And who on May 0, 800. at Virginia City, de-
clared as follows:
I'VE again reiterate opr steadfast devotion
to the cause Of the free and unlimited coinage
OF slve". and declarS that In our Judgment the
les Grafton Of the true bimetallic standard of
value as 1t existed previous to 1873. namely. at
the ratio Of 10 to !, is absolute and indispen-
sable requirement before the financial system
OF our government will afford the people a
valuo of s. able circulating money sufficient to
place the business OF tho country on q perIna-
neatly prosperous basis"
We indorse the acton Of Nevada's reprcsen-
tativcs with respect to tariff and financial log
islation; commencing their patriotic support
OF tho 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-
uIes OF the Dingley bill, which affect Nevada,
and VIII 4 Nevada's Silver representatives So
cured, namely: wool-cattle hides, cyanide, and
borav, tall upon you as the rain falls upon the
just and the unjust? And If So in what man.
ncr could Republican Representatives have
done more?
We say to the Democratic party of Nevada:
Has not the action of Nevada's Representatives
on financial legislation been in keeping with
u,
respect could Democratic Representatives
have done more?
We express our profound appreciation Of the
tireless efforts of Nevaca's grand old man
VIM. III. Stewart, not only as tho leader of the
silver cause in America, but for his great do
vCtion to the local interests OF the State as ex-
emplifed by the fact that he has been the au-
thor of many of the important measures
affecting Nevada's interests which have been
enacted by Congress-: namely the mining laws
of the United States, the Carson Mint tho
Stewart Institute, the establishment Of the
Agricultural Experiment Station. " hich en-
nElcs the State University to receive 81 ,O0I q
year Government aid. and tn securing OF q
military instructor at the State University.
We further commend his efforts, row likely
soon to be crowned with success to secure tho
payment to the State and citizens of Nevada
Of nearly half n IN lion dollars for moneys ex-
ended in the suppression of tho war of the
rebellion, and 11dian outbreaks. We indorse
his proposal to secure legislation making Lake
Tahoe and vicinity national park, the Gov
ernment purchasing on an equitable basis the
rights of parties whose interests are affected
rs not only preserving from destruction one of
Natures grandest works, but giving the Ma
tlonal Government control for irrigation pur-
poses of n great lake reservoir which will
guarantee thu farmers along tho Truclkee river
more water for irrigation and ena le a vast
additional area of arid land to be brought IN
der cultivation. -.
We earnestly recommend the reelection of
States, and pledge the Silver party Of Nevada
and the nominees OF this convention 70 his Sup.
port for that Office. no
To our other Senator, John P. Jones, we cx-
tond the greeting Of people who rejoico that
they have such great public servant who has

lighted to honor him His prominent knowl-

him for the benefit of the whole world. and his
speeches in the United States Senate upon tho
OnoStiOn have hncOTna Ia hoo of
those statesmen " no are devoted to tho inter-
cStS OF tho whole people.
We take pride in the career Of Francis g.
Newlands in Congress, notably in the fact that
he has risen i'll six years to q place among the
leaders Of the House, and that his influence in
public affairs is becoming more and moro man
ifest, as is shown by his great part in tho IN.
