the spontaneous tributes paid by his
political opponents to his great ability,
sterling ch ractsr as man and citt-
zen, and his unimpeachable record as
a leacned and honest jurist, are the
best encomium- of his splendid equip
ments for the United S ates Senate.
Finauce-We favor the largest use Of
silver as a money metal In all mat
ters compatib with the best interests
OF our Government; and we hereby
pledge our nominee for Congress, In
the event OF his election, to exercise his
best endeavors to secure the greatest
possible use OF silver beneficial to the
mining States OF this Union, without
endangering the financial safety OF our
country, and as to the correctness and
justness Of our attitude on the silver
question we point with pride, appreci-
alton and satisfaction to the return Of
many voters of this State to the ranks
of the Republican party.
Trusts-We approve of the earnest
efforts of the present National Admins
tration to enforce to the fullest extent
possible the Sherman Antitrust law,
and we urge the immediate passage by
Congress of such other legislation as
will most effectually restrain all trusts
from the commission of acts detrimen-
tai to trade, comsaerce and the general
welfare.
Rights OF Labor-The Republican
party has ever been the friend OF labor
and its ranks have always been com.
posed chiefly of wage earners. 1t
stands for the principle that American
workmen should produce in America
what the American people consume and
for the protective principle, which has
placed the American workman upon
plane unequaled in any other country.
We favor labor unions in all their law
ful acts aud, procfl ures, as being pow
erful instrumentfsities for the public
good, and we declare ourselves In favor
OF an eight hour working day, on all
public works whets the State, county
or municipality pa.s for the labor, aud
10 all mines and smelters, mills and all
other institutions for the reduction or
refining of ores or metals. and pledge
our nominees to the Legislature to
ciple.
Senatorial Eleetion-We earnestly
advocate the election of United States
Senators by a direct vote of the people
without the intes seation of legislative
bodies.
Expansion-We participate with the
National Republican party in declaring
in favor OF territorial expansion. The
Craftsmanship of the peace today Is
freedom for the oppressed people of all
lands acquired by the victory of our
arms. Those victories mean an expan-
-ion of civilization and a guaranty to
the Inhabitants of our acquired terri
tory of free schools. free churches, open
courts and equal rights to all.
Our Soldiers and Sailors-We hold III
undying honor thu heroism and the
sacrifices of the soldiers and the sailors
of the Republic. We denounce the
Democratic party for the hostile spirit
shown to the soldier boys who are CIV
ing valorous service in the swamps and
jungles OF the Philippines. The Re-
publican party is the firm friend of our
soldiers and sailors, and 1t is ever ready
to defend their honor and to stand
pledged to pensions for all who are dis
abled and to the care of the widows
and orphans OF those who fall fighting
for the Stars and Stripes.
Tariff-The Republicans of Nevada
are uncompromishingly in favor OF the
policy of protection to American indus.
tries and American labor. We point
to the present unparalleled era of pros
perity and confidently appeal to the
people for their judgment 10 support of
the protective principles of tariff legis-
lation. The Republican party pledges
itself to correct any inequalities In the
tariff laws as the same may become
manifest, and provide for such adjust
ments as will destroy all trusts and
monopolies.
Purity OF Elections.-We denounce
the repeal of the purity OF elections
law, aud demand the re.enaetment OF
law which will guarantee an abso-
lutely free and honest popular ballot.
Lotteries. are unalterably op-
posed to any constitutional amendment
authorizing lottery.
State Land Contracts. We declare
our opposition to any legislation intend
ed to decrease the rate of interest upon
State Land contracts, aud We are un-
altera bly, opposed to the leasing of the
public domain.
Mining. We rejoice that the State
of Nevada is entering upon new era OF
prosperity aud develepment and that
the awakening of The mining industry

sources to the attention OF capital. We
favor every form Of LEGISLATION bene.
