Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
President Harrison. insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Ilete reconciliation Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the

Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place it occupied
previous TO the passage Oh the
Mint Act OF 1878, is essential to
the prosperity OF the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver Of it's 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 apply to the coinage Of gold.
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of

ditions which apply to the coinage
of gold, and they are opposed te
elevating any person 10 Office who
is not known to be unequivocally
in favor of opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view of tho unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remoneti-
alton OF silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
tho.ity to put ia nomination eleS-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts of our
Senators and Representatives tS
secure the FREQ 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 bondhoid-
ers and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and unlimited coinage Of sil-
yer at the preseht ratio Of Is to L,
for their own benefit and for the
peue6t Of the people at large
E3iners, farmers. laboIers and me
chanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
sentatives of the various silver
leagues, irrespective Of past party
affiliations, in convention assembl-
ed, do set forth the following dec
laration of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
mon tizatien of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio of l6 to l,
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed tc the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question of the rec
coinage of silver and we denounce
the action of their recent national
conventions as inimical to the ma
terial interests of the people II the
United States. and especially to
those OF Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, and
We therefore repu date the noml-
nees OF their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
OF this convention for Presidential
electors te support no "'a1 for
President or Vice-PresidehJ OF the
United States who is not uneG"lv-
ocally ia favor of free coinage as
defined by this convention. We
reseave to the silver leagues Of
Nevada, il Convention assembled,
the right of directing said Presi-
Dental electors for whom TO cast
their votes, should contingencies
require. GEO. S NIXON.
