clared as follows:
1--WE again reiterate our stesdfast devotion
70 the cause Of the free and unlimited coinage
OF silve", and declare that in our Judgment the
restoration of the true bimetallic standard Of
value as 1t existed previous to 1873 namely nt
the ratio Of 6to ], is an absolute and indispen.
sable requirement before the financial system
OF our government will afford the people q
value Of able circulating money sufficient to
place the business OF the country on perma-

ules Of the Dingl-y bill which affect Nevada
and VIII Il Nevadas Silver representatives Sc
cured, namely: wool. cattle hides, cyanide and
bOrax, fall upon you as til. rain falls upon the
just and the unjust? And If 80, in what man.
ncr could Republican Representatives have
done moro?
We say to the Democratic party of Nevada:
Has not the action of Nevada's Representatives
on financial legislation been in keeping with
the Democratic platform Of IS Q, and. in this

have done more?
We express our profound appreciation Of the
tireless efforts of NeyaGas grand old man,
VIM. NJ. Stewart, not only AZ the leader of the

soon to be crowned with success, to secure tho
payment to the State and citizens of Nevada
Of nearly half IN lion dollars for moneys ex-
Tended in tho suppression of the war of the

his proposal to secure legis alton making Lake

Natures grandest works. but giving the Ma

looking to the reclamation Of arid lands and
the st rage Of water in reservoirs and urge

to secure the passage Of the irrigation bills now
