THE PLATFORM.
We, the Democrats of White Pine
county in convention assembled, re-
new our adhesion to Democratic prin-
ciples.
We heartily indorse the platform
adopted by the Democratic State
Convention at Reno ON September
18th.
We feel pround of the record the
Democratic party has made in Con-
grsss for the free coinage of silver.
Their record on this great and
vital question to the interests of
Nevada is: 1874 votes for free coinage
and only 20 against it. The record of
the Republican party is: 38 votes for
free coinage and 1853 against free
coinage. Who are the true friends of
silver, we ask The record shows.
The material interests of Nevada
demands free coinage. and will never
be satisfied with any compromise
that debases silver TO a commodity,
even though it may temporarily en-
haLce its market price. Nothing but
its full reconciliation will restore it
to its proper place in our monetary
system.
We are unalterably opposed to any
intermedling by the (so-called) State
Board of Trade or any other organi-
cation with our county autonomy, and
we pledge our candidates for the Leg
islature to oppose any and all schemes
from whatever source looking to the
the segregation or consolidation of
White Piue county.
We are in favor of free schools and
and will support any measure calcu-
lated to advance their efficiency in
White Pine county and the State of
Nevada.
