| 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 30 Of April last, as fol-
lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the administration os
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete reconciliation 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 1873, 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 come terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage ofgold,
reduced the money of ultimate re-
demption or payment, about one
half. and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable Ia
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 Che coinage
of gold, and they are opposed to
eleyating any person 70 Office who
is not known to be unequiyocalIy
in favor OF opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of tn 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
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put ia nomination cleo

The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts Of our
