as we do, we hereby instruct the

to procure the adoption by said Ma

favoriDg and demanding the free and
unlimited coinage of both gold and
silver, at the ratio of 16 to 1,
without waiting the action of or con-
sulting the wishes of any other ma
ton on earth. And be it further
ReSoEUed, That we will not support
any candidate before this conven-
tion, for such delegate or alternate
to said national convention, who is
not known to be unequivocally in
favor of the restoration of silver as
herein defined, and who will not and
does not, first, so announce and de-
clare himself to this convention, nor
will we support or cast our votes in
this convention for any candidate
for the nomination for member OF

not in the presence of the convention
declare himself in full sympathy and
accord with the principles and policy
expressed in these resolutions, and
who will not pledge himself to the
people of the district, when elected,
to exert his best efforts to secure
legislation in harmony with the let
ter and spirit of these declarations.
