it will be counted as cast. Th
/! preservation of the Union, an
free government are now re
corded in history as the work {
the Republican party. Union
liberty, equality, and a protect
i've tariff, have largely contrib
uted in making 6O,O00,00O O
people the best fed, the bes
clothed, the happiest, the mos
intelligent and powerful tina
ever existed on earth. The ele
walton of labor by the abolition
of slavery and the utter repudi
alton 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 Nerth and of the South to
associate in one common broth
erhood for the protection OF
their rights and the advance
ment of their intellectual and
material prosperity.

We arraign the Democratic
administration of President
Cleveland for having failed ta
keep the pledges on which it
! came into power. It promised
economy and retrenchment, and
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 surplus
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 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. 1t prom
iSed TO care for and give atten-
ton 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
nical 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 il has
shown itself unwilling to give
protection to either person or
property, and has permitted our
flag to be insulted, without
proper protest, almost iii sight
of cur 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
lawless. 1t has shown itself no
friend to Nevada, because,
arscng its first acts Of admins
tration, it closed the U. S. Mint
in Carson City, in utter violation
of the Law, to the great detri-
Elent Of every miner and silver
producer in this State in partic-
llar, and of the public in gen
eral. 1t has seriously impaired
1ur mail facilities without shad-
DIV of just excuse. 1t has out
ragged the express will Of Con-
yress, and denied to this people
their rights by its unexplained
md continued refusal to execute
the law for the erection Of a
Building in the ,
Capital of the State. 1t has
lsed the entire power of the ad- ;
ninlstration 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 thous-
Inds of honest labOrers out Of

We favor tariff upon the i'm ]

Dreign labor so as to protect the I
interests of American wage I
