| Tree government arc HOW re
corded in history es the work 0
the Republican party. Union
liberty, equality, and a protect
i've tariff, have largely contrib
uted in making 60,000,0o0 o
people the best fed, the best
clothed, the happiest, the most
, intelligent and powerful thai
ever existed ON earth. The ele.
walton of labor by the abolition
of slavery and the utter repudi-
atisn of caste and aristocracy by
the Republican party has opened
to free men and free labor every
acre Of land within the jurisdic-
loan of the United States, and
tenbled the toiling millions of
the N~rth and of the South to
associate in ene common broth
erhood for the protection Of
their rights and the advance
ment of their intellectual aud
material prosperity.
II.
We erraign the Democratic
administration of President
Cleveland for having failed to
keep the pledges on which it
came into power. It promised
economy and retreRchment, and
has been most cxtravagant 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 isjury of the
business of the country, and has
refused to approve Of the action
of a large majsrity Of both
Houses of Congress directing
that such surplus be applied in
payment of the interest-bearing
debt of the country. 1t prom
ised to care for and give atten-
tion to the disabled soldiers and
sailors Of the late war, and has
treated with contemptusus veto
every pension bill against which
it could find any shadow Of tech
nical objection. 1t promised to
protect the person and property |
of citizens both at home and |
and to maintain he dig
nifty of the nation, yet in it's re-
latiens with Grert Britain it has
shown itself unwilling to give
protection to either person or
property, and has permitted our
flag to be insulted, without
proper protest, almost IN sight
Of our shores, while by hasty and
action it has unneces-
sarily jeopardized our friendly
relations with the Mexican Re
public, and made our nation
ridiculous in the eyes Of the
world. Its evasion Of civil ser
vice reform, to which its leading
representatives are pledged,
have been bold, insolent and
awless. It has shown itself no
friend to Nevada, because,
among its first acts of admins
it closed the U. S. Mint
n Carson City, ia utter violation
If the law, to the great detri-
-lent Of every miner and silver
producer in this State in partic-
liar, and of the public in gem
,ral. 1t has seriously impaired
,ur mail facilities without shad-
wv. of just excuse. 1t has out
aged the express will Of Con-
sress, and denied to this people
heir rights by its unexplained
md continued refusal to execute
he law for the erection of II
Bxilding in the
Capital of the State. 1t has
,sed the entire power Of the ad-
nin,stration to destroy silver as
money, and by refusal to exc
ute the law and pay out silver
or Government dues has kept
he metal out Of circulation, and
~ various devices it has re-
luced the price Of silver since
he inauguration of President
Cleveland more than Is per
ent. 1t has closed many of our
liver mines, and thrown th0us-
nds of honest la5orers out OF
We favor tariff upon the i'm
'orted products of low-priced
oreign labor SO as to protect the
interests of American wage
verkers, and for the deveIope-
nent of American industries.
We demand in behalf of our
