Tho Republicans Of Nevada, in Convention
semh@d. reAffirm their unfAl'erinR loyalty TO the
principles OF the party as enunciAted in all their
Nstional Platforms from Lincoln TO Blame. We
believe liberty IL the insl enable right Of every
man, whatever his race or color, and In the equal
ity " every man before the law. with the unre
stricted right Of every ctized TO cast his vote for
whomever he chooses, with the assurance that II
will be counted cast. The preservation of the
Union and free Government are now recor ded in
history as the work Of the Republican party
Union, liberty, equality and q protective tariff
have largely contributed In making so 900 900 II
people the hest fed the best clothed the hsppiest
and the most intelligent and powerful that ever
existed on earth. The elevation of labor by the
abolition Of slavery and the utter repudiation of
caste and aristucracy by the Republican psrty has
opened TO free men and free labor every acre of
land within the Jurisdiction OF the United States
and enabled the tOiling millions of the North and
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
perty.
We srraign the Democratic administration OF
President Cleveland for having allied to keep the
pledges on which IL came into power. Ii promised
economy and retrenchmeDt, and has been most
eItrsvagant in expenditures and appropriations.
which for the current year. largely exceed the
abundant revenues of the Government. II prom
ihed to reduce the surplus In the Treasury but has
permitted such surplus TO lie idle and accumulate
TO the injury OF the business OF the country. and
has refused 10 approve OF the seton OF large
majority II both Houses Of Congress directing
thai snch surplus be applied in payment Of the
interest bearing debt OF the country II promised
10 for and give attention 10 the disabled sol.
ders and sailors OF the late war. and has treated
with contemptuous veto every pension bill against
which II could nnd any shadow of technical OBJ
jecti' n. II promised to protect the person and
property Of citizens both st home and abroad, and
to maintain the dignity Of the nation, yet In Its
relations with Great Britain II has shown itself
unwilling 10 give protection To person property,
and has permitted our flag 20 be insulted without
proper protest, almost IN sight OF our shores,
while by hAsty aud unseemly action II has unnec-
essarily jeopardized our friendly relations with
diculous in the eyes OF the world. Its evasion of
civil service re orm 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 sdmlnistra-
tiUn, II closed the U. 8. Mint in Carson City. in
utter violation Of the law to the great detrtmeDt
of every miner and silver producer in this state
seriously impaired our mail facilities without
shadow of just excuse. 1t has outraged the ex-
press will OF Congress. and denied to this people
their rights by Its nexplaned 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
ecute the Law and pay out silver for Government
du es has kept the met | out OF circulation, and
yer since the inauguration of President Cleveland
more than Is per cent. 1t has closed many of our
silver mines. and thrown thousands of honest
laborers out OF employment.

We favor tariff upon the imported products OF
low.prced foreign labor to protect the inter-
