Aud who on May 3, 1896, at Nirginia
| City, declared IS follows:
1--WE again reiterate our steadfast devo-
| ton TO the cause Of the free and unlimited
| coinage Of silver, and declare that in our
| iudgmeut the restoration of the true BIZ
| metallic standard Of vAlue ss ID existed

| Of our Government will afford the people
a value Of stable circulating money sufi-

Weindorse the action OF Nevadas repre-
sentatives with respect to the tariff and
financial legislation /; commencing their
patriotic support OF the administration in
time of war, whilst using all efforts 70
| prevent the issuance OF bonds.
We say to the Republican party OF Me-
vada. do not the benefcent results OF the
tariff schedules Of she Dingley bill which
affect Nevada and which Nevada's Silver
representatives secured, namely: wool, cat

Republican representatives have done
more?
We say TO the Democratic party Of Ne.
vada, has not The action Of Nevada's rep.
resentatives on financial legislation been
in keeping with the Democratic platform
of 1896, and in this respect, could Demo-
cratic representatives have done more?
We express our profound appreciation OF
the ~tireiess efforts Of Nevada's grand old
man, William NJ. Stewart. not only as the
leader OF the silver cause in America, but
for his great devotion 10 the local inter-
eats of the State, ss exemplifed by the fact
that he has been the author OF many OF the
important measures effecting Nevada's
interests which have been enacted by Con-
press /; namely, the mining law Of the
United States, the Carson Mint, the Stew
art Institute, the establishment of the ag-
yicultural experiment station, which en-
abIes the State University 10 receive S40,.
600 a year government aid, and the secur-
ing of a military instructor 81 the State
University. We further commend his
efforts now likely soon TO be crowned with
success, 10 secure the payment TO the
State and citizens OF Nevada Of nearly half
a million dollars for moneys expended in
the suppression Of the war Of the rebel
lion and Indian outbreaks. We indorse
his proposal to secure legislation making
Lake Tahoe and vicinity q national park,
the Government purchasing on an equi.
table basis, the rights Of parties whose
interests are affected, as not only preserv-
ing from destruction one OF natures
graudest works, but giving the national
Government control for irrigation pur-
poses OF q great lake reservoir which will
guarantee the farmers along the Truckee
river more water for irrigation and enable
vast additional area of arid lands to be
brough. under cultivation.
We earnestly recommend the election OF
william NJ. Stewart TO the Senate Of the
United States, and pledge the Silver party
Of Nevada and the nominees OF this con-
yention to his support for that Office.
To our other Senator, John P. Jones,
we extend the greetings Of a people who
rejoice that they have such q great public
servant who has honored the common
wealth which has delighted to honor him
His pre-. eminent knowledge Of all fnan-
cial questions has been used by him fol
the benefit of the whole world. and his
speeches in the United States Senate upon
the silver question have become the text
. book of those statesmen who are devoted
to the interests of the whole people.
We take pride in the career Of Francis
G. Newlands in Congress, notably IN the
fact that he has risen In six years to
place among the leaders OF che House, and
that his influence 10 public affairs ID be-
coming more and more manifest, as II
:. shown by his great part In the annexation
of the Hawaiian islands, a contamination
anticipated and desired by the American
people for more than fifty years. We de
clare that Nevada cannot afford to lose
Z. him a. her representative In the halls o.
Congress.
Recognizing the importance Of State de
velopment Upon agricultural lines, We
commend the efforts of our representative
. in Congress 10 secure for the State Of Ne
vada legislation looking to the reclamation
Of arid lands and the storage OF water IL
reservoirs, and urge our Senators and Rep
resentstive in Congress to secure the pas
sage Of the irrigation bills now before
Congress introduced by our representa-
tive. Francis G.. Newlands.
The Uuited States 10 now in the rightfu
control Of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil
ippine islands, and we are in favor of hold
ing the same until the American people
shall have time to consider and make
: such disposition Of the new acquisitions Of
sound policy and the interests OF the whole
country may require.
We favor the construction OF the Mica
rauga canal by the Government Of the
Il United States Of America as q political
and commercial necessity.
At the last session Of Congress Q Law
having been passed providing for the set
Z tlement of the Indebtedness OF the Contra
Pacific Railroad to the Government Of the
United States, the terms Of which requires
the payment of the entire debt, principal
and interest, at the rate of 8 per cent pei
annum. and on failure TO make such set.
element within one year, the mortgage
lien Of the United States TO be at once
foreclosed, and the property sold to the
highest bidder, we favor foreclosure 40.
cording to the terms Of said act in case its
conditions regarding settlement are moi
complied with.
Certain decisions Of the United States
courts having shorn the Interstate Com.
merce Commission of the authority and
powers undoubtedly intended to be con.
ferred upon il when originally enacted.
we favor such amendments 10 the act az
will make II an effective protection to the
people against discriminating tariffs.
