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-
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 o.
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish tho com
Elete remonetization Of silver, and
to eGaet 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 1878, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other political
consid efations. 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 o.
Nevada are in favor Of the coin
age Of silver upon the same con-
ditinn5 which apply to the coinage
of god, and they are opposed to
elevating any person 10 Office who
is lot known to be unequiyocally
in favor Of opening the MiEts OF
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 relnoneti-
zation Of silver, tais convention
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 vigorous efforts Of our
Senator's and Representatives to
secure the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, and the educational
work that tl7c, have done in pre-
3entiDg the Tie issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers end laborers and producers of
wealth
And we favor the continuation
# agitation and contention for the
rec and uAnmited coinage OF sill
7er at the preseLt ratio Of Is to /,
or their own benefit and for the
'enedt Of the people at large
farmers, labolcrs and me-
hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
entatives Of tho various silver
eagues, irrespective Of past party
ffiliations, in convention assembl-
q. do set forth the following dec
aration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
of silver and the free
nd unlimited c5.nage thereof, at
he present ratio OF Is to /.
Second. We are radically and
materially opposed to the Nation
/ Republican and Democratic par
les on the question Of the free
oinage of silver and we denounce
he action Of their recent national
onventions as inimical to the ma
arial interests of the people OF the
Jn1ted States, and especially to
nose of Nevada and all the othor
inning states and territories, and
e therefore repudiate the nomi-
ees of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
t this convention for Presidential
lectors to support no MAJ for
resident or Vice-Presiden OF the
'nited States who is not uneq air.
cally in favor Of free coinage as
etined by this convention. We
