o PLATFORM.
The Principles Enumerated by ths
ElkO Convention.

Following 10 the full text Of the platform
unanimously adopted by the Democratic State
Convention on September 10:
First he Democratic party Of the State of
Nevada, through Its representatives In con-
ventiop assembled, ct Eiko, on the 9sh day of
September, 1886. reafirmingft it's hearty indorse-
ment of the declaration Of rinciples adopted
by the National Democratic party Of the city
Of Chicago In 1884, among which, upon the
question Of coinage and currency. are the fol-
lowing plain statements OF Democratic faith
and the principles upon which the party sp-
peaied to the SURFACES Of the people OF the
several States in the late Presidential cam
psign, to wit:
I'VE believe In honest moneY-the gold and
silver coinage of the Constitution, and .
circulating medium convertible into such
money without loss."
We therefore demand that good faith sh Ill
be observed with the people by the Democratic
administration by reiigously adhering to the
money plank, ~ 1t does TO every other plank
Of the Chicago platform.
Second-President Cleveland In his wise.
conservative aud patriotic administration Of
our public ~affAirs. both foreign and domestic.
challenges our highest admiration. except In
following the beaten path Of his Republican
predecessors and the policy OF the Republi-
can party on the silver question, In disregard
OF the cherished principles Of the National
Democratic party.
Third-We demand OF the alton,
ct Washington, that 1t shall second the efforts
Of the Democratic Representatives in Con-
gress TO give the people free coinage Of silver.
Notwithstanding the formidable combination
existing between the gold rings, national
banks and the National Republican party to
mAintain the single gold standard. The action
of the Republican party in California in re.
fusing to insert Q silver plank IN their plat.
form deserves the condemnation Of the silver
producing people OF the mining regions OF the
Pacific Coast.
Fourth-we indorse the policy of applying

BILE the national bank circulation. and the di.
rect issue by the National Government of
legal tender Treasury notes, gold and silver
coin and coin certificates.
| Fifth-We arrsign the Republican party be-
fore the bar OF an enlightened public opinion
for Its high crime committed against the pub
lie peace. and against the best interests of the
white laboring classes Of both sexes, by its in
wiling and encouraging the influx Of AsiAtic
hordes to our shores under treaty stipulstions
and under the crazy shibboleths CT "The

substance. 1900 Chinese coolies.
Sixth-We demand the immediate abrogation
OF the Burlingame treaty and the total sup.
preston OF Chinese immigration to American
soil. and we favor legislation providing for
the deportation OF ell Chinese IN the United
States. and we recommend the exclusive pat
ronage OF white labor and Its produce.
Seyenth-The Introduction by Senator Fair
OF his chinese Restriction bill and his success
In passing the same deserves the approval OF
the entire people Of the Pacific Coast.
Gighth-A proper regard for tbe We fare OF
the wofkingman being insepsrabiy connected
with the integrity Of our Institutions. the labor
