ervation of the Union, its abolition Of
slavery, its protection to labor, its eleva-
ton of manufacturers, its unfolding of
the national credit, its efforts i'll behalf of
honest financial methods, its homestead
system and its devotion to popular edu-
cation have made for it the greatest re-
cord of any political organization this OF
any other country ever had.
The names of its heroes are legion,
and the deeds of Fremont, Lincoln,
Grant and Garfield will shine like elec-
trio lights on the pages of history.
The Republicans of Nevada, i'll con-
vention assembled, heartily endorse the
acts of the fifty-frst Congress, which
has made greater advances in correct
and needed legislation than any since
the war.
The crime Of filibustering, so often re-
sorted to by the Democratic party for
the purpose of defeating legislation and
blocking the wheels of Government, has
been done away with by the genius of
Reed, Mckinley and their associates,
and the offenders taught that congress
men are paid by the people for making
good laws and not bad politics.
1t had, by strict party vote, placed
the silver question on basis that will
lead naturally to free coinage and dis
arm all opposition among financiers.
1t has taken up the work of a read
justment of the tariff in patriotic and
business-like way, such as will protect
the interests of labor and at the same
time encourage capital TO enterprises
that will furnish il with employment at
good wages.
New States, which were denied their
rights before, have been admitted to the
Union, and the grip of Tammany Hall
upon the Presidency broken.
Trusts that grew rank under Cleve-
lands Administration have been broken
up and made to obey the laws of honest
commerce.
Efforts are being made to prevent or
punish frauds and intimidations in cleo
tons.
A navy has been provided for and sui
table pensions granted to prevent suffer
ing among the sick and wounded heroes
of the war.
Provision is being made for the recla-
nation of the arid regions, where the
Republican policy of free homes and
free schools can be extended.
Unearned land grants are being re-
stored to the public domain and the
land thrown open to settlement, and in
all things the pledges of the National
platform are being amply redeemed.
We indorse the Administration OF
President Harrison and commend his
conservative course as striking in con
trast with his predecessor in office.
During the former Administration sill
yer and wheat touched the lowest price
ever known, and farmers burned theil
corn for fuel. Trusts were stimulated
finances disarranged, strikes prevailed
the mail service was demoralized ant
business found itself oppressed insteat
of being encouraged by the methods o
the Government, whose whole business
should be to benefit the country.
To-day silver, wheat, lead and all til,
products of labor are rapidly rising, ant
while the Democratic officials may per
haps be innocent of Intentionally de
stroying our prosperity they are culpa
BILE for the results of blunders as the,

We indorse the measure introduce
by Senator Stewart proposing to Gee
the lands within our lines to the Sta
for the purpose of aiding to improve OF
water storage and irrigating system
and we appeal to Congress and the Pre-
ident to grant this much needed aid.
We indorse the course of our Senate

commend their efforts to establish on
better basis the use Of silver as none
and reai1irm our incorporating d
mand for lthe free coinage of both go
and silver and their equal station in O.
national currency.
