ger be used as money.
This convention recognizes James
B. Weaver of Iowa and James G
Field of Virginia as the only candi-
dates for President and vlce-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 viii
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 tie industries
of the country and ruined silver min
ing in Nevada The Endorsement
already given by the silver States of
the advocates Of gold III former Ell
ections is used as an argument to
show that the silver States them
selves are opposed 10 the free ana
unlimited coinage of silver. The
movement for silvzr is now aGvanc-
ing with resis5lesS force under the
lead of our gallant standard bearer
James b. Weaver. The people Of
Nevada will not stay the tide by vot
ing for either Harris II or Cleveland,
the representatives of gold monos
oily, but will proclaim to then friends
throughout the country that Nevada
stands firm against the usurpation of
federal power in local elections and
against the gold monopoly of Europe
and America.
