form and nominees of the state conven-
tion of the Silver party held at Winnie
mucca. and commends its action in re-
fusing to fuse with the Democratic party
in support of Parker and Davis and the
gold standard.
I'VE hereby renew our allegiance to the
free coinage of silver at the ratio OF
16 to 1, and demand that should congress
retire greenback currency amounting TO
1855, ,s24Ols. It shall be replaced with
standard silver dollars.
'Senatorship-We declare that the dom
nation of the Democratic party in Ne
vada by Francis G. Newlands and the
Sharon estate IS such thatit is the duty
of every voter to assert his manhood ana
SO cast his ballot that the downfall OF
that INSCRIPTIONS syndicate shall be
complete. Recognizing the high excel
lence and statesmanlike qualities of
John Sparks, governor of Nevada, we
hereby present legislative ticket pledg-
ed to support Governor John Sparks for
United States Senator in order that the
people of Washoe county may vote for
him and at the same time cast ballo,
irrevocably opposed to the meddlesome
and selfish dictation of the Sharon es-
tate.
General Principles-We are in favor
of organized labor. We believe in the
right and duty of workingmen to unite
to secure their rightful share of pros
perity. We believe in the passage or
laws which will favor the poor man and
the toiler who builds up the material
welfare of the nation, state and county.
We believe in thhe eight-hour law, ana
are in favor of it's general extension TO
industries and enforcement without fear
or favor. We denounce Senator Newlands
sor not devoting any of the millions
which the Sharon estate has taken from
Nevada to the upbuilding of the state and
the creation of enterprises here which
will give employment to labor; and we
declare that his investments In unim-
proved lands. which he bought for specu-
terprise of other citizens has increased
their value to a profitable selling point, Is
of no value, but on the other hand n
detriment to the state"
