gold and silver that silver can no lon
ger be used as money.
This convention recognizes James
B. Weaver of Iowa and James g..
Field of Virginia as the only candi-
dates for President and vice-presi-
dent who are friends to the use of
silver as money, and the free and
unlimited coinage Of that metal; and
we heartily and unequlvocally in
dorse Weaver and Field as the stan
dard bearers of the Silver party OF
Nevada and pledge them our sup
port. The nominees Of this conven-
are also hereby pledged to work and
vote for the standard bearers Of our
cause, and to use every honorable
/ means to defeat the enemies Of silver
Harris and Cleveland.
This convention repudiates the
sham pretense that Weaver viii be
defeated ard that votes for him will
be lost. Every great reform must
have beginning. Too mHc!i time
has already been lost II votiug FOR
tie agents Of the gold trust, which
acton has paraiyzed the Industries
Of the country and i@ll9ed silver lsln-
ing in Nevada. 'lae Endorsement
already given by the silver States u
the advocates Of gold il loraer el~
ections is used IS an argument to
show that the silver States chem
selves are opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage If silver. 4he
movement for s4lser is now a9yanc-
ing with res ;stless force under the
lead of our gallant standard bearer
James Il. Weaver. The people of
Nevada will not stay the tide by vet
ing for either Harris u OF Cleveland,
the representatives Of gold mono
oily, but will proclaim to the friends
throughout the country that Nevada
stands firm against the usurpatlon Of
federal power in local electors and
against the gold monopoly of Europe
and America.

Resolved. That the railroad as
factor in our civilization is only valu-
able as a safe. cheap and rapid means
Of transportation for pers ons and
property. That the mono poly OF
railroads has subverted their useful
ness to the people by Encouragement
in operation, converting them into
dear means of transportation. We
therefore, heartily endorse the scheme
Of the San Francisco and Great Salt
Lake railroad company TO construct a
competing line of road across our
State and country.
