lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the G-mini5tration OF
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM

to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage OK

Resolved. That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t 2'enpied
previous TO the passage o. 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 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 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 in favor of the coin

ditions which apply to the coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person to Office VINO
