The Republican party for many We'd with the DEM
ocrac party in the of strong language declaring that
they favored the reconciliation of silver They have
tey violated and disregarded that pledge and have done
all their power enthrone gold King forever. In
spite of this notorious fact the Republican party of Nevada

endangering the financial safety of the country The
platform of the Republican National party fayors moth

thronement the only metal fit for money The Nevada
Republican party knew they adopted their silver
plank They know that their candidate for Congress- if
elected must with the party, he viii be but wall
flower in, Congress- without influence without respect
of his coneres unheard and dsrusted and reved
traitor Knowing all this, why did they insert the
plank? Simply ocach votes But they know that if they

them that the Nevada Republicans may adopt free
silver plank to catch votes WITH Before the adoption of
the silver plank the Republican Convention resolved itself
into Committee of the Whole consider the PLATFORM and
they excluded from the hall those whose support they seek
and they deberated nothing but the silver plank
certain that the plank lie a fraud and does not rep
resent their principles and is put in votes for
other purpose. this conciu ,s correct it is fair
presumption Lat the platform false The rule of
law is that if witness deliberately falsies in material
matter jury liberty to reject his entire test
Ciony The Republicans have deliberately falsided in
most matter and the people should reject their
tire testimony.
Fhe platform is nninteigble ambiguous uncertain and
contradictory in many particulars They favor large
penditures irrigation, and they favor expanding the
money for our expanding trade; they oppose and
favor protection the father and mother of trusts; they
favor the which brought prosperity TO most of the
States the Union and condemn prize fights and lotteries
which would bring prosperity to Nevadathey favor kill
ing soldiers and saving prize fighters.
Ignorance Hatred, Prejudice and Bgotry the su-
pervising spirits that dictated the platform In other
platform since the of the rebellion be founda plank
like their plank the Dsanchsement of American Citi-
wherein they condemn the Acknowledgement of almost
the entire coored in certain States As remedy they
seand that nominee for Congress in the Of his
election shall support such Congressional enactments
will reduce the basis of representation in Congress CT all
such proportional to the number which such dis
fanchsed citizens the age of q bears to the
total number of citizens of that age" Talk about eye
for an eye and tooth for tooth. Where be found
the spirit their stump orators in that plank wherein they
excaim there longer any North, South East West
but united country in the United States and
the and the Gray join in to honor to the
men who fighting for what they conceived to be right?
The platform winds up with 'Nevada for Neyadans As
that fought by every defeated candidate for
the past eight years. particularly and since 1885, it
viii not improve with age.
