slavery, its protection to labor, its claw
ton of manufacturers, its upholdina n
the national credit, its efforts in behaif :
honest financial methods, its homeste.,
system and its devotion to popular ean
cation have made for it the greatest Va
cord OF any political organization this a,
any other country ever had.
The names of its heroes nre legion
and the deeds of Fremont, Lincoln
Grant and Garfield will shine like cleo
trio lights on the pages of history.
The Republicans of Nevada, in CON.
vention assembled, heartily endorse tba
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 oil
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 financers.
1t has taken up the work of a read
justment of the tariff in a patriotic and
busness-like way, such as will protect
the interests of labor and at the same
time encourage capital to enterprises
that will furnish it 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 Cleye.

up and made to obey the laws of honest
commerce.
Efforts are being made to prevent or
punish frauds and intimidatons in cleo
tons.

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 their
corn for fuel. Trusts were stimulated.
finances disarranged, strikes prevailed,
the mail service was demoralized and
business found itself oppressed instead
OF being encouraged by the methods OF
the Government, whose whole business
should be to benefit the country.
To-day silver, wheat, lead and all the
products of labor are rapidly rising, and
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 they
would be for crime, Under Harrison.
Chinese and contract labor are kept out
of the country. American laborers and
mechanics protected, agriculture is en-
couraged by q department intelligently
conducted for its benefit, and the laws
administered in wise, firm and patr,-
otto manner. In presenting its ticket to
the voters of Nevada, the Republican
barty pledges its nominees to retrench-
,e
and State expenditures.
We pledge our nominees to a system
OF State improvements which shall save
the water now running to waste, and de-
wise means to secure its use in the irri-
CATION of the fertile lands now living
idle.

by Senator Stewart proposing to cede
the lands within our lines to the State
for the purpose of aiding to improve our
water storage and irrigating systems,
and we appeal to Congress and the Pres
ident to grant this much needed aid.
We indorse the course Of our Senators
and Representative in Congress, and
commend their efforts to establish on
better basis the use Of silver as money,
and reafirm our uncompromising de-
mand for the free coinage of both gold
and silver and their equal station in our
national currency.
