The Republicans Of Nevada. in Convention as
sembled, reafhrm their unfal'ering loyalty to the
principles of the party as enuuciAted In all their
National Platforms from Linsoln to Blame We
believe liberty is the iDaltenable right of every
man whatever his race or color, and in the equal
ity Of every man before the law, with the unre-
sricted right of Every cized to cast his vote for
whomever he chooses with the assurance that 1t
will he counted as cast. The preservation OF the
Union and free Government are now recorded In
history as the work OF the Republican party
Union. liberty, equality and protective ta'h
have largely contributed In making 6000O,000 OF
people the best fed the best clothed. the happiest
and the most intelligent and powerful that ever
existed on earth. The elevation Of labor by the
abolition Of slavery and the utter reputation of
caste and aristocrscy by the Republican party has
open ed 20 free men aud free labor every acre of
land within the jurisdtctia" Of the United states,
aud enabled the toiliIfa millions Of the North aud
Of the Sorth &c associate in one common brother
hood for the protection Of their rights and the ad
vancement Of their intellectual and material pros

We arrsien tho Democratic administration Of
President Cleveland for having failed to keep the
pledges on which II came into power. II promised
economy and retrenchment, and has been most
extrsvsgant in expenditures and appropriations,
which for the current year, largely exceed the
abundant revenues Of the Government IL prom
ised TO reduce the surplus IN the treasury nut has
permitted such surplus to lie idle and accumulate
10 the injury Of the business of the country. and
has refused to. approve OF the seton OF large
majority If both Houses of Congress directing
that such surplus be applied in payment OF the
ipterest bearing debt Of the country. 1t promised
20 care for and give siton ion TO the disabled sol.
ders and sailors of the late war. and has treated
with contemptuous veto every pension bill against
which II could hnd any shadow of technical Oh,
lection. II promised to protect the person and
property Of citizens both at home and ABROAD, and
TO maintain the dignity Of the nation. yet In its
relations with Great Britain 1t has shown itself
unwilling to give protection to person or property,
and has permitted our flag to he insulted, without
proper protest. almost IN sight of our shores,
while by hasty and unseemly action 1t has unnec-
essarily jeopardiEed our friendly relations with
tha Mexican Republic, and made our nation re.
dicuious in the eyes OF the world. Its evasion OF
civil service reform. TO which its leading repre-
sentatives are pledged, have been bold insolent
and lawless. 1t has shown itself no friend to Ne
vada, because. among its first acts of admlnistra-
tion, II closed the u s, Mint In Carson city. in
utter violation of the law, to the Rroat detriment
Of every miner aud silver producer in this state
In particular aud of the public In general 1t has
seriously impaired our mail facilities without
shadow of Just excuse. II has outraged the ex-
press will of Congress, and denied to this people
their rights by its unexplained and continued re-
fusal TO execute the law for the erection of a
Government Building in the Capital of the state.
II has used the entire power of the administration
to destroy silver as money, and by refusal to ex'

more than 10 per cent. II has closed many of our
silver mines. and thrown thousands OF honest
laborers out OF employment

We favor a tariff upon the imported products OF
low-priced foreign labor TO protect the inter-
