rousing cheers for the ticket. The
platform and resolutions were unani-
mously adopted and are as follows:
The Representatives of the people
of White Pine County Nevada, in Con-
vention assembled at Ely, Nevada
September 25th, 1894. Assert;
First-We favor the Coinage of
Silver at the ratio of 16 to l by the
American Congress regardless of what
any other nation may do.
Second-The Silver question being
the paramount issue of our time should
be urged at all times in advance of all
other questions of State or National
importance. All friends of the white
metal should remember that "United
we stand divided we fall" We ques-
ton the judgement of our much res
pected fellow citizens who hope to
accomplish the rehabliment of silver
by following political parties led by
John Sherman and Grover Cleveland.
Third-The wage Garner, the far
mer, the miner, the wool grower and
all other producers, are entitled to live
as become American freemen, with
out being placed upon level with the
poorest paid labor on earth; therefore
we ask and demand protection to Ne
vada interests from the next Congress
and concede as much to the rights of
each and everyother State without dis
| CTlIullldLlOuJ lOL VI dSulAl0o "AAJ oSS1AOAA
of our common country.
Fourth-When the managers of
great corporations proclaim themselves
above and superior to City, County,
State or National authority; when
President Of the United States and the
Federal courts, Qess few very honor
able exceptions) hasten to do the bid
ding of the afore mentioned corpora
tons by ordering the United States
Army to suppress and dispense gather
ings of working men, for no other or
crater crime than that of organizing
for mutual counsel and protection, or
quitting work when the exactions of
the purse proud subjects of Pluto be-
came unbearable, then we think it time
for State and National law makers to
commence to legislate in the interests,o
the common people, having legislated
to long in the interests of the SO called
higher classes.
Fifth-We favor the strict enforce
ment of the Government claims against
subsidized rail roads, also the building
of competing lines of roads across our
State from East to West.
-Sixth-We commend and endorse
the brave and able advocacy of Silver,
and other Nevada interests in the
National Congress by our Senator'S,
John p. Jones and VIM. M Stewart
and Congressman Francis G.. New
lands.
Seventh favor the adoption of
those Constitutional amendments con-
solidating State Offices, thus saving
about fifty thousand dollars every four
years, here after, to the people of the
State.
Eighth-We demand the strictest
economy in the management of the
financial affairs of our County and
State.
Ninth-We pledge our nominee for
the Assembly and our Senator to vote
against, and to use all honorable means
to defeat all proposed Legislation in
favor of lotteries, and to vote for and
support such bills as reasonably tend
to improve our public schools.
