our late President William Mckinley,

Of his assassination
Money Cuestion-We unequ:vocel-

its attitude upon tie money question.
The improved business conditions
which have followed the increased
supplies OF gold fully suppc TT the great
bi-metallic con ,enticn that the country

| in circulation. the very thing which
| be unnecessary.
We deny that silver is l dead issue
| The question Of silver col laee is mere
ly a part of the larger question OF
money in general, and lis question is
| led forms and ways.
We believe that the free coinage O.
silver would add largely to the meas
ure of the existing prosperity and es
| pecially here in Nevada. a State 81
| deeply interested in silver mining.
