THE SILVER PLATFORM ,

The silver wing Of the Republ1-
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 Ct the Eastern
states and the administration os
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the com
Flete RECOMMENDATION 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 passas ase OF the
Mint Act Of 1873, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other political
consid erations. 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 ceinage of gold,
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demption OR ayment, about one
half. and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable in
money - monopolize the coin of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people o.
Nevada are IN favor of the coin
age CT silver upon the same con-
ditions which apply to the coinage
Ct gold and they are opposed to
elevating any person to Office who
is net known to be uneqnyocalIy
in favor Of opening the 1Iirts OF
the United States to tho free and
unlimited c cinage Of silycf.
In yieN of tlia unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zatioa Of silver, tli8 convention
will make no ncmina ions fo1 Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thoflty to put in 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 in pre-
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers OF
