ton of manufacturers, its upholdine 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, 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.

Provision is being made for the recla-

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 ou
of the country. American laborers ant
mechanics protected, agriculture is en-
couraged by department intelligent,
conducted for its benefit, and the law,
administered in wise, firm and patri

and State expenditures.
We pledge our nominees to system
of State improvements which shall say,

idle.
We indorse the measure introduced
by Senator Stewart proposing to ced,
the lands within our lines to the Stat
for the purpose of aiding to improve on
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 Senator
and Representative in Congress, an,
commend their efforts to establish on
better basis the use of silver as money
and reaffirm our uncompromising de
mand for 1.-The free coinage of both gol
and silver and their equal station in GU
national currency.
