Ivention assembled, hold that the money
question is the vital and paramount
issue now before the people of this
country and that it's early and correct
settlement is necessary to the revival
| of business and the return of pros
erity; therefore
""Resolyed, That we are unalterably
opposed to the single gold standard
and demand an immediate return to
the Constitution money of gold and
silver by the restoration by this gov
,ernment, independent of other nations,
of the unrestricted coinage of both
gold and silver into standard money
at the ratio of 16 to /, and upon the
terms of exact equality existing prior
to 1873; such silver coin TO be a full
legal tender equally with gold coin,
for all debts and dues, public or pri-
vate.
Resolved that the delegates-at-
large, this day chosen by this conven-
tion and the delegates to the National
convention from the several Congress
sional districts be and they are hereby
instructed to use all honorable means
to secure the adoption of the princi
pies contained in the foregoing resolu-

port by 16 members of the committee.

feated. Another motion to strike out
