the State of Nevada. and in view OF this be-
fore the hope Of Office had clouded the minds
OF our citizens the r. public all Convention ar

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 are opposed to elevating any person
to office who Is not known tn be unequivOcally
In faVCr OF opening the mints Of the United
States to the free aud unlimited coinsge of
silver"
And on the 2Sth day of last May the Demo-
cratic party assembled in convention at Win
nemucca, gave TO its delegates to the National
Convention the following instructions:
"Under no circumstances to vote for any man
for the nomination to the Office of President
or Vice-Pcesi 'ent OF the United States unless
he shall be unqualifi dly in favor of free COIN
age and shall stand upon free coinage plat
form"
And WHEREAS, Both the Republican and
the democratic National Convictions nomi-
mated candidates. for President and Vice presi-
dent who are opposed to free coinage and in
favor of the single gold sandard We believe
that no Democ' NJ or Republican eau. vote for
e,ther Harrison or Cleveland witbonr violating
the principles OF his party rs declared in the
virginia ,ity and Winnemucca Conventions
Tne strength of the gold monopoly is repre-
sented In London, New York, AID other com

this Countrywide South and tile West-to
poverty and want. The outh and the West
have a common cause and n common induce.
ment To resist the encroachments OF IL @ bon.
holding aud money-lOaning East. Every effort
has been aud il being made to separate tina
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 &c he IN, for
that purpose was the Infamous Force Bill"
which, by 1t provisions, conferred upon the

fishing monarchy 10 strengthen the gold
comli Iaiion, except the Members of Congress
from the silver States: who, under pariy lash
joined the gold combination aud passed
