Resolved. That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t o'cupied

Mint Act or 1873, is essential to
the prosperity OF the country and

functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions

reduced the money of ultms to re-
GempttOn or payment, about one

money and obligations payable In
money to mOnopolize tho coin OF
the commercial world.

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 to
eleyating any person to office who
