their bullion In a fluctuating market,

6. We endorse the Silver League
movement as earnest non-partisan
effort in the interest of free coinage,
and pleged ourselves and the nomi-
nees of this convention, to stand by
its pledge and principals until the
fight is finished. We point with
pride to the success of the leagues in
every contest with the adherents of
the old parties, who are striving to
sink the cause of free coinage in the
interest of party supremacy, but
thus far, the leagues presenting a
bold determined front, have saved
the reputation of Nevada in their
advocacy of the white metal, and
have proclaimed to the country at
Ia rye that our actions are consistent
with our professions. With the
leagues united battle begun will
always be battle won.
7. We demand the free and unlirn-
tied coinage of silver at the present
ratio of l6 to l. and pledge ourselves
and the nominees of this convention
to unceasing agitation and content
ion, in the interest of the whole PEG
pie, to the accomplishment of the
end sought-the restoration of the
silver dollar of the Constitution and
| of the people, to its lawful place as
occupied prior to the characterization
act.
8. We endorse the Silver Party
Ticket from topic bottom, and pledge
| the nominees of this convention to
support and vote for the same, firm
| ly believing that its nominees are
the most consistent advocates OF the
principles we have enumerated to-
day, and as the only ticket in the
field having the courage to fly in the
free of the gold bug coharts the free
coinage banner. In unmistakeables
strong and earnest language, the
platform Of the Silver Party has
taken it's stand with the people on
that vital, burning question-the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
In Francis q. Newlands we have an
earnest, able and courageous advo-
cate of free coinage, who has been
untiring in his efforts on behalf of
Nevada for years. He has the cour-
age of his convictions, and has cut
loose from party ties, that he may
fight untrammeled fer Nevada in
this great question. The course of
Hon. Wm. NJ. Stewart we most heart
lily approve. He needs no eulogium
at our hands. His name is house
hold word in Nevada, while through
out the world the cause of the white
metal and the name of Wm. NJ.
Stewart are inseparable. His record
as an advocate of Nevada's every
interest during long career of pub
lie service is unimpeachable. His
name is the synonym of honesty and
ability. He has elected to continue
the fight for the people as the candi-
date of the Silver Party for reelec-
tion to the u. $. Senate, and heartily
approving of his candidacy we here
by pledge the nominees of the legis-
lative ticket of this convention if
elected, to vote for his return to the
L. S. Senate, first, last and all the
time, and to use all honorable means
to accomplish that end.
To THE VorERs OF LYON COUNTY:
Our work is done, and the rest
lies with you. We have sunk party
feeling from sense of fidelity to our
State, and kept steadily in view the
success of the free coinage issue.
Our aims have been to give you a
free coinage platform, and legisla-
tive ticket worthy of your support,
pledged to Vim. NJ. Stewart. We
have thought and worked only for
Nevada, her interests, our homes and
firesides. Every child knows that
the success of the free coinage issue
is life and wealth to Nevada; its ex-
tinction death and decay. Should
the latter event come to pass we will
have to abandon our homes, gather
our household gods together, and go,
whittier? Who has been our most
able champion before the public in
this fight? Vim. NJ. Stewart! His
voice has always been uplifted in
our couse, at every opportunity. He
is giant in the senate and feared
and dreaded more by the gold bugs
than all the other free coinage advo-
Gates. a conspiracy is on foot to de-
feat him, and it emanates in the
East. The gold bugs want his scalp;
he is their most bitter, untiring, TN
relenting foe. With him out of the
way they see the settlement of this
vcxed question in their favor. They
will stop at no means to accomplish
his defeat, The failure of our peo-
pie to elect him would be a national
calamity, calamity to the silver
cause, and the death blow to Nevada.
Shall this great friend and champion
of silver be stricken down in his own
State? Judge and weigh well your
actions, and may your decision be
for the right, This is the darkest
hour of our States existence, and
we need the best and bravest men on
guard. Let Nevada vindicate her
self in the eyes of the world; return
Stewart to the Senate, and send
Newlands to Congress and all will
be well, for our fight will be half
won,
HENRY WooD,
