lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party of the Eastern
states and the administration os
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Ilete RECOMMENDATION Of silver, ana
to enaat 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 1878, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political |
consid The legislation
which robbed silver of it's money
functions and denied TO the owner
Of silvel bullion the right to have
the same coined into money upon
the come 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
money and obligations payable Ia
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
eleyating any person to Office who
is not known to be uneqniyocalIy
in favor Of opening the DliLts Of
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of sil,tr.
IN view of tho unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no ncminationsf for Pres
idential electors aud the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thoIity 70 put in nomination cleo

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-
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor tie continuation
of agitation and contention for the
free and L Ilited coinage Of sill
yer ct the present ratio of 16 to 1,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large :
miners, farmers, L.boIers and me-
chanics.

sentatjyes Of the various silver

cd, do set forth the following dec

those Of Nevada and all the other
states and territories, aid

Dees Of their convention.
