DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM.

/ DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM.
The Democratic party OF the State OF
Nevada, in convention assembled, sthrms
its devotion to the principles laid down in
the National Democratic platforms OF 1876
and 1850, IS we believe that the mainten-
snce OF these principles ia necessary 10 the
safety, prosperity and perpetuity of the
Union under the Constitution. We ar
raign the Republican party for having, u
sddiuon 10 its other grave crimes, dealt
the most dangerous blow ever levsled 1t
the liberties OF the American citizen u
the perpesuity Of republican institutions,
by the theft Of the Presidency In 1916.
We concur in the unqualified condemns
ton expressed by she great mass meeting
recently held in New York City, which
declared: That fraud will forever
be 8 stain on q history s. 8 PEG
pie: il can never be efsced; nor should II
ever be pArdoned. Is WAS 5 deadly thrust
aimed IS the life Of the Republic. An IN
constitutional commission, created TO
override the will OF the people, sccom-
plished its purpose by 5 vote OF ) 10 4.
According TO the revelations Of President

tSl BY order OF President Grant 10 prevent
the Representatives Of the people from inau-
suraiing the la~wfully-elected President in
the mode provided in the Consiiiufon-the
rsnkest ~usurpsuon ever prActiced by 5 mill
tsry tyrsnt. The usurpsiion was consum-
mxtsd and the AssAssins OF sslf-governmeni
were seyerslly rewarded cut Of the public
.-- and - vat @hA rraaszSt frGnn of
the century has not been punished. To
redress this wrong becomes the para
Mount duty Of the Democracy in the
coming Presidential campaign. To at
.xin this end We ask the earnest eo-opers-
ton Of every Democrat and every Ameri-
can citizen"
In the full conviction thSi the
stamp of fraud can be efseed from
the pages Of American history, BY
means so effective s. by the
reelection Of the true and tried statesmen
and patriots against whom the successful
Was planned and executed. The
Of Nsvsis demands the nomin-
alton Of Tildsn and Hendricks. From the
Of s TO I. created for the occasion,
confidently appeal 10 the supreme tri-
ouuAi Of the American people
The delegates to be selected by this con-
yeluion. 70 represent NeyAda in the Ma
Convention, are hereby instructed
TO cast the full vote Of Nevada for Samuel
J. TSl6sa and Thomas A. Hendricks, for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency Of the
United States, so long a. .heL names shall
remain as candidates before the conven-l
ton. We demand the removal Of all re-
stricssons upon the coinage Of silver,

nullify, As far A. possible, the opera
ton Of said laws Of ISIS, By restrict
imum permitted by lay. and a far AZ
possible withholding from circulation the
quantity coined In the great
States Of New York, Penusylvania and
Massachusetts, the State platforms have
demanded the immediate cessation
Of the coinage OF silver, while their ns-
tioaA platform Is ominously silent upon
question Of vital Importance TO the
people Of Nevada. We call upon the in
miners Of Nevada, and upon all
other citizens CT the State, regardless Of
partisan preferences, 20 express 81 the bal

which has proved itself 10 be their mos,
dangerous enemy, and which nov

party OF the country the honor Of having

yrstion-reliss long but vs;nly sought 81
The hands Of Rspubliesn Congresses. We
point 70 the fact that the passage Of this
OF partial relief Was bitterly and yigor-
ously opposed by . large majority Of ihe
in Congress, and almost
unanimously By the Eastern press aud
leaders OF that party. We further ehsrgs

Federal officials. have been directed
