
Democracy in the coming P~resldeRuAl canE
paisn. To attain this end We ask tie earnest
cooperation of every Democrat And every
American citizen.
In the fun conviction that the stamp Of
fraud can be efsced from the pages Of Ameri-
can history, by no means so effective as by the
re election Of the true and tried Statesmen nd
patriots against whom tse successful con-
spiracy was planned and executed, the Denoe-
rscy OF Nevsds demands the nominsnon OF
Tilden and Hendricks. From the tribunal OF
8 TO :, created for tue occasion. we confidently
appeal to the supreme tribunal Of the Amsfl-
can people.
The delegates to be selected by this eonven-
ton. TO represent Nevsis in the National Cor
vention, are hereby instructed to cast the full
vote of Nevada for samuel J. Illden sud
Thomas A. Hendricks for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency Of the United states, 50 long
a. their names shall remain s. candidates
before the convention. We demsnd the re-
movsl of all restrictions upon the coinsse o.
silver, believing thst its restorsnon 10 US
ancient rank s. $ circulating medium Will
benefs not only the mining interests OF Ne
yais but the p~eople'of the entire country We
denounce the Republican party for the demon
itiEAtion Of silver in 1873, for opposing us
psrtisl restoration in ISIS, snd for psrslstelty
eudeavorius ever since 10 nulAfy, IS far
xs possibIe. the operation Of said lsws Of
1875. by restricting the coinage TO one-hA1 tie

the State platforms have already demznoed
the immediate cessation Of the coinage q sL-
yer, while their national platform IS ontnoIsly

citizens of the st2te. regardless O. partisan
preferences. 10 express At the ballot box thar
condemnation Of this party, which has proved
itself 70 be their most dangerous enemy, Sod
which now threatens to repeal the Act Of ISIS.
