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 Ct the Eastern
states and the administration os
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the com
Elete 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 pla 9 it occupied
previous to the passage Of the
Mint Act of 1878, is essential to
the prosperity of tie 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 ofgold,
reduced the moneyCf 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 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 10 office who
is not known to be unequivocally
in favor Of opening the AiLts OF
the United States 10 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
trail Committee to be appointed bv
this Convention shall have No au-
therity 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 they have done in pre-
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
II agitation and contention for the
rec and unlimited coinage of sill
7er at the preseht ratio of 16 to1,
or their own benefit and for the
'enelit Of the people at large
miners, farmers, laborers and me-
hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
entatlyes Of the various silver
eagues, irrespective OF past party
in convention assembl-
ID. do set forth the following dec
of principles
First. We demand the full re-
OF silver and the free
nd unlimited coinage thereof, at
he present ratio OF l6 to /.
Second. We are radically and
Inalterably opposed to the Nation
i Republican and Democratic par
les on the question Of the free
oinage of silver and we deAounce
he action Of their recent national
Onventions as inimical to the ma
erial interests of the people ef the
IRlted States. and especially to
1oso OF Nevada and all the other
lining states and territories, and
q therefore repudiate the nomi-
ees Of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
this convention for Presidential
ectors to support no ran for
resident or Vice-Prcsident of the
nited States who is not uueqniv-
oally in favor Of free coinage as
afined by this convention. rfe
