1-cas State Convention. held vt Va
city on the 80 Of April last, as fol-
lows;
Resolved, That We condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the E ministration OF
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete reconciliation Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for tho
free and unrestricted coinage OK
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t a'aupied
previous to the passage o. 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 fgold.
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable Ia
money to monopollze thu 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
is not known to be unequivocalIy
in favor of opening the MiLts 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 remoneu.
zation of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Gen.
tral Committee to be appointed BY
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination elea-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts of oW
Senators and RepreseH tatives T.,
secure the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-
senting the true issue between the
meney powers and the bondhold,
ers and laborers and producers OF

And we favor thu continuation
of agitation and contention Tor thA
free and unlimited coinage Of s1-
yer az the present ratio Of l6 to /,

left of the people at large -
miners, farmers. labo1ers and me
chanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
sentatives Of the yariou3 silver
leagues, irrespective OF past party
aff1,iations,i n convention assembl.
ed, do set forth the following dec.
laration Of principles:
Fl st. We demand t., } ful' re-
mon tizatian OF silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio OF l6 to l
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed tc the Natio'
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question OF the free
coinage Of silver and We denounce
the action OF their recent national
conventions as inimioal to the ma
teral interests Of the people of the
United States, and especially to
those of Nevada and all the othcr
mining states and territories, and
we therefore repu date the nomI
nees of their convention.
Thirt', We pledge the nominees
OF this convention for Presidential
electors t. 'upport no "'a1 for
President or Viee-Presideb of the
United States who is not nnequiv-
ocally in favor Of free coinage as
defined by this con. ~ntion. We
reseave to the silver leagues OF
Nevada, H. Convention assembled,
the right of directing said Plesl-
den tial electors for whom TO cast
their votes, should contingencies
require, GEO. > NIXON.
