noblest in its own country and hope and
promise OF better future for the human
race.
Its battles for human rights, its pres
ervation of the Union, its abolition of
slavery, its protection to labor, its eleva-
ton of manufacturers, its upholding of
the national credit, its efforts in 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 or
any other country ever had.
The names of its heroes are 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 the
acts of the fifty-first 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 q 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 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 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 intimihtions in cleo
tons.
A navy has been provided GRAND 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. f
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 iadorse 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 department intelligently
| conducted for its benefit, and the laws
administered in wise, firm and patri-
otto manner. In presenting its ticket to
the voters of Nevada, the Republican
barty pledges its nominees to retrench-
ment wherever it is possible in county
and State expenditures.
We pledge our nominees to 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 lying
idle.
We indorse the measure introduced
by Senator Stewart proposing to cede
the lands within our lines to the State
for the purpose of aiding to improve oul
water storage and irrigatipg 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 0
better basis the use of silver as money,
and reaffirm our uncompromising de-
mand for the free coinage of both GOLD
and silver and their equal station in oul
national currency.
WHEREAS, The practice of letting
mail contracts in this State to non-resi
dents thereof, who seek and obtain slcl
contracts only for the purpose of sub
letting the same, has resulted in an in
ferior and impaired mail service.
