We arraign the Democratic
administration Of President
Cleveland for having failed to
keep the pledges on which it
came into power. 1t promised
economy and retrenchnent, 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 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 i'll
payment of the interest-bearing
debt of the country. 1t prom
ised to care for and give atten-
tion to the disabled soldiers and
sailors of the late war, and has
treated with contemptuouS veto
every pension bin 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 !
5f cur shores, white by hasty and !
lnSeemly action it has unneces-
sariiy jeopardized our friendly
relations with the Mexican Re
public, and made our nation
ridiculous in the eyes of the
world. Its evasion of civi! SER
vice reform, to which its leading
representatives are pledged,
lavc been bold, insOlent and
awless. 1t has shown itself no
'riend to Nevada, because,
ssacng its first acts of admins
ration, it closed the U. S. Mint
n Carson City. in utter violation
)f the law, to the great detri-
-lent Of every miner and silver
producer in this State in partic-
liar, and of the public in gem
,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
he law for the erection of
Building in the
capital Of the State. It 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

Cleveland more than Is per
