THE
CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Result Of Its Reno Meeting
on Tuesday

The Democratic State Central Com
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
perialism, militarism and trusts, in con-
sODance with the principles and senti-
mepts expressed by the recent Demo
cratic conventions, bsidized press
and other patriotic mediums of express
sion OF public Opiaion throughout the
Union.
The Democracy Of Nevada is uncom-
promisingly opposed to the policy OF
the present nation Il administrator in
regard TO the Philippine islands. They
regard it as a qualification Of every
principle Upon which Il repu lie was
founded and the infection upon other
strugglers for liberty Of tt wrongs
which lnstigatod the War o. the Revo-
luton, as set rorth 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 confident
that the 16 to | resolution will be re-
adopted with little or no opposition in
the neX national convention and that
a Presidential candidate will be nOmi-
mated, whose record, utterances and
acts will insure It's enforcement both in
letter and spirit. This Committee
furthermore confidently hopes and be-
lieyes that such a candidate will be
elected in the persoB of William Jen-
nings Bryan of Nebraska.
1t is 4 foregOne conclusion that the
Democratic National Convention will
furnish the Presidential candidate rep
~resenting the bimetallic element and
interest of the country. Under such
condition it naturally follows that the
contest against the gold standard will
be waged under the auspices, name and
banner OF that party.
The political conditions at present
existing in this State are such hat the
popular sentiment is liza bic 10 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 an easy and triumphant
victory. Realizing tho danger, the
committee pledges the Democracy 0

BY the proposition of this metho

mony, this committee believes hat
