The CO. 7cEiian en,..ur3es and

licas State Convention. held At Va
citv on the 30 OF April last, as fol-
lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of Tie Eastern
states and the admin -tration o.
President Harrison, insofar as they
| have failed to ac omplish the COM
Ilete remoDe ia tion of silver, and
to era,t laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage OF
that metal.
Reso we'd, That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t Occupied
previous to the passage o. the
Mint Act of 1873, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations The Legislation
" ich robbed silver Of its money
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which Al ply to the image Of gold,
reduced the money of ultimate re-
demption or ayment, about one
half. and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In
money to monopoIize tho coin Of
the commercial world.
Resolved, Thet the people oi
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 tc
elevating any person 10 Office who
is not known to be uneqnlvocalIy
in favor of opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
In view Of til" unsati factory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remonetl-
zation Of silver, t. is convention
will make no nominations foI Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put 10 nomination cleo
tors
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigo GUS efforts II 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 is ue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers OF
wealth
And we fav r the continuation
Of agitation and cont sion for the
fee and uanmited coiege OF sill
yer at the present laIt 16 to /,

United states. and especially to
those of Nevada and all the othor
mining st ties and territories, aid
we therefore repudiate the nomt-
nees of their convention.

ocally in fnvor of free coinage as
