THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing Of the Republi-
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the following platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
llcas 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 oe
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Ilete reconciliation Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage Of
that metal.
| Resolved, That the restoration
OF silver 10 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 politica !
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver Of its money
functions and denied 10 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 ofgold,
reduced the money of ultimate re-
demption or rayment, about ono
half. and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable in
money to moropolize 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-
dition5 which apply to The coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed to
elevatine any person to Office who
is not known to be uneq yocally
in f@Yor Ct orening the MiLts OF
the I 4ited States to the free and
unlimited cainlge Of silver.
In view Of til" unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, this c9ns antion
will make no nominations for Pres.
idential electors and the State Cen
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination cleo
tors
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the Vigofous 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-.
5enting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and labofers and producers of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
# agitation and contention for the
rec and U tmited coinage Of sill
Ter ct the present ratio Of 16 to /,
or their own benefit and for the
)eneft Of the peorle at large
miners, farmers, laborers and me-
hanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
entatives Of the various silver
eagues, Irrespective Of past party
Lffiliations, in convention assembl-
d, 10 set forth the following dec
Of principles:

Inalterably opposed to the Nation
i Republican and Democratic par

onventions as inimical to the ma
erial interests of the people es the
jnited states, and especially to

ees of their convention.
