We arraign the Democratic
administration of President
Cleveland for having failed to
keep the pledges on which it
came into power. Il promised
economy ana 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-
cumulate 10 the injury Of the
business of the country, and has
refused to approve Of the action
of 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 to care for and give atten-
iion to the disabled soldiers and
callers of the late war, and has
treated with contemptuous veto
every pension bill against which
it could find any shadow Of tech
nicai 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
property, and has permitted our
flag to be insulted, without |
proper protest, almost in sight |
Of our shores, while by hasty and !
UnseeRilE action il has unneces-
sarily jeopardized our friendly |
relations with the Mexican Re
public, and made our nation
ridiculous in the eyes Of the
world. It's evasion OF civil SER
vice reform, to which its leading
representatives are pledged, |
have been bold, insolent ard
iawless. 1t has shown itself no
friend to Nevada, because,
aranS, its first acts Of admins
trstion, it closed the U. S. Mint
i'll Carson City, i'll after violation
Of the law, to the great detri-
rlent Of every miner and silver
in this State in partic-
ular, and of the public in gen
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
Government Building in the
Capital of the State. 1t has
used the entire power Of the ad-
minIstration to destroy silver as
and by a refusal to exc
cute the law and pay out silver
iOr Government dues has kept
the metal out of circulation, and
by various 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

We favor a tariff upon the inn
ported products Of low-pricel
Ioreign labor SO as to protect the
Of American wage
workers, and for the deve!ope-
meat of American industries.
