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

to enact laws providing for tho

that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place It :. ,eLpied
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 it's 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 rayment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In

the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people OF

Of gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person TO Office who

In view of tho unsatisfactory at.
