F6lltiOn dSSGulOleu Ut Wlnnemucca
Nevada, declares as follows:
Whereas, Mr.. Cleveland wa
elected in 1884 ON the following sill
yer platforms; 1--WE believe in hon
est money, the gold and silver coin
Eage of the constitution, and circu-
lating medium convertible into sucl
money withoutloss;" and immedlatel,
after the election recommended thu
repeal of the Bland act and the uttel
decentralization o. silver, and uset
the entire influence Of his admins
traticn to reduce the money of the
world to the single gold standard,
and was defeated by the people in
1888; and
Whereas, Mr. Harrison in 1858
was elected Gu the following plat
form: ''The Republican party is in
favor Of the use Of boeh gold and sis
yer as money, and condemns the
policy Of the Democratic admins
tIation i'll lis efforts to demo 4etize
silver" and after his election insist
ed upon the repeal Of the Bland act
and che substitution therefor of he
celebrated Window silver bullion
bill, by he terms which bullion was
to be deposited in the treasury and
certificates issued therefor; redeem
able II bullion, not i'll money, which
would have placed silver upon like
footing with wheat, corn.or any other
commodity deposited and warehouse
receipts issued thereon. The COM
promise act Of 1890 was extorted
from him to save the tariff, and since
It's passage every beneficial feature
it contained has been thwarted by the
of the government
aud the refusal of the treasury de-
partment, by direction of the presi-
dent, t use silver as money or to
coin silver, a. CURED by the act,
to provide fol re redemption of the
treasury notes issued IN the purchase
of bullion; and
WHEREAS, Mr.. Harrison has repu-
dated the platform of his party made
1t Minneapolis, which was sufficiently |
radical for gold to satisfy the gold
press, and now declares in his letter I
II acceptance that he is opposed to
action on the part of
he United States, but is in favor of
IN international conference, provided
he ratio can be So changed as to
make the comic ,rcial value Of the
liver dollar equal to the commercial
-alue of the gold dollar, which it inn
possible for the marked prlce of sill
er ever ] reafter to advance He
would take advantage of the bear
Of the conspiracy between
England and the treasury depar.
aent to iepress the price Of silver,
nd he combination Of the nations of
he world maintain for the benefit Of
he owners Of gold such depressed

Whereas, the administration and
he gold men III the Republican party
4 the Dist congress conspired to con !
llilate the government by deprivlng !
ne people of free ballot by the
assaee of the edious force bill, which i
royides for the appointment Of an
unlimited number of supervisors of I
lection and deputy marshals, to be '
MD out of the treasury of the {
nited States from a standing ap- G
opriation. This would enabled the c
lecutive to have hundreds of thous- c
Ids Of political workers at the polls, t
ith power of supervision Of the re- g
rms of elections throughout the i
nited States; and i
Whereas, All the silver men in the c
1ase Of representatives except those
onI the mining states, We're bitterly Il
posed to the force bill and regarded b
as destructive of free government t
ID designed to secure negro lon,i~ a
,tion IN the south; and P
Whereas, The force bill passed the c
1use of representatives by only six il
ajority, and the following o-called IA
lver Republicans, namely: Hosea
awnsend Of Colorado; II, F. Bartine o
evada; Binger Hermann, Oregon, 5
Il Thos Fl. Carter Montana, had c.
e power to defeat it by severing
emselves from the gold advocates a
ID joining with the friends of silver, a
1t they refused to do 50, and there st
created breech between the sil b
