principle as a tenet OF party faith and test Of
party allegiance; that it win permit Of no
abandonment or modification OF this doctrine;
that let whoOoever prove recreant to the prin-

thereto"
And who on May Q. 1906. At Virginia City, do
clared as follows:
1--WE again reiterate our sten dfast devotion
70 the cause Of the free and unlimited coinage
OF silve and declare that in our Judgment tho
restoration of the true bimetallic standard of
value as it existed previous to 1879. namely at
the ratio OF 6to !, is an absolute and indispen-
sable requirement before the financial system
OF our government will afford the people a
value Of able circulating money sufficient to
place the business OF tho country on o perma-
nently prosperous basis"
We lndorse the acton Of Nevada's represen-
tatives with respect to tariff and financial leg
islation; commencing thei 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 benfcent results Of the tariff sched-
ules Of the Dinghy bill which affect Nevada
and VIII i Nevada's Silver representatives So
cured, namely: wool cattle hides, cyanide, and
! boraI, fall upon you tn rcin falls upon the
| Just and the unjust? And If so, in what man.
, nor could Republican Representatives havo
done more?
We say to the Democratic party of Nevada:
| Has not tho action Of NOWADAYS Representatives
on financial legislation been in keeping with
the Democratic platform of Is 6, and. in this
| resp ct, could Democratic Representatives
have done more?
We express our profound appreciation of the
| t1reless efforts of Neva:a's grand old man,
! VIM. NJ. Stewart, not ouly the leader of tho
, silver cause in America, but for his great DO
vCtion to the local interests Of the State as ex-
! emphEed by the fact that he has been the au-
| thor OF many of the import mt 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 eStlblis Imcnt OF the
Agricultural L pertinent Station, lch on
RLlcs the tate University t. receive 81 90 q

! We further commend his efforts, now likely
| soon to he crowned with success to sAcure tho
| payment to the STATE AMI citizens OF Neyada
| Of nearly h"l. II lion dollars for moneys ex-
| ended in tho suppression OF tic var OF tho

silver question have become the text book of
those statesmen no are devoted to the inter-
! ests Of the whole people.

public affairs Is becoming more and more man.
ifest, as is shown by his great part in tho an.
neyation of the Hawaiian Isla DIS, O corsum,
