lows;
! Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party of the Eastern
states and the -miui-tration Of
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete reconciliation of silver, apd
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved. That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t eApied
previous TO the passage OF 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 money
functions and denied 10 the owner
Of silver bullion the right to lave
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 monOpolize tho coin OF
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people o.
Nevada are in favor Of the coin
age of silver Lpor toe same con.
ditions which ,.o!ly 20 the coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed tc
elevating any person to Office who
is not known to be unequivocally
in favor Of opening the MiLts O,
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 Temoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nomination for Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
trail 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
Senators and Representatives f.,
secure the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-
senting the true issue between tho
money powers and the bondhold.
