We arraign the Democratic
administration of President
Cleveland for having failed to
keep the pledges on which it
came into power. Ii 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 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 interest-bearing
debt of the country. 1t prom
iSed 10 care for and give atten-
Iion TO the disa bled soldiers and
sailors of the late war. and has
treated with contenptuous veto
every pension bill against which
it could find any shadow of tech
meal 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
and has permitted our
flag to be insulted, without |
proper protest, almost in sight |
Of our 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
aWless. 1t has shown itself no
friend TO Nevada, because,
,rxong its first acts of admins
Iration, it closed the U. S. Mint
IN Carson City, in utter violation
II the law, to the great detri-
rlent Of every miner and silver
producer in this State i'm partic-
liar, and of the public in gen
.ral. 1t has seriously impaired
,ur mail facilities without shad-
wv of just excuse. 1t has out
aged the express will of Con-
,ress, and denied to this people
heir rights by its unexplained
md continued refusal to execute
ne law for the erection Of Il
Building in the
;ap:t4l of the State. 1t has
lsed the entire power of the ad-
to destroy silver rs
money, and by IL refusal to exc
ute the law and pay out silver
or Government dues has kept
he metal out of circulation, and
y 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-
nds OF honest labOrerS out of
We favor a tariff upon the inn
orted products of low-priced
,reign labor so as to protect the
ltereSts of American wage /
-orkers, and for the deveiope-
lent of American industries.
We demand i'm bphotf nf orr.
