The Republicans Of Nevada, in Convention as.
sembled resffirm their unfAl ering Loyalty to the
principles of the party as enunciated in all their
National Platforms from Lincoln to Blame. We
believe liberty is the inAllenAble right Of every
man, whatever his race color, and in the equal
ity uf every man before the law with the unre-
stricted right Of every citzed 10 cast his vote for
whomever he chooses, with the assurance that II
will be counted AZ cast. The preservation OF the
Union aud free Government are now recor ded in
history the work Of the Republican party.
Union, liberty, equality and protective tariff
have largely contributed In making 60 900 600 Of
Leople the best fed the best clothed. the hSppest
and the most intelligent and powerful that ever
existed on earth The elevation of labor by the
abolition Of slavery and the utter reputation OF
caste and Ar!stocrscy by the Republican party has
opened TO free men and free labor every acre Of
land within the Jurisdiction Of the United States,
and enabled the toiinR millions Of the North and
OF the Sorth tc associate in one common brother
hood for the protection Of their rights and the ad-
vancement Of their intellectual and material pros
perity.
We srraign the Democratic administration OF
President Cleveland for having tailed to keep the
pledges on which Il came into power. II promised
economy and retrenchment and has been most
xtrsvagant in expenditures and appropriations.
which for the current year, largely exceed the
abundant revenues Of the Government. 1t prom
sed to reduce the surplus In the Treasury but has
permitted Ruch surplus to lie idle and accumulate
to the injury of the business of the country and
has refused to approve OF the sctinn OF large
majority If both Houses of Congress directing
thai such surplus be applied in payment of the
interest bearing debt ~ the country. II promised
70 for and give sten ion to the disabled sol
diers and sailors of the late and has treated
with cOntemptuous veto every pension bill against
which IL could find any shadow of technical OBJ
jectiC n. II promised to protect the person and
property OF citizens both at home and abroad, and
to maintain the dignity of the nation, yet in its
relations with Great Britain II has shown itsalf
unwilling to give protection to person property
and has permitted our flag to be insulted. without
proper protest, almost In sight Of our Shores
while by hAsty and unseemly action II has unnec-
essarily jeopardized our friendly relations with
the Mexican Republic and made our nation re-
dicnlous In the eyes OF the world Its evasion OF
civil service reform to which its leading repre-
sentatives are pledged, have been bold, insolent
and lawlesa. 1t has shown itself no friend TO Ne
vada, because. among its FIRST acts OF admInistra-
tiOn, IL closed the U. s. Mint In Carson CITY, In
utter violation of the law to the great detriment
of every miner and silver producer in this state
In particular and of the public in general. II has
seriously impaired our mail facilities without a
shadow Of Just excuse. II has outraged the ex-
press will of Congress-, and denied to this people
their rights by its unexplained and continued re-
fusal to execute the law for the erection OF a
Government Building in the Capital of the State
1t has used the entire power of the administration
to destroy silver as money, and by refusal to tx
suite the law and pay out silver for Government
dues 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 as to protect the inter
