principle as tenet Of party faith and q test Of
party allegiance; that III will permit Of no
abandonment or modification Of this doctrine;
that let whosoever provo recreant to the prin-
ciple OF bimetallism it will remain steadfast
thereto"
And who on May 0, 1890, at Virginia City, do
clared as follows:
I'VE again reiterate our steadfast devotion
70 the cause OF the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver, and declare that In our Judgment the
restoration of the true bmetallic standard Of
value as it existed previous to 1873, namely, Mt
the ratio Of 10 to J. is an absolute and indispen
sable requirement before the financial system
OF our government will afford the people a
value Of stable circulating money sufficient to
place the business Of the country on perma
nently prosperous basis"
We 1ndorse the acton of Nevada's represen-
tatives 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 benifccnt results Of the tariff sched-
ules Of the Dngley bill which affect Nevada,
and which Nevada's Silver representatives So
cured, namely: WOOL cattle, hides cyanide, and
borax, fall upon you as the rain falls upon the
Just and the unjust? And II 30, in what man.
ner 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 Deen In keeping with
| the Democratic platform Of 1875, and, in this
respect, could Democratic Representatives
have done more?
We express our profound appreciation Of the
tireless efforts Of Nevada's grand old man,
VIM. NJ. Stewart, not only as the leader of the
: silver cause in America, but for his great de-
votion to the local interests Of the State as ex-
! empli1ed 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, the
| Stewart Institute, the establishment Of the
Agricultural Experiment Station, which en-
| ables the State University to receive 81 1000
year Government aid, and the securing Of a
| 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 a million dollars for moneys ex-
| pended in the suppression Of the war Of the
| rebellion and Indian outbreaks. We indorse
| his proposal to secure legislation making Lake
Tahoe and vicinity q national park, the Gov
eminent purchasing on an equitable basis the
rights Of parties whose interests are affected
| as not only preserving from destruction one Of
| Natures grandest works, but giving the Ma
tional Government control for irrigation pur.
poses Of q great lake reservoir, which will
| guarantee the farmers along the TruckeO river
| more water for irrigation and enable . vast
additional area Of arid land to be brought un-
der cultivation.
! VIM. NJ Stewart to the Senate Of the United
| States, and pledge the Silver party Of Nevada
| and the nominees Of this convention to his sup
port for that Office.
| To our other Senator, John p Jones' we az
tend the greeting Of a people who rejoice that
they have such 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 who are devoted to the Inter.
ests Of the whole people.
| We take pride in the career Of Francis q.
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 more and more man.
| ifest, as Is shown by his great part In the an
nexation Of the Hawaiian Islands, corsum
nation anticipated and desired by the Ameri
can people for more than fifty years. We de-
| clare that Nevada cannot afford to lose lim as
| her Representative In the halls OF Congress.
Recognizing the Importance of State, devel
| 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
tative Francis G.. Newlsnds.
