are standing on:
PLATFORM AND E~OLU TIONs.

The representatives of the Republican party of
the State Of Nevada, in convention assembled,
enter upon the campaign of 1894 with no aim save
the good OF the State and Nation, devoted TO the
best interests Of ALL firm in the conviction OF the
justice of their cause, and supremely cohndeht
that while the minds of men may, at times De
blinded by passions and the teachings OF false
prophets they cannot remain permanently cloud
cd, and that the right will ultimately prevail.
flRsT-The 'silver question" Is by far the most
important issue before the people of this country
to-day. We believe that the destruction OF the
true standard Of value by the decentralization OF
| silver in 1873 was grave wrong to every silver
| mining state and Territory in the Union that IL
increased the burden of all debts AMI enriched the
creditor classes at the expense OF everybody eise
that 1t paray Zed the productive energies OF .he
entire country depressed business of every klhu
except that Of money lending. and that there can
be no permanent rrturn OF prosperity 10 our
country until silver shall have been restored 10 lts
| full use aud highest position as q money metal;
and as tho only perfect mode OF SO restoring IL we
demand the free and unlimited coinage OF oocn
uod and silver at the ratio of 16 ounces OF silver 10
| / ounce of gold, with full legal tender functions
accorded to each and no discrimination against
either This action we demand by the ohiteu
states acting independently and wholly regardless
OF what any other nation may may not do. We
| hereby rledge our candidate for Congress and re-
quest our United States Senators to make tne
questi II OF silver paramount to every other' 10
treat it az strictly NJ bipartisan which 1t Isl to
hold themselves free from all party dictation con-
cernng it, and to use all honorable means 10
SFcoNp-we believe that under any monetary
system that can be adopted the protection OF the
American producer against the blighting ana ue-
structiye conpetion of cheap labor abroad is also
matter of vsst importance to the great body OF the
American people Upon this question we are In
rty accord with the principles o. ,he M oni
grower the silver-lead miner, the sulphur miner,
the boraY maker and all other producers are eh'l-
tied to live as BELTS American freeman, without
ta;p hrnu nypu n
conditions of the poorest paid labor In the W. tiu.
THIRD-We arraign Senator ,tewart for his ia'l =
ure to vote On the motion to strike OUT the oln
ential duty on refined sugar, thus not only showing
his disposition to favor the gigantic sugar truht
but failing TO kill at blow the obnoxious Wilson
bill, which is now threatening the very ehis'ina o
some of the most important industries in the State
OF Nevada including that Of wool production
which even now furnishes Subsistence to lare'
number Of our people. 49,.

men clamor ,ng for work, the employer Is gwen al

This condition exists generally throuehont VI
United States at the present time, and Is lsrgei
