The Silver Pledge.

As>the people Of Nevada are be.
coming stirred up over the silver ques-
tion, and are organizing Silver
Leagues throughout the State on the
plan adopted by the colorado Silver
men, we give below the pledge adopted
by the Colorado Silver League, as fol-
lows:
"This organization, however, asks
no member tn torsake bis party afilia-
tions until the Forthcoming National
Convention of his party shall have
neglected or refused to comply with
our request for the nomination OF a
free coinage candidate for the Presi-
dencY, on a free coinage platform.
With this end in view we urge the
most perfect county and precinct or
ganization. We urge the most faith
full and ,dlligent attention to the pri-
maries, to the end that the county
and State Conventions may not be
controlled by professional politicians.
We urge that the delegations to the
National Conventions shall be COM
posed of the very best men that the
respectiveparties in our State can
produce : always giving due notice,
however, hat no candidate whom
such National Convention shall norui-
nate snail receive or support at the
polls unless he shall unqualiiiedly
favor the full reconciliation of silUer,
and shail stand squarely on a free
coinage PLATFORM"
