preservation Of the Union, AM
free government are now re
corded in history as the work O
the Republican party. Union
liberty, equality, and protect
i've tariff, have largely contrib
uted in making 6O,O0O,0OO o
people the best fed, the bes
clothed, the happiest, the mos
intelligent and powerful tina
ever existed on earth. The ele
walton of labor by the abolition
Of slavery and the utter repudi'
atisn Of caste and aristOcracy' by
the Republican party has opened
to free men and free labor every
acre of land within the jurisdic-
loan of the United States, and
tenbled the toiling millions OF
the Nerth and of the South to
associate in one common broth
erhood for the protection OF
their rights and the advance
ment of their intellectual and
material prosperity.
III.
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 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
ia 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 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 bill against which
it could find any shadow of tech
nical 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-
latiens with Grert Britain it has
shown itself unwilling to give
protection to either person or
property, and has permitted our
dag 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, {
lave been bold, insolent and
awless. 1t has shown itself no
'riend to Nevada, because, F;
iiaong its first acts Of admins {
ration, it closed the u. S. Mint
II Carson City, in utter violation
# the law, to the great detri- ,
,lent Of every miner and silver
producer in this State in partic-
liar, and of the public in gen !
raj. 1t has seriously impaired {
'ur mail facilities without shad-
Nv of just excuse. 1t has out S
aged the express will OF Con-
,ress, and denied to this people
heir rights by its unexplained
nd continued refusal to execute s
ne law for the erection of u ,
Building in the I
,apital Of the State. 1t has /
Ised the entire power Of the ad- 1,
ninlstration to destroy silver as t
money, and by a refusal to exc &
ute the law and pay out silver !
Or Government dues has kept 7
he metal out of circulation, and Z
Y various devices it has re- i
uced the price Of silver since i
he Inauguration of President a
leveland more than 15 per ,
ent. 1t has closed many of our s
liver mines, and thrown thous-
nds of honest labUrers out Of
III.
We favor a tariff upon the i'm !
orted products of low-priced c
reign labor so as to protect the /
lterests OF American wage r
'erkers, and for the develope- .
lent of American industries. Fl
