duiremont before the financial system
OF our Government will afford the people
a value Of stable circulating money sufh-
cient to place the business of che country
Oh a permanently prosperous basis"
We indorss the action Of Nevada's repre-
stntatiyes with respect to the taFih and
| financial legislation ; commencing their
patriotic support Of the administration IN
time Of war, whilst using al Efforts 70

We express our profound appreciation OF
the t~iroless efforts Of Nevada's grand old
| man, William 81. Stewart, not only as the
leader Of the silver cause in America, bU,
for mis- great devotion to the local inter
ests Of the State, as exemplihed by the fact
| that he has been the author OF many of the
important measures effecting Nevada's
interests which have been enacted by Con

| United States, the Carson Mint, the Stew

| riculGural experiment station, which en-
| abIes the State University to receive $40,

success, to securo the payment TO the

We take pride in the career OF Eraneii

that his influence In public affairs Is be
coming more and more manifest, as i
shown by his great part in the annexation
of the Hawaiian islands, a contamination
anticipated and desired by the American
people for more than fifty years. We de
clare that Nevada cannot afford to los

Congress.
