buttons, beg leave to report as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party of the Eastern
States and the administration of Pres
ident Harrison in 50 far as they have
failed to accomplish the complete re-
monetization of silver, and to enact
laws providing for the free and unre.
stricted coinage OF that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration of
silver TO the place IL occupied previ-
Gus to the passage Of the Mint Act OF
1873 Is essential TO the prosperity of
the country and paramount to all
other political considerations. The
Legislation which robbed silver of its
monetary function and denied to the
owner of silver bullion the right to
have the same coined into money
upon the same terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage OF gold,
reduced the money OF ultimate re-
demption or payment about one
half, and enabled the owners Of mon-
ey and obligations payable in money
to monopolize the coin of the com.
mercial world.
Resolved, That the people of Ne
vada are in favor of The coinage of
silver upon the same conditions
which apply to the coinage of gold,

States to the free and unlimited COIN
age Of silver.

form OF the party 10 favor of the
coinage of silver upon the same
terms and conditions which apply &c
the coinage of gold.
Resolved, That 1t is the sense OF
this convention that delegates shall
oppose the nomination of any person
for the Office of President or Vice
President of the United States who II
