THE SILVER PLATFORM .

can State convention unanimous
ly adopted the following platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
licas State Convention, held ut 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 o.
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete 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 to Office who
is not known to be uneqnivocalIy
in favor Of opening the AIiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of Tho unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed bv
this Convention shall have no au.
thority to put in nomination cleo
tors.
The Convention cordially en-.
dorses the vigorous efforts Of our
Senators and Representatives 10
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
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
tres and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the preseAt ratio Of 16 to 1,
'or their own benefit and for tho
benefit of the people at large
farmers, laborers and me-
,hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
'entatives Of the various silver
irrespective Of past party
affiliations, in convention assembl-
ID, do set forth the following dec
aration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
nonetizatian Of silver and the free
md unlimited coinage thereof, at
he present ratio of I6 to /.
Second. We are radically and
materially opposed to the Nation
II Republican and Democratic par
les on the question of the free
:oinage of silver and we denounce
he action Of their recent national
conventions as inimical to the ma
erial interests Of the people cf tho
United States, and especially to
hose OF Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, and
Ve therefore repudiate the nomi-
ices of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
+ this convention for Presidential
lectors to support no ma1 for
resident or Yiee-Prcsident Of the
JHited States who is not unequiv-
cally in favor Of free coinage as
efined by this convention. We
eseave to the silver leagues Of
,evada, il Convention assembled,
be right Of directing said Plesi-
entail electors fer whom to cast
heir votes, should contingencies
equire. GEO. S NIXON.
