The Silver Party Of Nevada pledges It's un-
wavering devotion 70 the principles Of govern
ment laid down by jefferson and Lincoln;
That the highest duty Of government ts to 90
regulate its laws that the spirit Of equality
shall follow men through life, giving each amp
lest opportunity to work out TO the fullest
measure his possibilities, unrestricted by law,
and unaffected by the conquest OF his domn-
ion Of opportun ty by othar men. We indorse,
as expressing the demands Of the American
people in o0nsonance with the foregoing, the
platform Of the National Silver party formu-

cisl plank OF the National Democratic party
