ger be used as money.
This convention recognizes James
B. Weaver of Iowa and James q.
Field of Virginia as the only candi-
dates for President and vice-presi-
dent who are friends to the use of
silver as money, and the free and
unlimited coinage of that metal; and
we heartily and unequivocally in
dorse Weaver and Field as the stan
dard bearers of the Silver party of
Nevada and pledge them our sup
port. The nominees of this conven-
are also hereby pledged to work and
vote for the standard bearers OF our
cause, and to use every honorable
means to defeat the enemies of silver
Harrison and Cleveland.
This convention repudiates the
sham pretense that Weaver will be
defeated and that votes for him will
be lost. Every great reform must
have beginning. Too much time
has already been lost in voting for
the agents of the gold trust, which
action has paralyzed the industries
of the country and ruined silver mln-
ing in Nevada. The Endorsement
already given by the silver States q
the advocates of gold ii former Ell
ections is used as an argument to
show that the silver States them
selves are opposed to the flse and
unlimited coinage Of silver. The
movement for SLY r is now advanc-
ing with resistless force under tha
lead OF our gallant standard bearer
James b. Weaver. The people Of
Nevada will not stay tie tide by vot
ing for either Harris II or Cleveland,
the rep -esentatives Of gold mono.
oily, but will proclaim to their friends
throughout the country that Nevada
stands firm against the usurpatlon OF
federal power in local elections and
against the gold monopoly Of Europe
and America.
The platform and resolutions of
the convention of the Silver party OF
Nevada held at Reno on the oath
of June, 1892, are hereby approved
and adopted, ana Hon. Thomas
Wren of Eureka, Hon. NJ. S. Bonni>
field of Winnemucca and Hon. G. G.
Powning of Reno, who were nomi-
mated at that Convention as presi-
dental electors, are hereby directed
to cast their votes in the electoral
college for James B. Weaver of Iowa
for President and James G. Field of
Virginia for Vice>presldent
This convention indorses the course
of our Senator, the Hon. Wm. NJ.
Stewart, in his untiring and success
full efforts in the cause of silver, and
in securing the defeat Of the force

Government building; IN establishing

CATION canal; in obtaining the passage
of the bill providing for the payment
Of the Piute war claims repeatedly
through the Senate; in compiling the
evidence and securing the adjustment
in the var department. of the rebel
lion claims, amounting to over $780,
coo, in securing favorable reports III
both houses of Congress for the pay
ment of the same, and in having a
bill passed through the Senate for
that purpose; in taking advantage Of

passage-of the Scott Law for the ex-
clusion of Chinese, and for his iidel-
ity IN attending to all the business
and interests of the people Of Nevada.

Senate as Nevada's champion III the
cause of silver.
All nominees Of this Convention
are required to accept this platform
and resolutions, and pledge them
selves in good faith to adhere to and
be bound by the principles herein
enunciated.
Resolved. That the railroad as a
factor in our civilization is only valu-
able as safe. cheap and rapid means
of transportation for persons and
property. That the monopoly of
railroads has subverted their useful
ness to the people by mismanagement
in operation, converting them into
dear means of transportation. We,
therefore, heartily endorse the scheme
of the San Francisco and Great Salt
Lake railroad company to construct a
competing line of road across our
State and country.
