THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing Of the RepubIi-
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 30 of April last, as fol-
lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of The Eastern
states and the administration oe
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete remonetization of>silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage Of
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t 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 in
money to monopolize the coin Of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people OF
Nevada are IN favor Of the coin
age Of silver upon the same con-
ditions which apply to the coinage
OF gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person 10 Office who

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 Tenoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations 1o1 Pres.
idential electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thofity TO put in nomination cleo
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts of our
Senators and Representatives 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.
