The citizens of Nevada, repre-

First. We demand the full re-

and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio OF l6 to
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed tc the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question Of the fIee
coinage Of silver and we denounce
the action Of their recent national
conventions as inimical to the ma
terial interests of the people Of the
United States, and especially to
those Of Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, and
we therefore repu3iate the nomi-
nees of their convention.
Third. We rledge the nominees
of this convention for Presidential
electors te support no nan for
President or Vice-PresidenB Of the
United States who is not unGqUig-
ocally in favor Of free coinage as
defined by this convention. We
reseave to the silver leagues of

the right of directing said Prcsi-
Dental electors for whom to cast
their votes, should contingencies
require. GRO. 8 NIXON,
