at the city of Chicago, are hereby
instructed to use all honorable means
TO secure the adoption of plank in
the national platform declaring expli-
city and unreservedly in favor of the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
l6 to l of gold, and under no circum-
stance to vote for any man for the
nomination to the office OF President
or Vice President of the United States
unless he shall be unqualitiedly in
favor of free coinage and shall stand
upon free coinage platform.
Resolved, That the Democratic
party, adhering to its traditional
monetary policy, demand the eh-
forcement of that provision of the
constitution of the United States,
which declares that Congress shall
"coin money" and CIRCULATE the
value thereof" and pledges itself to
favor the repeal of all laws which
discriminate between the coinage and
use of gold and silver, each to be
legal tender for public dues and all
private and public debts.
Resolved, That we favor "revenue
REFORM" including revision of the
revenue laws, so that taxes will be
reduced, the bui dens of the consumer
lightened, wealth compelled to con-
tribute it's just proportion to the sup
port of the Government, and protec-
ton given to labor, instead of CAPT.
tai employed in American industry.
Resolved, That we favor most un-
equivocally competing railroad line
through the State to Western tide
water, and we demand that our
Senators and Representative in Con-
gress use all honorable means TO fur
ther such an enterprise. We further
more recommend that the Democratic
county conventions pledge their leg
islative nominees to vote for no man
for United States Senator who will
not pledge himself to use his utmost
endeavofs to afford to the people of
this State such relief as can only re-
suit by such competing line.
Resolved, That we favor the cleo
ton of q Democrat to the Senate of
the United States, a man who is an
actual resident and bona fine inhabi-
tant of Nevada, and who is neither
the attorney nor agent of the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company.
Resolved, That in the event of the
Chicago Convention failing to NOM
inato candidates who are unequivo-
cally in favor of free coinage of sill
yer and upon free coinage platform,
the nomi nees of this convention
are hereby absol we'd from all obliga-
ton to support the nominees of the
