WHEREAS, A1r. Harrison has repu
dated the platform of his party made
at Minneapolis, whichw was sufficiently
radical for gold to satisfy the gold
press, and now declares i'll his letter
of acceptance that he is opposed to
independent action on the part of
the United States, but is in favor of
an international conference, provided
the ratio can be so changed as to
make the commercial value of the
fsiIvcr dollar equal to the commercial
yalVa Of the gold dollar, which it i'm
POSSIBLE for the marked price of sill

Whereas. the administration and
the gold men in the Republican party
Ill the 51st congress conspired to con-
solidate the government by deprivlng
the people q free ballot by the
passage of the odious force bill, which
provides for the appointment Of an
unlimited number of supervisors of
election and deputy marshals, to be
paid out of the treasury of the
United States from a standing APP
preparation. This would enabled the
executive to have hundreds of thous
ands Of political workers at the polls,
With power Of supervision of the re-
turn. of elections throughout the
United States; and
Whereas, All the silver men in the
house Of representatives except those
from the mining states, were bitterly
opposed to the force bill and regarded
is destructive of free government
AMI designed to secure negro doIal>
nation il the south; and
Wkera is, The force bill passed the
house Of representatives by only six
majority, aud the following 50 called
silver Republicans, namely: Hosea
Tow nsen1 oI { .orado; II, f. Bartine
Nevada; Blnger Hermann, Oregon,
and Ihos Fl. Carter Montana, had
the power to defeat it by severinG
themselves from the gold advocates
and Joining with the friends of silver,
but they refused to do so, and there

yer producing states and the great
mass IF silver men in the west and
south, which. has ever since contrib
uted to prevent the passage Of free
coinage bill IL the house; and
Whereas, William NJ. Stewart was
the first Republican in the senate to
join hands with the silver men in the
Democratic party in the defeat
of the force bill in the senate and by
his efforts, with the aid of portion
of the silver Republicans, rescued the
country from the calamity which that
revolutionary measure would have
caused, aud silver party was created
in the senate sufficiently stroug to
pass through that body in the last
and in the present congress a free
coinage bill pure and simple. The
bill which passed in the 52d congress
was postponed in the house and is
still pending for action; and
WHEREAS, the Endorsement of the
HARRISON policy Of the federal inter
ference in local elections, as exem
pllfed in the force bill, would place
the tate Of Nevada in opposition to
the friends of silver throughout the |
country; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the silver party of
Nevada condemns the policy of the
ClavaIond administrati., for its eff |
