Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1892-10-21

ers SO to change the ratio betwee
gold and silver that silver can no lo1
ger be used as money.
This convention recognizes Jane
B. Weaver of Iowa and James
Field of Virginia as the only candi
dates for President and vice-presi
dent who are friends to the use {
silver as money, and the free all
unlimited coinage of that metal; an,
we heartily and unequivocally in
dorse Weaver and Field as the stan
dard bearers of the Silver party 0
Nevada and pledge them our sup
port. The nominees of this conven-
are also hereby pledged to work ant
vote for the standard bearers of GU
cause, and to use every honorable
means to defeat the enemies Of silyel
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 a beginning. Too much time
has already been lost IN voting fo1
the agents of the gold trust, which
action has paralyzed the industries
Of the country and ruined silver n.ia-
ing in Nevada. The Endorsement
already given by the silver States IF
the advocates Of gold iii former e.
ections is used as an argument to
show that the silver States them
selves are opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. The
movement for silver is now advanc-
ing with res .stless force under the
lead of GU; gallant standard bearer
James l.. Weaver. The people IF
Nevada will not stay the tide by sot-
ing for either Harris II or Cleveland,
the representatives of gold monos-
oily, but viii proclaim to their friends
throughout the country that Nevada
stands firm against the usurpation OF
federal power in local electors and
against the gold monopoly Of Europe
and America.
The platform and resolutions &c
the convention of the Silver party IL
Nevada held at Reno on the 24th
of June, 1892, are hereby approved
and adopted, ana Hon. Thomas
Wren of Eureka, Hon. NJ. S. Bonni>
field of Winnemucca and Hon. G. c.
Powning of Reno, who were nomi-
mated at that Convention as presi-
dental electors, are hereby directed
to cast their votes in the electoral
college for James B. Weaver Of Iowa
for President and James G. Field Of
Virginia for Vic8>president
