states and the administration o:
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete reconciliation Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage OK

Resolved, That the restoration
OF silver to the place 1t 2'"npied
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 it's money

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 of
money and obligations payable In
money to monopolize the coin of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people Of
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

the United States to the free and

paramount issue of the remoneti-
zation of silver, this convention
will make no nominations 70, Pres
