corded in history as the work o
the Republican party. Union
liberty, equality, and a protect
i've tariff, have largely contrib
uted in making 6O,000,00O o
| people the best fed, the bes
clothed, the happiest, the mos
! intelligent and powerful tina,
ever existed on earth. The ele'
walton of labor by the abolition
of slavery and the utter repudi-
atien Of caste and aristOcracy by
the Republican party has opened
to free men and free labor every
acre Of land within the jurisdic-
loan nf the United States, and
tenbled the toiling millions of
the North and of the South to
associate in one common broth
erhood for the protection Of
their rights and the advance
ment Of their Intellectual and
material prosperity.

We arraign the Democratic
administration ef President
Cleveland for having failed to
keep the pledges on which it
came into power. 1t promised
economy and retreHchnent, and
has been most eXtravagant in
expenditures and appropriations,
which. for the current year,
largely exceed the abundant
revenues of the Government. 1t
promised to reduce the surplus
in the Treasury, has permitted
such surplus to lie idle and ac-
cumulate to the Injury Of the
business of the country, and has
refused TO approve Of the action
of IL large majority of both
Houses Of Congress directing
that such Surplus be applied in
Of the interest-bearing
deht of the country. 1t prom |
ised to care for and give atten-
lion to the disabled soldiers and |
saiiors of the late war, and has
treated with contemptuous veto |
every pension bill against which
t could find any shadow Of tech
lical objection. It promised to
protect the person and property
IF citizens both at home and
abroad, and to maintain he dig
1ity of the nation, yet in its re-
ations with Grert Britain il has
shown itself unwilling to give
protection to either person or
and has permitted cur

action it has unneces-
arily ieopardized our friendly
citations with the Mexican Re-
public, and made our nation

world. lis evasion Of civil SER

representatives. are pledged,

aw!ess. 1t has shown itself no
riend to Nevada, because,
nong its first acts Of admins
it closed the U. S. Mint

f the law, to the great detri-
lent of every miner and silver
'roducer in this State in partic-
liar, and of the public in gem
raj. 1t has seriously impaired (
ur mail facilities without shad-
W of just excuse. 1t has out
aged the express will of Con-
'ress, and denied to this people
heir rights by its unexplained
nd continued refusal to execute
he law for the erection of a
government Building in the
'apital of the State. 1t has
sed the entire power Of the ad- .
to destroy silver as

v various devices it has re-
uced the price Of silver since

We favor a tariff upon the inn
orted products of low-priced ,
,reign labor so as to protect the
