1 of Nevada, in convention duly
assembled, as their first dellber-
ate act now record their deep
affection for the illustrious memory OF
that wise statesman, Christian gen
tleman and conspicuous example OF
pure life, William Mckinley, late
president of the United States.
PARTY ACHIEVEMENTS,
We appeal to the industrial history
of the United States and to present
conditions which are in plain view of
every citizen that neither President
Mckinley, mort he Republican party,
was or is the tool OF trusts or the
creature of influences inimicaI to the
common good Of our country or to
the welfare of its people. The resto-
ration of Republican supremacy was
the signal of renewed industrial &C
tivity and the general employment OF
American workingmen, trade set out
upon new crusade, not only TO con
ouer the world but to exchange with
il upon terms advantageous to all.
From the position of u debtor nation
we have become the chief creditor
nation of the earth While these sur
passing economic conditions were be-
ing wrought great ana successful
war mas been undertaken in behalf OF
humanity and has been conducted to
"a most glorious result. Without the
slightest jar the executive control of
the government passed to the hands
of Theodore Roosevelt. The policies
so splendidly begun by President Me
KinIey have been continued 10y him.
The history Of the present admins
tration we submit is one to challenge
the admiration of all Americans.
Its first year has witnessed the con-
summation of five great national
laws: The inter-oceanic canal, the
establishment of our tutelage of a
Cuban republic, the organization of a
civil government in the Philippine
Islands, the re-enactmrnt of the Chi
nese exclusion law, and the law for
the irrigation of the arid west. In
all these measures we candidly sub
NIT that the President has been the
guiding force and the most powerful
factor.
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
We declare that the highest inter
ests of Nevada will be best subserved
by the election of bona tide citizen,
who by actual residence and personal
contact with the people at large
is acquainted with the detailed
wants OF the general public,
and as such citizen we submit Judge
Thomas P. Hawley. His personal
biography Eliminates the proudest
pages of our commemorative his
tory, and the spontaneous tributes
paid by his political opponents to his
great ability, sterling character as IA
man and citizen, and his unimp peach
able record as IA learned and honest
jurist are the best enconiums of his
splendid equipments for the United
States Senate.
FINANCE.
We favor the largest use of silver
as money metal in all matters COM
patible 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 great
est possible use of silver beneficial to
the mining States of tins Union with
out endangering the financial safety
OF our country, and as demonstra-
ton of the correctness and business
of our attitude on the silver ques ton
we point with pride, appreciation
and satisfaction to the return of 50
many voters of this State to the
ranks of the Republican party.
TRUSTS. ..... .-....
We approve the earnest efforts OF
the present national administration
to enforce to the fullest extent posi-
bic the Sherman antitrust law, and
we urge the immediate passage by d
Congress of such other legislation as
will most effectually restrain al
trusts from the commission of acts
detrimental to trade, commerce anC
the general welfare.
RIGHTS OF LABOR.
The Republican party has ever
been the friend of labor and its rank,
have always been composed chiefly o
wage earners. 1t stands for The
principle that American workmer
should produce in America what tn,
American people consume and for th'
protective principle which has place.
the American workmen upon plant
unequalled in any other country. w
favor labor unions, in all their Lawful
acts and proceedings, as being pow
erful instrumentalities for the publi
good, and we declare ourselves il
favor of an eight-hour wOrkday, OF
