gold and silver that silver can no lon
ger be used as money.
This convention recognizes Jane
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 o
silver as money, and the free anC
unlimited coinage of that metal; anC
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 oul
cause, and to use every 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 a 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 i'll former ell
! ectIons is used as an araEm It to
show that the silver States eaem-
selves are opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver. The
movement for SLY is now advanc-
ing with resistless force under the
lead of our gallant standard bearer
James B. Weaver. The people Of
Nevada will not stay the tide by vot
ing for either Harris or Cleveland,
the representative of gold monoi3-
oily, but viii 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.
