ber %. 1894.
Received, That the Silver
Party sc Ormsby County endorse
each and every plank of the plat
form accepted 10y the Silver Party
of Nevada in the state Convention

That it congratulates the voters
and taxpayers of Ormsby county
upon the faithful and efficient
manner in which the nominees OF
1892 have performed the duties Of
their respective offices. thereby
enabling the Silver Party OF Orm-
shy to keep every pledge made to
the people Of the county in its
party platform prior TO election.
Since the accession of the party
to the management of county
affairs there have been no official
scandals and no Investigations by
Grand Juries, while the letting Of
fraudulent contracts in the inter-
est Of county officials has been
wholly done away with.
Each department of the County
Government has been honestly
and economically managed, with
an actual saving to the taxpayers
of nearly $40, 900 per anuum for
the past two years.
Under these circums stances the
Silver Party of Ormsby feel justi-
fed in again demanding the sup
port of the voters and taxpayers
of the county at the forth coming
election.
Resolved, That this Idrty un-
qualEfiedly indorses the action Of
Hon. John p. Jones in WI hdrawing
from a party who, white profess
inS to be the friend OF silver inGts
State platforms, has persistontly
caused its Representa-iys in
Congrss to bow to the n dates
of Wall Street.
This Convention denounce5 as
il-timed, Insulting and ineonsist-
ent, the demand for his resic-
nation by the Republican State
entral commit of Nevada,
who by their illogical and imperti-
nent demands for the withdrawal
from the Senate OF the United
States of a maa recognized in
both continents as ore Of the
leading silver eXPonents of the
World, have torn aside the miser-
able mask OF recommendation that
has so long covered the face Of the
party of Nevada.
Resolved. That should n va
cancy occur in the office of the U
;. Senator from this State which
would be necessary to fill at the
next meeting of the Legislature,
that the vote OF the legislative
nominees Of this convention ia
hereby pie 1ged to the Hon. John
p. Jones, to fill the unexpired
term.
That we endorse the able and
efforts of Senator
and Congressman New
ands in behalf Of the white metal
n congress.

A GREAT BUILDING.

A recent writer speaking Of the man
ufactures building at the Worlds Fair.
has said:
1t was indeed an unprecedented prob
lem, to spread a ponderous glass and
iron roof over a thirty-acre field, or an
area two-thirds as large as Boston COM
mon, four times the area OF New Yorks
Madison Square. and seven times as
large as Philadelphia's Independence
square. Consider also, the loftiness OF
that Incompatible nave. the crown OF
whose arch is 211 feet above the ground.
or within nine feet OF the height of
Bunker Hill monument, and almost ex-
actly the height Of Baltimore's prince
ly monument to President washington.
Indeed, there are not many church
spires in America which reach this i'm
nense altitude, and the roof line In
question does not reach It by the uplift
Of lone cross or final. but is continued
in that dizzy height for the astonishing
distance of third Of mile.
The Roman Coliseum seated $1,000
people. when In the full excitement OF
a battle between "star" gladiators; and
the manufactures building could seat
3S0,00O. Yet even Roman architectural
genius shrank from placing a perma-
nent roof over Its great variety show,
and only ventured upon an awning OF
light canvas. The Chicago structure.
however, although erected for very
transient use, received glass and iron
roof of Immense weight and solidity,
which over-arched an area large enough
to hold half a dozen Collseums That
roof was In itself almost a miracle. For
get Statistics and consider facts, and
see. 1t was upheld by twenty-seven
vast iron trusses, or arms, each weigh
Ing more than 100000 tons, and spanning
$50 feet The enormous weight of either
of these would have crushed to powder
any ordinary floor or foundation, so
each was based upon mighty inter-
locked mass of logs and iron, resting
upon thirty-hve deep-driven piles. At
their bases the iron arms were fourteen
feet thick, and where they clasped
hands at the apex they were ten feet
thick.
This was the largest building ever
constructed by human hands. Let this
always be remembered. It is para
mount distinction. The Europeans have
tried for thousands Of years TO con-
struct buildings imposing from their
very mass. but have never even ap-
preached the majestic comprehensive
ness Of this temple of peaceful arts.
