lows;
J Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the Z -milistraCion OF
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete reconciliation OF silver, and
to enact laws providing for tha
free and unrestricted Coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
OF silver to the place it a'GApied
previous TO the passage Oh 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 its meney
| functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion tie 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,
demptiOn or Payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable In
money to m0nopoliZ9 tho coin OF
the commercial world,
Resolved, That the people OF
Nevada are in favol Of the COIN
age Of silver upon tue same con-
ditions which apply to she coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed to
elavatiug &ny person TO olica who
is not known to be uD-. ..svoaally
in favor Of opening til 4iEls Of
the United States to lhe fI5e and
unlimited coinage OF silver.
In view Of tn unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison TO the
paramount issue Of the rem0neti-
zation Of silver, tii8 convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State EN-
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination elec-

The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts # ouI
