lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party of the Eastern
states and the Z s-ministration 0:
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM

to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage OK
, that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place it oraApied
previous TO the passage " the
Mint Act OF 1878, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver Of it's money
functions and denied TO the owner
Of silver bullion the right to nave
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage Of gold.
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
, aemption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable In
money to monopolize tho coin of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people OF
Nevada are 10 favor Of the coine'
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 tho unsatisfactory at.
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
Zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Cen.
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination elec-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-.
dorses the vigorous efforts Of our
