to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage q
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t occupied
previous 10 the passage ol tho
Mint Act or 1878, is essential to
the prosperity OF the country and
paramount 20 all other political
consid iderations. The Legislation
which robbed silver of its monsy
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.

OF gold, and they are opposed te
elevating any person to Office whs
is not known to be unequIvocally
in fayer of opening the MiLts Of
the United States TO the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
In vie" of tho unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to tbs

zation OF silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres

this Convention shall have No an
therity to put in nomination slec-
tors.
The Convention cordially a.
dorses the vigoi GUS efforts of enr
Senators and Representatives -
secure the freq and unlimited sstn.
age of silver, and the educatiena
work that they have done in pEo-
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondheld-
ers and laborers s1d producers si
wealth.
And we favor the continratien
of agitation and contention for tha
free and unlimited coinage Of Sd
yer at the present ratie of 16 to I,
for their own benefit and for tAs
bC2eft of the people at large -

chanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
sentatives of the various silver

affiliations, in convention assemhi-
ed, do set forth the following dec
laration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
moRetizatian of silver and the frea
and unlimited coinage thereof, az
tie present ratio of 16 to
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed to the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties On the question OF the freo
coinage of silver and we denounce
the action Of their recent national
conventions as inimical to the ma
terial interests of the people nf the
United States. and especially to
those of Nevada and all the othor
mining states and territories, and
we therefore repuiiate the nomi-
nees of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
OF this convention for Presidential
electors t. support no -'a1 for
President or Vice-PreSidelrl of the
United States who is not unec ,llv-
ocally in favor of free coinage as

Dental electors for whom TO cast
their Votes, should contingencies
