B. Weaver of Iowa and James u.
Field of Virginia as the only candi-
) dates for President and vice 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 will
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 the industries
/ of the country and ruined silver mip
ing in Nevada The Endorsement
already given by the silver States Of
the advocates Of sold in former el>
ections is used as an argument to
show that the silver States them
selves are opposed . the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver. The
movement for sii4 r is now aavanc
ing with resiseiasS force under the
lead of our e.tllaut standard bearer
James i. Weaver. The people Of
Nevada will not stay the tide by yot
ing for either Harris Il or Cleveland,
the representatives Of gold mono9-
oily, but will proclaim to their friends
throughout the country that Nevada
stands firm against the usurpation of
federal power in local electlous and
against the gold monopoly Of Europe
and America.
