Following is the ADDRESS adopted
by the committee:
We adhere to the principles emu
merated in tie Democratic National
Convention of 1896 and favor their
adoption with the addition of an en-
phatic announcement upon the policy
OF Imperialism, militarism and trusts,
in consonance with the principles and
sentiments expressed by the recent
Democratic conventions, the unsub.
sidized press and other Latriotic me
diums OF expression Of public opinion
throughout the Union.
The Democracy Of Nevada is un-
compromisingly opposed to the pol
icy Of the the present administration
in regard to the Philippine Islands.
They regard it as a qualification Of
every principal upon which our Re-
public was founded and the infliction
upon other strugglers for liberty the
wrongs which inetigated the war Of
the Revolution, as set forth and en-
inundated in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence.
This committee regards the silver
question as the paramount issue Of the
next campaign. 1t certainly ia with
the people of Nevada, and the Demo-
Gratis Of the State are confident that
the 16 to l resolution will be .readopt-
ed with little or no opposition III the
next National Convention and that q
presidential candidate will be nomin-
ated, whose record, utterances and
acts will insure their enforcement
both in letter and spirit. This com.
mittee further hopes and believes
that such a candidate will be selected
in the person of William Jennings
Bryan Of Nebraska.
1t is foregone conclusion that the
Democratic National Convention viii
furnish Presidential candidate rep.
resenting the bimetalic element, sen.
timent and interest of the country.
Under such conditions, it naturally
follows that the contest against the
gold standard will he waPed under
the auspices and banner OF that party
