We arraign the Democratic
administration of President
Cleveland for having failed tn
keep the pledges on which it
came into power. Ii promised
economy ana retrenchment, and
has been most eXtravagant in
| expenditures and appropriations,
which. for the current year,
largely exceed the abundant
revenues of the Government. Ii
promised to reduce the sur, lus
in the Treasury, has permitted
such surplus to lie idle and ac-
cumuIate 10 the injury Of the
business of the country, and has
refused to approve Cf the action
of a large majority Of both
Houses of Congress directing
that such Surplus be applied in
payment of the interest bearing
debt OF the country. 1t prem-
ised to care for and give attea-
tion to the disahled soldiers ana
sailors of the late war, and has
treated with contemptuous veto
every pension bill against which
il could find any shadow Of tech
nical objection. 1t promised to
protect the person ard property
of citizens both at home and
abroad, and to maintain he dig
nifty Of the nation, yet in its re-
lations 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 cur shores, while by hasty and
unseemly 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, insolant and
!awlesS. 1t has shown itself no
friend to Nevada, because,
among its first acts of admins
tr'tion, it ,Iosed the L. S. Mint
in Carson City, in utter violation
of the law, TO the great detri- !
rlent Of every miner and silver
producer in this State in partic-
ular, and of the public in gen
eral. 1t has seriously impaired
our mail facilities without shad-
ow Of just excuse. 1t has out
ragged the express will of Con- ,
gress, and denied to this people
their rights by its unexplained
and continued refusal to execute
the law for the erection of a
Government Building in the
Capit'l of the State. 1t has !
used the entire power Of the ad-
minlstration to destroy silver as
money, and by refusal to exc
cute the law and pay out silver
for Government dues has kept |
the metal out Of circulation, and
by various devices it has re-
duced the price of silver since !
the Inauguration of President |
more than Is per
cent. 1t has closed many of our
silver mines, and thrown thous-
ands Of honest laborers out of !
employment.
We favor a tariff upon the i'm
ported products of low-priced
labor so as to protect the
interests of American wage
workers, and for the develope-
ment of American industries. |
We demand in behalf of our
interests the mainten-
