Democratic
State Platform.

The Democrats of Nevada In Con-
vention assembled declare as fol-
lows:
We endorse every line, word and
syllable Of the platform adopted by
the Democratic National Convention
at Chicago in 1896, with particular
emphasis upon the resolution advo.
eating the free and unlimited coinage
of both gold and silver and without
the aid or consent Of any ration on
the face Of the earth.
We glory in the achievements of
the Army and Navy, in the late war
with Spain and we commend the
Democratic Congressman in their
course upon the prosecution of the
war. as patriotic, statesmanlike and
compatible with the honor and dig
nifty OF our nation.
We agree with Senator Teller, an
ardent Protectionest, that the DINGHY
law was formulated and passed. not
tUr protection OF American labor, nor
for the purpose Of revenue for the
government, but exclusively in the in
terest of the monopolies and trusts,
which furnished the corruption money
to carry ON the Mckinley campaign.
We furthermore declare without
fear Of successful contradiction, that
any or all Of the provisions of the in
famous law do not, directly or indi.
rectly benefit. to the amount of far
thing one hundred actual residents
of Nevada while the entire people of
the State are additionally taxed in
increased prices of the necessaries Of
life to an amount more than sufficient
to defray the entire expenses Of the
State govel nment. And it is with
to the fact that this measure SO dis
tressful to the people Of Nevada was
passed by the aid OF our Senators
without which it could never have
become law.
We demand Home Rule for the
people of Nevada. Our National
Government inaugurated bloody
and expensive war to insure Home
Rule for the Cubons. and yet the
Sovereign State of Nevada has for
years, and still ie, under more abject
servitude to the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company, represented by
non. residents Of th" State than we're
ever the Cubans made subservient to
the Spanish Crown. We insist and de-
mand that our State shall be repre-
sented at Washington by actual resi-
dents OF Nevada, instead OF by men

sole contributions to the people of
the State are limited to the money
corruptly used TO secure their own
elections.
We recognize the Democratic rs
the only Silver party in the Nation,
and upon whose success in 1900 de-
pends the reestabishment of silver
to its former place in the monetary
system Of the Republic. We regard
all local political organizations, pro-
Tossing to favor bimetallie IN. rs not
only useless, but absolutely obstruct-
i've to the cause they pretend to fos-
ter. The so.called Silver party of
Nevada is especially detrimental to
the silver interest. Its State Admin
istratioD III the last few years has
been replete with scandals which are
disgrace to the Commonwealth.
Its continued existence is an insult
to the great Silver party Of the Ma
ton which III 1896 polled nearly six
millions of votes for the bi-metallic
couse, and its death would be mourn
ed only by few Office seekers who
have maintained it in the hope of be-
ing elected to positions which they
could not obtain from any other
party in the State.
We favor the election of United
States Senators by the people in
stead OF Legislatures. We believe
that Nevada has suffered more from
the present system than any other
State in the Union and we most earn
estly demand such change as will, TO
a partial extent at least, prevent the
gross frauds and corruption as has
and which Is now prevailing in our
Senatorial elections.
The, Democratic party of Nevada is
in favor of utilizing and developing
the natural resources Of the State;
We, therefore advocate policy of
internal improvements by which the
surplus water of our rivers may he
impounded in reservoirs and used in
reclaimmg and irrigating the unoc-
cupied agricultural lands of the State
and opening the same to settlement
and cultivation, thereby inducing
Immigration for the development of
the agricultural products OF the State
and increase of our population, and
we favor liberal legislation and the
appropriation o. State funds for such
purposes.
We demand that our National Gov
ernment hold possession of the Phil
ippine Islands. so that the products
and trade Of these islands may be
brought to our shores, as such a pol
icy would result in great profit and
commercial advantages to the Paci-
tic Coast.
We most earnestly advise the Dem
ocrats i'll every county in the State to
organize and form County Central
Committees and to nominate full leg
islative tickets unpledged upon the
matter Of u. S. Senator and to adopt
all means of strengthening the DEM
ooratic party which will in 1900 rep
resent the honest and sincere silver
element in the State.
