ELKo, New, May "a, 1S9(

ELKo, New, May "a, 1890.
Pursuant to announcement meet
ing of citizens of Elko was held at
the Courthouse at o'clock L. NJ.
Upon motion G.. w. Grover was
chosen Chairman and j. A. Plummor
Secretary Of tho meeting.
Upon motion the chair appointed
j. S. Mayhugh, j. w. Dorsey aud
A. w. liesson Il committee to draft
resolutions voIcing the sentiments Of
the convention.
The committee on resolutions made
the following report which was unani-
nously adopted.
RESOLVED BY the citizen3 Of Elko
county, without distinction Of party,
in mass meeting assembled:
That We denounce in unmeasured
terms the persistent and shameful
neglect Of Secretary Window in not
causing the increase Of the coinage Of
tho time honored silver dollar of our
1lthers to tho maximum amount Of
S4,0OO,0O0 per month, as authorized by
law, and that his hostile attitude to-
wards silver, and his repeated at
tempts during the present session of
Congress to influence congressional
legislation to continue the demoneti-
zation and degradation Of silver, is
hot only Il hlyrant violation of his
party platform, but also n high
handed outrage upon the producing
and industrial classes of the people
of the Western half of the Union.
REsoLvED-That we unequivocally
favor, and demand free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver, and
hold that to abandon or modify this
doctrine would be a shameful sur
render Of our rights to the moneyed
monopolists and spectators of Wall
street.
That we will remain steadfast in
our determination for the uncondi-
tional repeal of the iniquitious law of
1873 and the establishment of free
and unlimte coinage Of both gold
and silver in lieu thereof.
That in tho future we pledge our
honor that we will not under any cir
cumstanccs support any person for
office, from President to Constable,
who is not a qualified and pro-
nonnced supporter Of free and I'M
limited coinage of both yellow and
white metal. Any other attitude by
the people of the silver producing
States upon the vital question would
be, in our opinion, n cowardly aban-
donment of their rights.
