ern States on this question. Indiana
shows strong following of sound money
men, and the indications are that Senator
Voorhees,, the champion of free silver, will
have hard time to convince the honest
farmers of his State that so cents can be
made into dollar. The tiasco of the So
called Springfield convention in Illinois
has proved a damper to the hopes and ex-
pectations ofthe silverites."
NEVADA DEMOCRATS IN LINE.
The State Central Committee Pledges
Itself to support Free Coinage.
VIRGINIA, New, June ia meeting
OF the Democratic State Central Commit
tee OF Nevada was held in this city yester-
day. The attendance was good there
being present in person or by proxy fifty
i've members of the committee. The usual
routine business was transacted, after
which the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Resolutions adopted by the Democratic State
Central Committee, held at Virginia City, June
Is, 1895:
WHEREAS, The maintenance of honest money,
namely the metallic currency of gold and silver,
mas always been cardinal principle of the
Democratic party; therefore this committee,
Nevada,
ResolUed, That the characterization of silver
by the Republican party in 1878 has been
justly designated as the greatest crime of the
nineteenth century, and that the wrong should
have remained unrighted for more than two
decades is national shame and disgrace,
which is augmented with every succeeding
year that the infamous enactment is permitted
to remain upon our Federal statutes
RESOLVED, That the Democracy of Nevada notes
with heartfelt qualification the earnest efforts
OF their brethren in other States to make free
and unlimited coinage at the established ratio
the paramount issue of the coming National
campaign. As representatives OF the Demo-
Gratis OF the State. this committee most I'M
qualifedly pledges delegation from Nevada
to the next National Convention which will
insist upon the adoption of u resolution I'M
equivOcally demanding free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of 10 to
l, and the nomination OF cand idates known to
be in sincere sympathy with such principle.
RESOLVED, That the history of the Democratic
party, its record in Congress in all attempts to
restore silver TO its former position in our
National currency, the declarations of most OF
its State conventions and the vigor and deter
mination with which our brethren in all sec
lions are pushing the matter, all proclaim that
it is the party in which rests all OF the hopes of
the bimet of the nation. If proper efforts
sured. and such nominations will unite
the entire bimetallic vote of the
country. With the Endorsement of the promi-
nent party OF the country the principle cannot
fail to win. We therefore most cordially
invite all friends of free and unlimited coin
age in Nevada to cooperate with the Demo-
Gratis of the State in their efforts to secure
National platform and ticket which will be
acceptable to friends of silver reconciliation.
ReSoLUed That while international bimetal-
ism is desirable, it is by no means indispens-
able or even essential to the successful adop-
ton OF free coinage by the United States. We
confident in the ability Of our Government
to conduct its own financial system independ-
ent of other nations, and we believe that the
North American Republic should be leader
instead of follower in the great work of
monetary reform.
ResOLUed, That free coinage platform and
candidates will insure Democratic victory at
the next National election, and their rejection
is equal assurance of defeat and the con-
tinued supremacy of the money-lenders of the
country, who are the only ones benefited by
the present monometalic system.
ReSOIued, That copy of these resolutions be
sent to each member of the National Demo-
ocratic Committee and to the chairman of each
Democratic State Central Committee in the
Uuion. JOSEPH r. RYAN, Chairman.
T. w. CRANE, Secretary.
