Platform and resolutions of the
Nevada State Republican Conven-
ton:
This Convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub>
lican State Convention, held at Vir-
ginia City on the 30th day Of April
last, as follows:
Resolved, That we condem the
Republican Party of the Eastern
States and the Administration of
President Harrison, in 50 far as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
plete reconciliation of Silver, and to
enact laws providing for the free and
unres tricted coinage of that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration of
silver to the place it occupied previous
70 the passage of the Mint Act of 1878
is essential to the prosperity of the
country and paramount to all other
political considerations The legis-
lation which robbed silver of its
money function and denied to the
owner of silver bullion, the right to
have the same coined into money
upon the same 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 owner Of money and
obligations payable in money to mon
opolize the coin of the commercial
world.
Resolved, That the people of
Nevada are in favor of The coinage Of |
silver upon the same conditions which |
apply to the coinage Of gold, and they
ave opposed to elevating any person
to office who is not known to be I'M
equiyocally il favor Of opening the
Minis cf the United States to the
free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer"
In view of the unsatisfactory atti-
tude Of President Harrison on the
paramount issue of the remonetiza-
ton oksilver, this Convention will
make no nominations for Presiden
tial electors and the State Central
Committee to be appointed by this
Convention shall have no authority
to put in nomination electors.
This Convention cordially endor-
ses the vigorous efforts of our Sen
ators and Representatives to secure
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer, and the educational work that
they have done, in presenting the
true issue between the money powers
and the bond holders and laborers
and producers of wealth.
And we favor the continuation,
agitation and contention for free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at the
present ratio for their own benefit
md for the benefit of the people at
arge, miners, farmers, laborers and
III other persons engaged in products
We enterprises, until the silver mon
~ of the constitution and of the
people is restored to the place it oc
,upied previous to the legislation Of
1873.
The thanks of this convention are
endered to our delegation IN Con-
,ress for securing the endowment of
he State University, reopenlng the
lint, completing the Government
at Carson, establishing the
indian school, in taking measures to
init and improve our Indian reser- a
-ations, in pressing the Rebellion
var claims and the Indian war claims
Ipon the attention of Congress, and I
Irge them to continue their efforts |
ntil Nevada shall have been placed
N an equal footing with the other !
'tates in the recognition and pay
nent of her just demands against the
eneral Government. a
Cheap and rapid railroad trans b
ortation is necessary for the devel. c
pment of the resources of the State. r
lore railroads are required in the t
asst area within the boundaries of
Tevada, and the untouched resour- n
IS Of our great State, furnish the n
,rongest inducements for such en- Il
,rprise. The efforts of our citizens Q
nd others, to secure an Air Line 0
abroad from San Francisco to Salt a
axe City deserves the commenda- c
on and encouragement of the peo- Il
