II.
We arraign the Democratic
az ADMINISTRATION Of President
Cleveland for having failed ia
keep the pledges on which it
came int power. Ii promised
economy and rctreRchment, and
has been most eItravagant in
expenditures and appropriations,
which, for the current year.
largely exceed tue abundant
revenues of the Government. 1t
promised to reduce the surplus
in the Treasury, has permitted
such surplus to lie idle aud ac-
oumulate 20 the injury Of the
business OF the country, and has
refused to approve Of the action
of n large msjarity 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-
tion to the disabled soldiers and
sailors Of the late war, and has
treated with contemptusus veto
every pension bill agaiEst which
it could find any shadow Of teck-
nicai objection. 1t promised TO
protect the person and property
Of citizens both ct home and
abroad, and to naiItain 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 ts be insulled, without
proper protest, aimost IN sight
OF our shores, while by hasty and
unsecmly action ii has unneces-
sarily ieopardized 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, {, which its leading
representatives are pledged,
have been bold, insolent and
iauIess. 1t has shown itself no
friend to Nevada, because, |
among its first acts of admins |!
trltion, i. closed the U. S. Mint |
in Carson City, in utter violation
Of the law, TO the great detri-
Ilent Of every miner and silver
producer 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. /. 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 a
Government building in the !;
Capital Of the State. 1t has
used the entire power Of the ad-
ministration to destroy silver as
money, and by refusal to exc
cute 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
he Inauguration of President
Cleveland more than Is per |
.ent. 1t has closed many of our {
silver mines, and thrown thous-
lnds OF honest laborers out Of

We favor tariff upon the inn !
ported products of low-priced ,
oreign labor 80 as to protect the
interests. Of American wage
workers, and for the develope-
nent Of American industries.
We demand il behalf Of our
interests the lNainten-
