THE SILVER PLATFORM.

Inc silver wing OF the RepuDll-
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 os
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Ilete 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 1878, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to a.. 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 coinage ofgold,
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demptfon or payment, about one
half. and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable in
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 she eoir lge.
Of gold, and they are opposed to
eleyating any person 10 Office who
is not known to be uneqniyoaalIy
in favor Of orening the DliLts OF
the United States Il the free and
unlimited coinage silver.
In view Of the unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, tkis convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the state Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au.
thority 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 end laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
# agitation and contention for the
free and ull.nIted coinage Of sill
yer at the preseht ratio of Is to l,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large
farmers, labo1crS and me-
.hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
Of the various silver
eagues, irrespective of past party
Affiliations, in convention assembl-
I'd, do set forth the following dec
afation of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
nonetizatian Of silver and the free
md unlimited coinage thereof, at
he present ratio OF l6 to l.
Second. We are radically and
lnalterably opposed to the Nation
! Republican and Democratic par
les on the question Of the tree
oinage Of silver and we denounce
he action of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
erii-I interests of the people cf tho
United states. and especially to
lt',>e of Nevada and all the other
..ilng st It's and territories, ard
4 therefore repudiate the nomi-
t@s Of their convention.
Third. We rledge the nominees

Iec,ors to support no ma1 for
'resitirnt or Ntee-Pcesiden. of the
