Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1890-11-02
Platform and Ees0iut Ons

Adopted by the Reputllcap State
Convention hel q al Nneiria { y
Nevada, September 4th 1890.
The record of the Republican party
is its best platform.
No political party in human history
has taken such advanced positions
for the equality of races, none has so
welded the administration of author
it1 to the needs of business, none has so
managed the affairs of a State as to
encourage the development and settle
ment of continent, none has elevat-
ed nation and so contributed to the
comfort and happiness of man, none
has so honestly and economically car
ried on the routine duties of Office.
In all things it has been the direct
opposite of the Democratic party.
Grand in its ambitions and impulses,
firm and resolute in its consistency,
strong in its devotion to principle, it
is now, as it has been from its berth,
the representative of all that is best
and noblest in its own country and
hope and promise of a better future
for the Frman race.
cts battles for human rights, its pre-
servation of the Union, its abolition
of slavery, its protection to labor, its
elevation of manufacturers, its uphold
ing of the national credit, its efforts
in behalf of honest financial methods,
its homestead system. and its d.votion
to popular education have maze for it
the greatest record of any political or
ganization this or any other country
ever had.
The names of its heroes are legion,
and the deeds of Fremont, Lincoln,
Grant and Garfield will shrine like
electric lights on the pages of history.
The Republicans of Nevada, in con-
vention assembled, heartily indorse
the acts of the fffty-irst Congress,
which has made greater advances in
correct and needed legislatio than
any since the war.
The crime of filibustering, so often
resorted to by the Democratic party
for the purpose of defeating legisla-
ton and blocking the wheels of gov
ernment, has been done away with
by the genius of Reed, Mckinley and
their associates, and Cde offenders
taught that congressman are paid by
the people for making laws and not
bad politics.
1t had, by a strictly party vote,
placed the silver question on a basis
that will lead naturally to free coinage
and disarm all opposition among
financiers.
1t has taken up the work of read
justment of the tariff in patriotic and
busiless-like way, such as will protect
the interest of labor and at the same
time encourage capital to enterprise
that will furnish 1t with employment
at good wages.
