senator Stewart spoke as follows:
STEWARDS PEECH
In 1892 the people of Nevada became
satisfied that bothsthe old parties were in
favor of the maintenance of the SINGLE
gold standard and that their professions
to the contrary were false. In the early
ummeT of that year a convention Of
citizens irrespective of party met at Reno
ana formed the Silver Party. Mr.. Cas-
sldy was one of the leading spirits in that
convention and made a most powerful
and thrilling speech which cost him his
life. He died in a few hours after that
great effort. Afterwards primaries were
held and a nominating convention was
assembled at Winnemucca which Dut
fortha strong platform in which the &C
ton of the two old parties on the money
question was reviewed and condemned
James Il. Weaver was the only presiden
tlal candidate committed to the cause of
silver. He was indOrsed by the Silver
party for that reason, and that reason q,

elections were then pending. Nv col

overwhelming majority and the presi-

every county. The Legislature was IMAM
lmOus for silver and reelected me to the
Senate without opposition. The indie
pendent silver party OF Nevada became a
power in the land. The example of max
ing silver the paramount issue had an
important influence throughout the
whole country. The struggle in the two
old parties to retain the silver vote be-
came active in every state. The Demo-
cratic party succeeded in the West and
South in sending silver delegates to the
Chicago convention and controlled that
convention by a two-thirds vote. The
gold men of the east slought off and
either voted for Mckinley or for Palmer
n Buckner. The true men of the West
and South stood firm and issued a plat
form making silver the paramount issue.

bryan seems almost p~rOvidential. He
was and IS the man for the occasion. |
The true silver men of the Populist and
OF the Republican party joined the silver
men IN the Democratic party and swelled
the vote of VIM. J. Bryan to $4,000 300
which far surpassed the vote ever given
to any presidential candidate previous to
that time. Ia every state west of the
Alleghenies and south of the Potomac in |
which there has been a convention held
since 1896, of either Democratic. Silver
republican or POpulist, an unqualified
declaration has been made in favor of the
principles of the Chicago platform. In
nearly all OF these states complete fusion
of the Silver forces has been ACCOMPLISH
ed to cooperate together for the restora-
ton II silver. such general activity
never before existed, and the prosper of
victory never before seemed so certain az
at present. The issue is now clearly
made and cannot be changed in 1900.

parties were insincere and that res ner
