lows;
| Resolved, That we condemn the
i Republican party Of the Eastern

have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete reconciliation OF silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place it occupied
previous 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 legislatioR
which robbed silver Of its money
functions and denied TO the owner
Of silver bullion the right i 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 tho 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 opposeI to

zation OF silver, tlis convention

The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts CT cur
Senators and Representatives to
secure the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-
senting the true issue between the
