and % against 1t. In other words 81 per
cent. of the Republicans voted against silver,
while 81 per cent. ofthe Democrats vote for 1t.
So MING UP.
Such is a recital of the infamous deeds of
the once honored party. which the lofty and
immortal Sumner, Seward and Chase and
Greeley and Phillips and Adams organized
and led to victory, and which they and each
of them abandoned and spurned more than
twenty years ago; which to-day. corrupted
and dishonored, and recreant to every prin-
ciple which made 1t glorious, has fallen I'M
der the degenerate leadership of Tom Reed.

a lot of bosses, money-bags and mounte-
banks too contemplate to mention.
THE FORCE BILL.
We denounce and condemn the Republican
majority in the national House of Represen-
tatIyes for the passage of the Infamous Force
bill by which that majority, masquerading
uuder the guise ofa free ballot and fair count,
seeks to perpetnate itself In power by insidi-
ously destroying the liberties of American
citizens usurping the legitimate functions OF
State Governments and bringing the Federal
machinery into intern conflict and
collision with the statutory rights of the
people of the various cemmonwealths OF
the Union. We hold that this species OF
Eederal interference with the people in he
registration of their sovereign will Is des-
potic and centralizing In its tendencies; dan
eerous to the liberty, peace and prosperity
of the people; and direct contraventi0n of
the principles of tree Government as be
ousathed TO us by the trainers of the Consti-
tuition. For these crimes the Republican
party of the State Is in part responsible and
wholly responsible for greater legal otfenses.
THE STATE GOVERNMENT.
The Republican party of this State began
its career OF dshonor and ruin in 1864, when
our wealth and population were moro than
double wi hat they are Today, when our yet
undeyeloped silver industry gave greater
promise than on any other part OF the earth.
when the State was honored and our people
respected wherever known, and when we
had reason to hope thai Nevada would be-
come one of the grandest, the richest and
most populons OF tho great slsterhood of
States Our hopes have been blasted and
overthrow. In the interest OF Oflice-seekers
tho Republican party of Nevada has created
unnecessary offices, manipulated deputyships
and established extra sagaat fees and UMPIRE
cedented salaries.
CALIFORNIA PREFERRED TO NEVADA.
1t has enacted laws and instituted a sys-
tenn of business which enriched and popula-
ted the state of California. az the cost Of the
State of Nevada; which made it more profit
able to reside and do business In San Frau
cisco than in Nevada. OF the hundreds OF
corporations owning mines and mining upon
the great Comstock lode. but one is eynda
corporation. The rest arc nonresident and
not amenable 10 our courts, with their disee-
and drawing salaries which OF right belong
to people.
the mines not ten millions remtin in the
State The mines, the greatest source of
our wealth, have fallen into the hands Of co :
porations and spectators. Not only the
business of mining and milling ores, but the
business of manufacturing lumber. square
tim bers and wood; the business Of supplying
WATER fuel aud lights. In short, every pront-
able industry, ii monoDolized, dragged and
plundered until nothing Is left to our people
but the we ched piItanee called The wages
of labor. The state Is literally The spoil of
the monopolist.
ABUSE or THE LAND LAWS.
The public lands. which should have been
sold IN small holdings TO settlers. have been
contracted 10 spectators aad cattle kings in
tracts large enough for counties, aud IN pl &C

DECREASE OF WEALTH AND POPULATION.

ma decrcascn TO s0.9h, and our taxable wealth
which should be- Sln,D0,mO il less than

RoBBlsG THE SCHOOL FUND.
Tho Republican party has robbed tho
school fund solemnly dedicated 10 the educa-
ton OF our children and substituted for the
money a worthless promise, which IL pro-
vides shall never be puid.
Under its management our industries have
beer paralyzed and arc no longer prohiaDle;
taxes have increased until Ia many places
property is yalueless; immigration has
ceased and the State is is beLg depodulated
IMPORTED SENATOR'S.
II has 70 often imported candidates for
Office into the State, often exposed the
great office Of senator for sale, so often cor
rupted the ballot box that we have been
stigmatized as the ''rotten borough aud have
the nostrls Of the English speaking people.
To correct these wrongs and reform these
abuses is the mission of the Democratic party
and to he accomplishing OF his great work
we eolemnly pledge ourselves.
