Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1892-10-26
THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing OF the Republl-
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the following platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
licas State Convention, held st 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 o9
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the com
llete 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 it occupied
previous to the passage Of the
Mint Act of 1878, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political
consid derations. 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 monopoiize 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 g afice who
is not known to be ulequivocally
in favor If open:ng the Hints or
the United States 10 the free and
unlimited c}inage ofsilya.
n vie@ of tn unsatisfactory at-
titude OF President Harrison to the
paramount issue OF the renoneti-
zation Of silver, tais convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential 2 !eet0rs and the state Cen
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority TO put ia 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 il pre-
senting the true is 3ue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers aud laborers and producers OF
wealth
And we favor the continuation
Of agiF:.ti1n and contention for the
fee ana unlimited coinage Of sill
yer At tie preseLt ratio OF I6 to 1,
for their own benefit and for the
beneit Of the people at large
miners, farmers, laboress and me-
chanics
The citizens Of Eevala, repre-
sentalives of the various silver
leagues, irrespective Of pass party
affiliations, in convention ASSEMBLE
ed, do set forth the following dec
laration Of principles:
Fist We demand the full re-
monetizatian of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio OF l6 to l.
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed to the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question of the tree
coinage Of silver and we denounce
the action Of their recent national
conventions as inimical to the ma
terial interests Of the people ce the
United States, and especially to
those of Nevada and all the other
states and territories, and
we therefore repudiate the nomi-
nees of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
oi this convention for pres.lcutial
electors to support no man for
President or Vice-Presiden, of lie
United States who is not uleniiN-
ocally in favor Of free coinage -
defined by this convention. 4e
