lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the g ministration OF
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete reconciliation Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for ths
free and unrestricted coinage OF
! that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
OF silver to the place it , 'cApied
| previous 20 the passage OF the
Mint Act OF 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations The legislats ,u
which robbed silver Of its m3ney
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 ofgold.
reduced the money Of Ultimate re-
demptlon 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 o.
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 unequLvocally
in favor Of opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.

titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remonet-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations foI Pres
