ton met in session at 10 o'clock. After be-
ing called TO order the various committees
made their reports, all of which were adopted
without amendment or discussion, except
the report on platform and resolutions. An
effort was made to have the clause demand
ing Constitutional Convention stricken out,
but it did not prevail. Following is the plat
form adopted:
THE PLATFORM.
The Democratic party of the State OF Nevada
again proclalms its devotion to Democratic prIn-
cipes, and pledges It's fidelity to elective insltu-
tlons Government Of the people honestly adj
minlsttred by representatives OF the people,
freely chosen without bribery, intimidation or
corruption. The devoted and resolute advocate
OF popular rights; the friend and defender Of the
poor and weak against tie ageresslons and
usurpauons Of the rich and strong; The advocate
OF the equality OF all before tie law-.he Demo
cratic parry is tile relentless foe of oppression
and wrong and the uncOmpromisng enemy OF
mOnopolleS and privileged classes.

citizens of the State 10 office, OF enforcing

CHARGED TO THE REPUBLICANS.
The Republican party has had control OF this
Stale government ever since lis admission Into
the Union, about twenty-siX years. The Demo-
cratic party never has control OF the executive
and legislative departments at any one Time !;
therefore. the X publican party Is fesponSi1le
for whatever evil had resulted from 5ad avs or
from the failure 10 pass good laws. at The end
81 this long peTloo t5o people OF The Stale find
themselves face 70 face with larger expense 10
be borne brewer people and smaller amount
OF asfSssable property. Careless ana eXirdvagant
financial methods and measures characterize the
Stale administration. Necessary amendments TO
the constitution have failed oil passage, either
through neglect, ignorance or on purpose.
