Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1892-10-08

ers so to change the ratio between
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 unequivocally 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 tbs conven-
are also hereby pledged to work and
vote fo- the standard bearers of ou1
cause, and to use every honorable
means to defeat the enemies of silver
Harrison ar 4 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 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 niu-
ing in Nevada. The Endorsement
already given by the silver States of
the advocates bf gold in former ell
ections is used as an argument to
show that the silver States them
selves are opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver. The
movement for silver is now advanc-
ing with resistles force under the
lead of our gallant standard bearer
James i. Weaver. The people Of
Nevada will not stay the tide by yot-
ing for either Harrison or Cleveland,
the representatives of gold monor
oily, but will 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
The platform and resolutions of
the convention of the Silver party of
Nevada held at Reno on the oath
of June, 1892, are hereby approved

Wren of Eureka, Hon. NJ. S. Bonni~
field of Winnemucca and Hon. c. c.

mated at that Convention as presi-
dental electors, are hereby directed

college for James B. Weaver of Iowa
for President and James G. Field Of
Virginia for Vice>president.
