/
J., B. Weaver of Iowa and James G
Field of Virginia as the only candi
s dates for President and vice-presi
: dent who are friends to the use @
: silver as money, and the free an
: unlimited coinage of that metal; an,
: we heartily and unequiyocally in
b dorse Weaver and Field as the stan
y dard bearers of the Silver party O
3 Nevada and pledge them our sup
r port. The nominees of this conven-
/ are also hereby pledged to work anC
vote for the standard bearers of oul
: cause, and to use ev0y 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 min
ing in Nevada. The Endorsement
already given by the silver States of
the advocates of gold in former ell
ectlons 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 our gallant standard bearer
James L. Weaver. The people of
Nevada will not stay the tide by vot-
ing for either Harrison or Cleveland,
the representatives. of gold monoD-
oily, but will proclaim to their 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.
The platform and resolutions Ct
the convention of the Silver party of
Nevada held at Reno on the oath
of June, 1892, are hereby approved
and adopted, ana Hon. Thomas
Wren Of Eureka, Hon. NJ. S. Bonni>
