abandonment or modification of this doctrine,
that let whosoever prove recreant to the prin-
thereto"
And who on May o, 1893. at Virginia City, do
clared as follows:
I'VE again reiterate our steadfast devotion
20 the cause OF the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver, and declare that in our Judgment tho
restoration Of the true bimetallic standard OF
value as it existed previous to 1873. namely at
the ratio or III to !, Is an absolute and indispen-
sable requirement before the financial system
OF our government will afford the people O
value of stable circulating money sufficient to
place the business Of tho country on a perma-
nently prosperous basis"
We indorse the acton Of Nevada's represen-
tatives with respect to tariff and financial leo-
lslatlon; commencing 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:
10 not the bcniticent results of the tariff sched-
ules OF the Dinglcy bill which affect Nevada
nnd which Nevada's Silver representatives SO.
cured, namely: wool, cattle. hides cyanide, and
poraN, fall upon you as the rain falls upon tho
Just and the unjust? And If So in what man.
ncr could Republican Representatives have
done more?
We say to the Democratic party of Neyadn:
Has not the action of Nevada IS Representatives
on financial legislation been in keeping with
the Democratic platform of Is @, and in this
respect, could Democratic REPRESENTATIVE
have done more?
We express our profound appreciation of the
tlreless efforts of Nevadas grand old man.
VIM. NJ. Stewart, not only as the leader Of tho
silver cause in America but for his great do
Votlon to the local interests Of the State as ex
emplihed 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 tho
Agricultural Experiment Station, which en-
nbles the State University to receive 81 ,OOJ
year Government aid, and the securing of
military instructor at the State University.
We further commend his efforts now likely
soon to be crowned with success, to secure the
payment to the State and citizens of Nevada
OF nearly half million dollars for moneys ex-
pended In the suppression of tho war of the
rebellion, and Indian outbreaks. We indorse
ms proposal to secure legislation making Lake
Iahoe and vicinity national park, the Gov
eminent purchasing on an equitable basis the
rights or parties whose interests are affected
rs not only preserving from destruction ono of
Natures grandest works, but giving the Ma
tlonal Government control for irrigation DUR
poses OF n great lake reservoir which will
guarantee the farmers along the Truckee river
more water for irrigation, and enal 10 a yast
additional area of arid land to be brought I'M
der cultivation.
We earnestly recommend the reelection of
VIM. NJ. Stewart to the Senate Of the United
and the nominees Of this convention to his SIN.
port for that office.
To our other Senator, John p. Jones, we ex.
tend the greeting of n people who rejoice TINT
they nave such a great public servant who has
honored the commonwealth which has de.
lighted to honor him His pre.eminent knowl-
edge Of all financial questions has been used by
him for 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 u 70 no init,
ests 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 the House, and that his influence In
public affairs is becoming moro and more man
fest, as is shown by his great part in tho an.
nexation OF the Hawaiian Islands, a cors,m. j
nation anticipated and desired by the Ameri-
can people for more than fifty years. We de.
clare that Nevada cannot afford to lose him as
her Repre- sentative in the halls Of Congress
Recognizing the Importance Of State, deyel.
opment upon agricultural lines, we commend
the efforts Of our Representative In Congress
to secure for the State of Nevada legislation
looking to the reclamation Of arid lands, and
the storage OF water In reservoirs and urge
our Senators and Representative in Congress-
TO secure the passage Of the irrigation bills now
before Congress introduced by our Represen. A
tative Francis G.. Newlands.
The United States Is now in the riehtful con-
trol OF Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippine Is /
lands, and we are in favor Of holding the same
until the American people shall have time to
consider and make such disposition Of the new
acquisitions as sound policy and the interests
OF the whole country may require. %,~" 49,.
