lie silver wing OF IOhe hepuDl-
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 the com
Elete remone. .ization Of silver, and
to e1a1t 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 1878, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other political |
consid ations. 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 seme 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 e
money and obligations payable Ia
money to monopoliZe the coin of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That tie people o.
Nevada are in favor Of the coin
age Of silver upon the same con-
ditions which apply to :he coinage
OF gold, and they ire opposed to
eleyating any petaoa 9 Office who

The Convention cordially en-
