lows:
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the admin i-tration oe
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to &C omplish the COM
Ilete remone ization of silver, and
to enact 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 1873, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other politica l
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver Of its money
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the came coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which q, ply to the image Of gold,
reduced the money of ultimate re-
demption or ayment, about ono
half. and enabled the owners of
money and obligations Payable In
money to monopoilze the coin Of
the commel cial ~orld.
Resolved, That the people Of
Nevada are ia favor of the COIN
age Of silver upon the same con-
ditions which apply to the coinage
OF gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person 10 office who
is not known to be uneqnlvocally
in favor If opening the NiiLts Of
the United States to the Zee and
unlimited coinage of silver.
In view of tn unsati factory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, t is convention

idential electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by

The Convention cordially en-.
dorses the vigo GUS Efforts If our

secure the free and unlimited COIN
