Resolutions reported the following
PLATFORM:
The Democratic party OF the State
OF Nevada, in delegate convention as
sembled at Winnemucca, May 26th,
1892, declares its fealty TO Democratic
principles and its unalterable devo-
4 ton TO bimetallism and the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
We, the accredited representatives
Of the Democracy Of Nevada, denouncee
the demonetization act OF 1873, and
arraign its authors and maintainers,
their aiders and abettors in Europe
and America, as enemies OF the pub.
lie veal, co-workers in the crime oil
legislating for the favored classes TO
the detrirnent OF the toiling masses.
We denounce the demonstration OF
silver as having no parallel in the
yickedness OF its conception, or in the
atrocity OF its contamination, except
in the methods used by class OF big
and little politicians, the puppet OF the
gold bug oligarchy, to defeat the re-
storation OF its use as money.
In this great contest between the
people and the foreign and domestic
gold trusts and combines, we hold all
free coinage men and parties as
friends, all others as enemies.
Therefore, Resolved, That our dele
gates TO the Democratic National Con-
vention, to be held on the 2lst day Of
June next, ensuing, at the city OF
Chicago are hereby instructed TO use
all honorable means TO secure the
adoption OF a plank in the national
platform declaring explicitly and un-
reservedly in favor of the free coinage
OF silver at the ratio OF 10 to / OF gold,
and under no circumstances to vote for
any man for the nomination to the
office OF President or Vice President
Of the United States, unless he shall
be unqualifiedly in favor OF free coin
age and shall stand upon free coin
age platform.
Resolved, That the Democratic
party. adhering TO its traditional
monetary policy, demands the enforce
ment OF that provision OF the constitu-
ton OF the United States, which de-
clares that Congress shall "coin
money" and regulate the value
thereof" and pledges itself 10 favor
the repeal Of all laws which discrimiu-
ate between the coinage and use OF
gold and silver money, and 10 favor
the enactment Of law providing for
the free coinage Of gold and silver,
each to be legal tender for public
dues and all private and public debts.
Resolved. That we favor "revenne
REFORM" including revision OF the
tariff laws, so that taxes will be re-
duced, the burdens OF the consumer
lightened, wealth compelled to con-
tribute its just portion to the support
OF the government, and protection
given to the labor, instead OF the
capital employed in American in
dustry.
Resolved, That we favor most un-
equivocally a competing railroad line
through the State to Western tide
ators and Representative in Congress
use all honorable means to further
such an enterprise. We furthermore
recommend that the Democratic
County Conventions pledge their
legislative nominees to vote for no
man for United States Senator who
will not pledge himself to use his ut
most endeavors to afford to the peo-
pie OF this State such relief as can
only result by such competing line.
Resolved, That we favor the elec-
tion OF Democrat TO the Senate OF
the United States--a man who is an
actual resident and bona fide in
habitant OF Nevada, and who is
neither the attorney nor agent OF the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
Resolved, That in the event OF the
Chicago National Convention failing
10 nominate candidates who are un-
equivocally in favor Of free coinage of
silver and upon free coinage plat
form, the nominees of this convention
are hereby absolved from all obliga-
tons to support the nominees OF the
national Democratic party.
