which robbed silver Of it's money
functions and denied to the ewner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage ofgold,
reduced the money Of ultimate re.
demption or payment, about one
half. and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In
money to monopolize the coin Of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people Of
Nevada are in favor of the coin
age Of silver upon the same con-
ditions which apply to the coinage
OF gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person to Office who
is not known to be unequivocalIy
in favor of opening the MiEts Of
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of the unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres.
ldential electors and the State Cen
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination cleo
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts Of our
Senators and Representatives to
secure the free and unlimited COIN
age Of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-.
'enting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
RS and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
t agitation and contention for the
rec and unlimited coinage Of sill
-er at the present ratio Of 16 to 1,
or their own benefit and for the
eneft of the people at large
ainers, farmers, laborers and me-
hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
Of the various silver
.agues, irrespective of past party
ffiiations, in convention assembl-
4, do set forth the following dec
nation of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
of silver and the free
nd unlimited coinage thereof, at
le present ratio OF 16 to l.
Second. We are radically and
Materially opposed to the Nation
Republican and Democratic par
es on the question of the free
image of silver and we denounce
le action Of their recent national
inventions as inimical to the ma
rial interests Of the people cf the
nited States, and especially to
ose Of Nevada and all the other
ining sites and territories, and
therefore repudiate the nomi-
es Of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees

'ctors> to support no man for
esident or Vice-President Of the
lited States who is not uneqtiv-
ally in favor Of free coinage as
fined by this convention. We
