"NEsoLvED. rha. tho Republican party Of

principle tenet Of party faith and test of
party allcgiance; that it will permit Of no
abandonment or modification of this doctrine;
that let whosoevcr provo recreant to the prin-
ciple Of bimetallism 1t viii remain steadfast
thereto"
And who on May 0. 1890. at Virginia City, de-
clared as follows:
"Wo again rciterate our steadfast devotion
to the cause of the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver, and declare that in our Judgment the
restoration Of the true bimetallic standard of
salue as 1t existed previous to 1879. namely at
tho ratio OF i6t i, Is an absolute and indspen-
sable requirement before the financial system
OF our government will afford the people a
value of 8 able circulating money sufficient to
place tho business Of the country on a perma-
nently prosperous basis"
Welndorse the acton Of Nevada's represen-
tativcs with respect to tariff and financial leg
islation; commanding their patriotic support
OF the administration in time of war, whilst
using all Efforts to prevent the issuance Of
bonds.
We say to the Republican party of Nevada:
Do not the benificent results of the tariff sched-
ules OF the Dingley bill which affect Nevada
and Will Nevada's Silver representatives Sc
cured, namely: wool, cattle hides, cyanide and
boraH, fall upon You as the rain falls upon the
Just and the unjust? And If so, in what man.
nCr could Republican Representatives have
done moro:
We say to the Democratic party of Nevada:
Has not the action Of Nevada's Representatives
the Democratic platform of Is @, and, in this
resp CT, could Democratic Representatives
have done more?
We express our profound appreciation OF the
tirclcss efforts of Nevaca's grand old man.
