lows:
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the 2 mInistration o:
President Harrison. insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete RECOMMENDATION 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 II 'eupied
! previous TO the passage ol the
Mint Act OF 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver OF its 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 ofgold.
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demption or payment, about cne-
half. and enabled the owners of
money and OBLIGATIONS payable In
money to monopoIlze tho coin OF
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people oa
Nevada are in favor Of the coin.

ditions which apply to The coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person TO Office who
