And who on May 3, 1876, at Virgins
City, declared IS follows:
1--WE again reiterate our steadfast devo.
ton TO she cause OF the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver, and declare that in our
judgments the restoration Of the true BIZ
metallic Standard of value as il existed
previous TO 1873. namely lat the ratio Of 16
10 /, lie an absolute and indispensable re-
| quirement before the financial system
OF our Government will afford the people
q value Of stable circulating money sufi-
| cient to place the business of the country
on a permanently prosperous basis"
We indorss the sotion OF Nevsds's repre-.
sentasives with respect to the tariff and
financial legislation (; commencing their
patriotic support OF the administration in
time Of war, whilst using all efforts 10
prevent the issuance OF bonds.
We say to the Republican party OF Ne
vada, do not the beneficent results Of the
tariff schedules Of the Dingley bill which
affect Nevada and which Nevads's Silver
representatives secured, namely: wool, cat
tie. hides, cyanide and borsx. fall upon
you as the rain falls upon the just and the
unjust? And il 30, in what manner could
Republican representatives, have done
moreP
We say to the Democratic party OF Me-
| yads, has not the action of Nevsds's rep.
resentatiyes on financial legislation been
| in keeping with the Democratic platform
of 1896, and in this respect, could Demo
cratic representatives have done more?
We express our profound appreciation Of
the t~ireless efforts OF Nevads's grand old
man, William NJ. Stewart, not only as the
leader of the silver cause in America, but
for his great devotion 20 the local inter-
ests Of the State, as exempli6ed by the fact
that be has been the author OF many OF the
important measures effecting Nevsda's
interests which have been enacted by Con-
gress namely. the mining laws OF the
United States, the Carson Mint, the Stew.
art Institute, the establishment Of the az
ricultursl experiment station, which en-
ables the State University to receive S40,-
900 q year government aid, and the secur-
ing of a military instructor 81 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 expended in
the suppression Of the war OF the rebel
lion and Indian outbreaks. We indorse
| his proposal to secure legislation making
Lake Tahoe and vicinity a national park,
the Government purchasing on an equi
table basis, the rights of parties whose
interests are affected, as not only presery.

grandest works, but giving the national
Government control for irrigation pur.

guarantee the farmers along the Truckee
river more water for irrigation and enable
a vast additional area OF arid lands TO be
brought under cultivation.
We earnestly recommend the election Of
William NJ. Stewart to the Senate Of the
United States. and pledge the Silver party
of Nevada and the nominees OF this con
| yention 10 his support for that Office.
To our other Senator, John p. Jones,
we extend the greetings OF q people who
rejoice that they have such a great public
servant who has honored the common
wealth which has delighted to honor him
His pre-eminent knowledge Of all finan-
cisl 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
nook OF those statesmen who are devoted
10 the interests 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 ak years to a
place among the leaders OF the House, and
that his influence In public affairs is be-
coming more and more manifest, as Ia
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 lose
him as her representative 10 the halls OF
Congress.
Recognizing the importance OF State do
yelopment upon agricultural lines, we
commend the efforts of our representatives
in Congress TO secure for the State OF Ne
yada legislation looking to the reclamation
OF arid lands and the storage of water in
reservoirs, and urge our Senators and Rep
resentstiye in Congress to secure the pas
sage of the irrigation bills o before
Congress introduced by our represents
| tive, Francis G.. Newlands.
The United States is now in the rightful
control OF Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil
ippine islands. and we are in favor Of hold
INK the same until the American people
hall have time to consider and make
suclrdisposition Of the new acquisitions as
sound policy and the interests Of the whole
country may require.

At the last session Of Congress Q law

annum, and on failure 10 make such set
element within one year, the mortgage
lien OF the United States to be at once
foreclosed. and the property sold to the
highest bidder, we favor foreclosure &C
cording to the terms OF said act in case its
conditions regarding settlement are not
complied with.
Certain decisions OF the United States
courts having shorn the Interstate Conn
merce Commission of the authority and
powers undoubtedly intended to be pom
ferred upon il when originally enacted.
we favor such amendments to the act as
will make 1t an effective protection to the
people against discriminating tariffs.
