PLATFORM.
We, the Republicans of Nevada in State
| Convention assembled, herby renew our
pledges of fealty to those principles of Re
publicanism which have made our country
land of liberty in fact as well as in name, and
which have carried the American union for
| ward on q career of intellectual and indus
| trial development until 1t stands without
parallel in the history of the world.
While regretting that the administration
of President Harrison has not been in full
accord with our views upon the great ques-
ton of finance. we deem 1t but proper that
we as Americans and Republicans, should
express the pleasure and pride which We feel
in com plimsnting his otherwise most excel
lent administration, bsolutely free from the
faintest suspicion Of corruption. wise and
patriotic in its conduct of internal affairs,
broad, generous and dignified in it's foreign
policy, it is entitled to the respect and adj
miration of every American citizen who loves
his country as whole.
We regard the question of complete re-
monetization of silver upon bi-metallic prin'
ciples as the most important economic prob
lem confronting the people Ut the United
States, and of almost vital Significance to the
people of Nevada. In dealing with this
question we assume position of perfect in-
dependence regardless OF all national parties
and platforms and proclaim ourselves as be,
ing most heartily and unreservedly in favor Of
the free coinage of silver, with full legal ten.
der functi ons accorded to each Is the correct
and logical solution of this great question.
While, owing to the unfortunate commercial
relations existing abroad, silver has fallen
lower than ever before. We nevertheless be.
| lieve that the cause for which we are con-
tending has gained substantial ground. Step
by step our opponents have been forced to
abandon every principle for which they have
hitherto contended, and the ability of the
United States by it's own unaided action to
solve this problem is now the sole issue be-
tween us. In this behalf we look forward
with hope and with encouragement to the
coming international monetary conference
most cordially approve the selection of our
senior Senator, Hon. John p. Jones as a
member on the part of the United States to
said conference, but at the same time affirm
ing our unmistaken confidence in the power
of the American republic by its own legisla.

simple matter of justice to the silver miner
and the business interests of the country.
We warn the voters of Nevada against the
danger of cutting loose from the old time
mornings, believing that the inevitable result
will be to sink the cause of silver in vor-
tex of free-tradeism, greenbackism, commun-
ism and all the visionary and Objectionable
''isms" known to American politics.
We strongly urge the Development Of the
State upon every possible line, and as Ne
vada needs more railroad facilities, we hail
with delight the prospect of the construction
of the San Francisco and Salt Lake railroad.
We heartily indOrse the action Of the last
Legislature in granting substantial aid to the
Nevada and Utah air line. with the hope that
it might form connecting link in trans
continental route.
The construction If the Nicaragua canal un'
der the control of the Government Of the
Government of the United States is approved.
The action of the last Legislature is q
securce of pride in tine administration of all
pledges of economy in State and county gov.
ernment, and we invoke calm and deliber'
ate judgment of the people of the State d
Nevada.
