Tho committee on Platform and
Resolutions reported as follows, and
tho'report was adopted:
To The CHAIRMAN OF THE ELxo COUNTY Sill.
YER CONVENTION:
We. your Committee on Resolutions and
Platform, big leave TO submit the following
declaration of principles: ..
We demand the free aud unlimited coinage
of silver anI gold at the present ratio of is to l.
We believe that the time ha now come when
party prejudices and party names should be
laid aside by every citizen OF Nevada and. q
united Ind earnest effort made as one man to
re.estHbiish the industries OF our State by ell.
dorsing the platform and supporting the
nominees Of tn Omaha Convention, james Is.
Weaver and James &. Field.
We believe that the names Democrat aud
Republican should not be allowed to divide
the friends Of free coinage Of silver ard that
ali who think slike should act together regard
less of past party names and past parry afiilia-
tions.
Abe crime Of 1873. demonetixng silver, has
destroyed the prosperity and nearly ruined
the State OF Nevada. and In view of this, be-
of our citizens the Republi all Convention ar
sembled at Virginia City on the aOth day of
April. 1892, mad the manhuod to adopt the
following resolu ion as the fundamental creed
of that party, to-wit:
"REsoLyED. That the people OF Nevada are
in favor of the coinage OF silver upon the same
conditions which apply to the coinage Of gold,
and they arc opposed to elevAtiug any person
to office who is not known t, lie uucquivocally
in favor o. opening tho minis Of the United
States TO the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver"
And on the 28th day OF last May the Demo-
cratic party assembled IN convention Mt Win.
nemucca, gave To its delegates 10 the National
Convention the following instruct Obs:
"Under no circumstances TO vote for any man
for the nomination TO the ONCE of President
or yice-Presi. ent OF the United States unless
he shall be unqusiifi diy in favor of free COIN
age and shall stand upon free coinage plat.
form"
And wHEREAs. Both tho Republican and
the JenaocrHt.c National Conventions nomi'
mated candidates for President and vice-P rOsi.
dent who are opposed to free coinage and in
favor OF the single gold standard. We believe
that no DeInoc, NJ or Republican can vote for
either Harrison or Cleveland without violating
the principles OF his parry as declared in the
Virginia City aud winnemucca Conventions.

has been and is being made to separate the
West from The South and by that means divide
the friends OF silver and secure the triumph OF,
gold monopoly. One Of the rec ent schem. for
that purpose was the Infamous "Force Bill"
which, by 1t provisions. conferred upon tho
Federal Administration the power TO control
locsl elections, both State and Federal
throughout the United States. The friends OF
silver were opposed to this scheme OF estab.

SenAior Wm. NJ. Stew art was The most active
