THE SILVER PLATFORM.

AO c1NCI WIu3 Vi GlO hC pQUlk-
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the following platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
licas State Convention, held at Va
city on the 80 of April last, as fol-
lows;
| Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the administration os
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the com
rlete reconciliation of silver, and
to eoact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage Of
! that metal.
| Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place it occupied
previous to the passage OF the
Mint Act of 1873, 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 ia
money to monopolize the coin Of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people OF
Nevada are in favor Ct, the coin
age Of silver upon the same con-
ditions which apply to .he coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person to Office who
is not known to be unequiTocally
in favor of opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view of tha unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations TOT Pres
idential electors and the state Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have 10 au-
thority TO put ia nomination -elee-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts of our
Senators and Representative to
secure the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers end laborers and producers of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer at the preseht ratio Of Is to l,
For their own benefit and for the
benefit of the people at large
farmers, labolors and me-
,hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
5entatives Of the various silver

of silver and the free
md unlimited coinage thereof, at

conventions as inimical to the ma
erial interests Of the people CT the
United States, and especially to
hose Of Nevada and all the othor
mining states and territories, aid
We therefore repudiate the nomi-
ees of their convention
Third. We pledge the nominees
+ this convention for Presidential
lectors to support no man for

cally in favor Of free coinage gs
