THE SILVER PLATFORM.

- 'AA-So - I'%S OO1I-
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
Hlete reconciliation 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 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 it's 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 commelc cial 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 to Office who
is not known to be unequivocalIy
in favor Of opening the IdiLts OF
the United States to the free and
coinage Of silver.
In view OF thu unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remoneti-
zatlon Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres.
dental electors and the State Cen
raj Committee to be appointed by
his Convention shall have no au-
5hoflty to put in nomination cleo
.ors.
The Convention cordially en-
1orseS the vigorous efforts Of orr
senators and Representatives to
secure the free and unlimited coin
lge of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-.
'en ing the true issue between the
honey powers and the bondhold-
rs and laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
t agitation and contention for the
rec and unimited coinage Of sill
er at the present ratio Of 16 to1
or their own benefit and for the
enedt OF the people at large
1lners, farmers, laborers and me-
hanics.
L lle cItlzenS OF Nevada, repre-
of the various silver
'ag $, irrespective of past party
in convention assembi-
4, do set forth the following dec
ration of principles:
First. VS. demand the full re-
Of silver and the free
1d unlimited coinage thereof, at
le present ratio of l6 to l.
Second. We are radically and
Materially opposed to the Nation
Republican and Democratic par
es on the question Of the Tree
image of silver and we denounce
le action of their recent national
as inimioal to the ma
rial interests of the people cf tho
n1ted States, and especially to
ose OF Nevada and all the other
lining states and territories, aud
therefore repudiate the nomi-
es of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
this convention Tor Presidential
scfors to support no man for
esident or Vice President of the
lited States who is not uncquiv
ally in favor Of free coinage as
fined by this convention. We
'eave to the silver leagues of
'vada, iE Convention assembled,
, right of directing said Ptcs.
ntial electors for whom to cast
cir votes, should coniirrencies
luire. GEO. S NIXON.
