We arraign the Democratic
| administration Of President
Cleveland for having failed to
keep the pledges on which it
came into power. 1t promised
economy and retreachmeDt, aad
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 SUR lus
in the Treasury, has permitted
such surplus to lie idle and nc
cumulate to the Injury Of the
business of the country, and has
refused to approve of the action
of large majority Of both
Houses of Congress directing
that such surplus be applied in
payment of the interest-b bearing
debt of the country. It prom
ised to care for and give atten-
tion to the disabled soldiers and
sailors Of the late war, and has
treated with contemptuOus veto
every pension bill against which
it could find any shadow Of tech
rical objection. 1t promised to
protect the person and 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, insolent and !
tawiess. It'has shown itself no
friend to Nevada, because,
among its first acts of admins
trstion, it closed the U. 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
Capitol of the State. Ii has
used the entire power Of the ad-
minlstration to destroy silver as
and by a 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
cleveland more than Is per
cent. 1t has closed many of our
silver mines, and thrown thous-
inds of honest laborers out of

interests of American. wage
workers, and for the develope-
