defeat would give tho lie to our pro-
LESSONS and he the cause Of great re-
joicinR to the enemies Of our State
Nevada should prove true to her
senior Senator and return him to the
Senate Chamber to continue the
fight for silver and humanity.
Hon. Francis G. Newlands has serv-
ed the people faithfully for two terms
az their representative in Congress.
Hs has CALAMITY held up the hands of
our Senators and been with them in
the thickest Of the fight for the white
metal. He has carefully looked after
the interests OF the State beside de-
voting great deal Of time and money
to the cause Of bimetaIlism. He is a
free coinage man because he believes
in tho justice Of the cause.
AS the money question Will be the
greatest question before the next
Congress, Nevada's representative
should be one whose grasp Of lie
subject would enable him to deal
with it in all of its complications.
Such a man is Francis G. Newlands.
His record is clean and the voters of
the State should sec to it that he is
again returned to Congress. The
INDEPENDENT will support him be-
cause it believes in the free coinage
of silver and for the further reason
that his services in that cause entitle
him to the support Of every voter in
the State who advocates free silver.

FOR COMMISSIONERS TERM,
JOHN HIBBETS.
PLATFOR VI.

l. The Democracy of Elko county
in convention assembled hereby re-
news it's fealty to the party organized
by Jefferson and perpetuated by
Jackson and Bryan, and pledges its
unwavering support to the great
principles underlying the Constitu-
ton of the United States.
2. Believing that the free coinage
of silver will bring prosperity to the
people of the United States and
furnish sufficient amount Of honest
money to carry on the business Of the
country and alleviate the want and
misery that followed the demonetiza-
ton in 1878, We hereby declare our
selves in favor of the free and IN
limited coinage Of silver at the
present legal ratio OF 16 to 1, without
waiting for the consent or assistance
of any other nation.
3. We unequivocally endorse the
platform adopted by the National
Democratic convention held in the
City of Chicago in the month of July,
1896, and unreservedly pledge the
support Of the Democracy of Elko
county to the gallant nominees OF
that convention for President and
Vice President William j Bryan of
Nebraska and Arthur Sewall of
Maine.
4. The course :: our Senators and
Representative in Congress on the
silver question meets with our beatty
approval.
5. We are In favor of an honest
and economical administration OF
State and county affairs and insist
that the money collected from tho
people shall be honestly and judici-
ously expended for the purposes for
which it is collected.
6. The nominees Of this conyen-
ton for County Commissioners are
hereby pledged to use the strictest
economy in the expenditure Of money
appropriated for the Improvement of
our county roads to the end that
taxpa, ers Of the county shall get
value received for the money thus
expended.
z. We congratulate the people Of
the State Of Nevada who favor the
free coinage Of silver on the action Of
the National Democratic convention
IN the adoption Of it's platform and
placing thereon candidates Of the
ability, honesty and integrity OF
william j. Bryan and Arthur Sewall
and we invite all voters in this
county who are in harmony with che

JONES AND NEwLANDS.

Tho Importance of the result OF
the Presidential contest to the
people of Nevada cannot be over
estimated. Upon it depends in q
great measure the future prosperity
of the Suite. If the prime pies for
which William j. Bryan stands are
endorsed at the polls on the Sd of
next month, Nevada will enter upon
career OF unexampled prosperity.
The sound of the hammer as it
strikes the steel will be heard in
many of her deserted mining camps
and the clatter and din of of the
now idle quartz mills will make merry
music his they pound and crush the
ore now hidden deep in her mount
aims. The waste places of the State
will till up with prosperous, happy
and contented people. The rancher
in her valleys no longer discouraged
by the lack OF a home market for the
products OF the farm will till the soil
with renewed energy. The peal of
the school and the church bell will be
heard In many places where now
the solitude is only broken by the
yelp OF the coyote. The people will
take on new life and the busy hum of
industry will be heard in the remot-
est corner OF the State. On the other
hand, if the flag Of the gyld trust
waves triumphantly over the nation
the deeper will be the gloom now
resting on our State.
AS important as the general result
will be to the people of Nevada, there
are local matters of vast import to
be decided by them on the Sd of next
month. One of these is the election
OF legislature that will choose sue
cessor to Senator John P. Jones and
another Is the election of member of
Congress to succeed the Hon. Francis
G. Newlands.
Senator Jones by his unwavering
support OF the paramount interests of
Nevada has endeared himself to her
people, irrespective of party, and de-
serves to be returned to the Senate to
succeed himself. If the cause of the
people should meet with defeat in
November, there will be need of true
and staunch defenders OF the white
metal OH the floor Of the Senate.
Brave, earnest men who do not fear
the lash OF ridicule and the sneers and
taunts OF the sleek we'll fed million
aire will be needed to withstand the
further assaults OF organized wealth
on the rights Of the common people.
Such man is John P. Jones, the
senior United States Senator from
Nevada. His great learning on
financial questions and his untirlng
zeal in behalf OF the white metal has
made him leader in the fight for the
restoration Of silver to the place it
occupied as money metal prior to
1873. In him the gold trust find their
greatest opponent. His keen logic
and unarswerable argument have
more than once routed them in dis
cussion. They fear him as they fear
no other man on the floor Of the
Senate His triumphant reelection
would be fitting response Of Nevada
to his efforts in behalf Of silver. His
