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 ut 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. oe
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete 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 county and
paramount to all other pol licaI
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 gold,
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demption 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 ia favor of the coin
age Of silver upon tie same con-
ditions which apply to the coinage
OF gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person to Office who
is not known to be unequiyocally
in favor Of opening the Mirts Of
the United States 10 the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of the unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation OF silver, this convention
will make no neminati0nsf for Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
trail 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 truc 5sue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
IF agitation and contention for the
rec and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the preseLt ratio Of 16 to /,
or their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large =
farmers, laborers and me-
.hanics.
The citizens OF Nevada, repre-
'entatives of the various silver
eagues, irrespective of past party
Affiliations, in convention assembl-
ID, do set forth the following dec
aration of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
nonetizatian Of silver and the free
md unlimited coinage thereof, at
he present ratio OF Is to /.
Second. We are radically and
1nalterably opposed to the Nation
Il Republican and Democratic par
les on the question of the tree
coinage of silver and we denounce
he action Of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
erial interests Of the people CT the
United States, and especially to
hose Of Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, and
We therefore repu date the nomi-
ices Of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
II this convention for Presidential
lectors to support no man for
PRESIDENT or Vice-President Of the
Jnited States who is not unequiv
'cally in favor Of free coinage as
Iefned by this convention. We
eseave to the silver leagues of
Ievada, il Conven ton assent. a,

ential electors fer whom to cast
heir votes, should contingencies
