the National House of Representa-
tives; the corruption and treachery
through which that defeat was az
complished; the violations of SOL
emn pledges and the open, undis-
guised subserviency of successive
administrations, Republican as we'll
as Democratic, to Wall Street infiu-
ences; the contemplated treachery TO
free coinage in this State, foreshad-
owed in certain quarters by profess
ed friends of free coinage; the thor
ough organization Of the opponents
of free coinage admonish us that the
people, irrespective of party, should
organize for the purpose of giving
voice in no uncertain tone to the real
sentiments ofthe masses OF the people
OF this State upon this question, and
to promote the cause of free coinage
by the best means it is possible to
devise.
Organization and united effort are
all-power.ul. The friends of silver
should organize at once in every In
county in the State. Mining is, and
must continue 10 be far the most
important industry in the State.

and the prosperity OF all other indus
tries depend. The State Conventions
OF the respective parties to nominate
delegates to the National Conventions
are soon To meet. The resolutions
passed by these conventions upon the
silver question should be bold and
manly. There should be no coward
ly Sinking Of the question. No en-
envy OF silver should be Endorsed by
either party. The convention that
indorses an enemy OF silver will
prove itself unworthy the confidence
OF the people of this State. The man
who accepts a nomination as a dele.
gate TO either of the National Conv
tons from State Convention that
indorses an enemy of silver should
be forever politically damned.
For the purpose OF setting the ball
in motion and carrying out the views
and purposes expressed In this call
we invite all friends Of silver, ire
spective of past party affiliations, to
meet with us at the Court House in
Ely, Nevada, on Tuesday evening,
April 18th, at o'clock to organ
ize Silver League.
In response to the above called, cir
culated by ]. f. Cupid and which
received rs signatures, the citizens of
Ely assembled at the Court House 10
mass meeting Tuesday evening.

son, Secretary.
The meeting was addressed by
Judge Talbot, NJ. B. Garaghan, NJ. E.
Bassett, ID. G. Mcdonald, A. A. Mar
shall, Sol Hip, ID. G. McQuitty and
others.
The remarks of the several speak
ers were an eloquent appeal to their
hearers to throw off the yoke of party
allegiance and assert their higher
manhood by voting for no man at the
coming elections who is not pledged
to advance first, last and all the time,
the paramount interest of the State
the free coinage of silver. The speak
ers were each and all heartily APP
plauded, and the following preamble
and resolution unanimously adopted:
