preservation of the Union, and
free government are now re
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 60,00o,Oo0 O
people the best fed, the bes'
clothed, the happiest, the most
! intelligent and powerful that
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 of the United States, and
tenbIed the toilins millions OF
the N~rth and of the South to
associate in one common broth
erhood for the protection OF
their rights and the advance
| nient OF their Intellectual and
material prosperity.
II.
We nrraign the Democratic
administration Of President
Cleveland for having failed to
keep the pledges on which it
came into power. Ii promised
economy and retrenchment, aad
has been most ex,ravagant 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 a large majority of both
Houses of Congress directing
that such Surplus be applied in
payment Of the Understanding
debt Of the country. Il prom
ised to care for and give atten-
tien to the disabled soldiers and
sailors of the late war, and has
treated with centemptuous veto
every pension bill against which
it could End any shadow Of tech
nical objection. It 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 h sty and
unseemly action it has unneces-
sarily jeopardizad our friendly
relations with the Mexican Re-
public, and made our nation
ridiculous il the eyes Of the
world. Its evasion of civil ser
vice reform, to which its leading
representatives are pledged,
have been bold, insolent and F.;
iawiess. II has shown itself ne
friend to Nevada, because,
aaong its first acts of admins
ration, 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 gem
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
Capitnl of the State. 1t has
used the entire power of the ad-
minlstratisn 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 varieus 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-
ands OF honest labOrers out OF
employment.
III.
We favor tariff upon the i'm
ported products of low-priced
foreign labor SO as to protect the
interests of American wage
workers, and for the develope-
