lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the ministration Of
President Harrison, incofar as they
have failed to accomplish the com.
rlete reconciliation of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage OK
that metal.
Re~olved, That the restoration
OF silver to the place 1t 'anpied
previous to the passage Oh 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 Of gold.
reduced the money Of ultimate re.
demption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners 0
money and obligations payable In
money to monopolize thu coin OF
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people o
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
elevating any person to office who
is not known to be unequivocally
in favor Of opening the NEiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of the unsatisfactory at.
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti.

will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Gen.
