CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Result of Its Reno Meeting
On Tuesday

i'iC DchloC op1e al tch1-
mittee met at Reno on Tuesday. The
following resolutions were adopted:
We adhere to the principles enunci-
ated in the Democratic National plat
form OF 1896, and favor their readop-
ton, with the addition of an emphatic
prOnouncement upon the policy of i'm
perlalism, militarism and trusts, in CON
soDance with the principles and 5enti-
ments expressed by the recent Demo
cratic conventions, unsu bsidized press
and other patriotic mediums OF expires
sion of public opinion throughout the
Union.
The Democracy of Nevada is uncom-
promisingly opposed to the policy OF
the present national administration in
regard to the Philippine islands. They
regard it as a qualification Of every
principle upon which our republic was
founded ana the iutiicJion upon other
strugglers for liberty of the wrongs
luton, as set forth and enumerated in
the Declaration of Independence.
This committee regards the silver
question as the paramount issue of the
next national campaign. 1t certainly
is with the people of Nevada and the
Democrats OF the State are contiCent
that the 16 to l resolution will be re-
adopted with little or no opposition in
the text national convention ana that
a Presidential candidate will be nomi-
mated, whose record, utterances and
acts will insure its enforcement both in
letter and spirit. This Committee
furthermore confidently hopes and be-
lieves that such a candidate will be
elected in the person of William Jen-
nings Bryan Of Nebraska.
1t is a ~foregoEe conclusion that the
Democratic National Convention will
furnish the Presidential candidate rep
%resenting the bimetalIic element and
interest Of the country. Under such
condition it naturally follows that the
contest against the geld standard will
be waged under the auspices, name and
banner of that party.
The political conditions at present
existing in this State are such that the
popular sentiment is liable to be over
thrown by division in the ranks of the
silver men, and their adherence to diff
ferent organizations advocating a com
mon cause. The result of the last cleo,
ton clearly demonstrates that no such
division can be safely continued in the
great national contest Of the ensuing
year. Division means danger. if not
absolute disaster, to the most vital in
terest of the State. while union of the
forces insures al easy and triumphant
victory. Realizing the danger, the
committee pledges the Democracy o
the State to every honorable act O.
concession which will tend to consoli
date the entire bi-metallic and anti
Republican forces under the same ban
ner, and their harmonious gathering
in a single State Convention, where al
shall have an equal voice ia the choic,
of delegates to the Democratic Nation
al Convention, the nomination OF cleo
toral and State tickets and all othe
matters pertaining to the conauctin!
and management OF party affairs dur
ing the campaign n.
With this end in view, this commit
tee most cordially invites the Stat

Populist parties to join with it, at tn

named: the delegates to be elected a
