party of Nevada, hereby reaffirm the
principles upon which the party was
founded as enunciated in our last
State platform and declare our I'M
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-We unequ;vocal-

it's attitude upon the money question.

ey volume.

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

The question Of silver coinage is mere
ly a part of the larger question Of
money in general. and this question is
ever with us, presenting itself in var
| led forms and ways.
