party of Nevada, hereby reaff1rm the
principles upon which the party was
founded as enunciated in our last
State platform and declare our IN
yielding fidelity TO those principles.
We deplore the untimely death OF
our late President William Mckinley.
and express our horror at the crime
of his assassination
Money Question-Ve unequ!vOcal-
" condemn the Republican party for
its attitude upon the money question.

in circulation, tiie very thing which
the leaders Of the party declared to
be unnecessary
