And who on May 0. 1895, at Virginia City, de-
clared as follows: .. -,
I'VE again reiterate our steadfast devotion

OF silver, and declare that In our Judgment the
restoration OF the true bimetallic standard of
value as it existed previous to 1873, namely at
the ratio Of 10 to ], is an absolute and indispen
sable requirement before the financial system
OF our government will afford the people .

We lndorse the act'o on Of Nevada's represen-
tatives with respect to tariff and financial leg
tslation; commencing thei" patriotic support
OF the administration in time Of war; whilst
using AL efforts to prevent the issuance Of
bonds.
We say to the Republican party Of Nevada:
Do not the benifcent results Of the tariff sched-
ules Of the Dngley bill which affect Nevada,
and viii 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 If 80, in what man
ncr could Republican Representatives have
done more?
We say to the Democratic party of Nevada:
Has not tho action of Nevada ReDresen tatiyes
on financial legislation been in keeping with
the Democratic platform Of Is Q, and, in this
resp ct, could Democratic Representatives
have done more?
We express our profound appreciation of the
tireless efforts of Nevada's grand old man.

We ta*e pride in the career Of Francis g.

| 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 him as
her Repr sentative in the halls Of Congress.
