State Central COMMITTEE, or which D.
II. Ryan is Chairman, held in this city
on Saturday, August 29th, the follow
ing resolution, introduced by Major
Dennis, was unanimously adopted:
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee congratulates the people Of
Nevada upon the favorable prospect
for the realization OF their most cher
ished but long deferred hope in the
restoration OF silver to its former place
i'll the currency volume OF the Nation.
The adoption of Il free coinage plat
form and the nomination OF sound
silver candidates by the Democratic
National Conventions; the indorse-
ment OF the principles and nominees
by the National Bimetallic Convention
and the favorable action OF the Pop
ulist National Assemblage are most
gratifying and encouraging to the
friends OF the white metal throughout
the Union. The action of these three
National parties prove co%nclusively
that the greatness OF the people have
determined to subordinate all other
issues to the one great and all i'm
portant matter Of re-establishing the
bimetallic monetary system, under
which Jul republic prospered for
nearly 4 century and up to the de-
monctiZation act in 1873.
"The free and unlimited coinage OF
gold and silver at the ratio of &c to L
is the railing cry for all the patriots
in this Presidential campaign of 1896.
Silver Is the shibboleth of the ma
TONS ycomanry and under the same
banner we hope to see the hosts of
bimetallism m~arshalled to urge the
battle for the people, and for the
peoples money at the ballot-box Mt
the November election.
To insure such unity Of action. the
political organization represented
by this committee will make every
concession consistent with the honor
and dignity OF it's membership. and
will cherfully yield everything that
car be yielded without sa%craficing or
endangering the legal existence in the
State OF the great national party
which gave us a sixteen to one plat
form and Bryan and Sewnll to carry
ont the principles.
We regret the division which has
existed in the ranks Of the Nevada
Democracy during the last four years.
Tho difference WAS concerning the
best means to effect a common pur-
pose and we cheerfully accord to IL
brethren who differ from us the
same sincerity and patriotic motives
which actuated us in our political
cause. We therefore extend to them
tho right hand Of fellowship and ask
that all differences be buried and that
we unite with each other us the first
step toward Il complete union OF all
of the friends OF bimetallism i'll the
State.
Owing to the local political condi-
tions at the present time. we deem il
inexpedient and unwise to nominate
any except an Electoral ticket. Tho
placing OF tho latter upon tho official
ballot is necessary to preserve the
lcgal status Of the Democratic party
in Nevada, and We ask for il such
support Of all friends Of the silver
aus ne We will chcerfully give to the
candidates representing the opposi-
| ton to the gold plutocrucy party Of
the nation and State.
