NOW, as 10 General Weaver, knew
that gentleman in Congress. I con-
suited with him from day to day.
He is a strong, straightforward, hon.
est man. He is sincere in his con-
victions. He separated from his
party because his party was under
the control Of corrupt corporations.
He ia silver man and understands
the subject. His record in Congress
on the silver question is all that
could be desired. He is strong in his
expressions in favor OF silver, aud in
argument liz able to meet the ablest.

the superior by far, of either OF the
other candidates for President. He

OF him that he ran as q greenback
candidate for President. / have sx-
amined the platform upon which he
stood at that time. 1t declares
against national baaks and in favor OF
the government issuing money direct
ly and not indirectly. The national
banks, when the government was in
distress, obtained from Congress a
subsidy which amounted to fifteen
millions year for many years to issue
the government paper. This subsidy
built up an aristocracy and all that
was required Of 1t WIS that John Doe
should indorse the United states. Is
the national bank currency any more
acceptable to the people than green
backsF or course not. What Gen
eral Weaver advocated is the policy
OF the government. No man but John
Sherman dare suggest the idea Of is
suing more bonds to be ueed as an Gd-

So. The movement that he was then
opposing the whole country has since
repudiated. Nobody defends it.. But
he had in that platform of 1880 the
following words: I'VE demand the
free and unlimited coinage of silver"
Now is it disgraceful TO vote for
man with such record; to vote for n
friend, to vote for u man who agrees
with US?
1t is claimed that Weaver cannot
DO elected. Those are not good and
brave soldiers who jump about for
thr strong side. am glad that Ne

and cast her lot with him.

and Field. Tremendous applause. |
and further because, whether elected
or not, the protest of this State
against The two nominees nominated
by the manipulation of the gold ring
will be- valuable. 1t will make us
friends who will aid US 10 secure free
coinage. 1t ID The only way in which
We can get it. If Nevada is welded
to and associates with the gold trust
and spurns all who are for free coin
ago and joins the gold ring IN every
thing she cannot secure free coinage.
The majority of our enemies passed
the force bill, not one Of them will vote
TO give us the free coinage of silver
They will use your vote To fight your
friends, no you 500 that it is impossi-
BILE for man who is for free coinage
TO support either Harrison or Cleve-
land.
Now as to my position, / do not
want it misunderstood at all. / am
for Weaver and Field for President
and Vice-President of the United
States, prolonged applausel and
am for bold front to the enemy
Now / want TO warn you against the
difficulties under which the Peoples
party has laborsd for the last ton
yekrs-dissensions among yourselves.
There is plenty OF dissension in the
two old parties in the State. We will
