THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing of the RepubIi-
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 aeter7
states and the admiLl 4tta
President Harrison, il f .e
have failed to accomplish the com
rlete reconciliation OF silver, and
to enact laws providing for tla
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
nsiderations- 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 of 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 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 to Office who
is not known to be uneqnivocally
in favor of opening the Mirts OF
the United States TO the 2Iee and
coinage of silver.
In view of tho unsatisfactory at
Litude OF President Harrison to The
paramount issue Of the temonetl-
zation OF silver, this convention
will make nominations for Pres
dental electors and the State Cen
-ral Committee to be appointed by
his Convention shall have no au-
5hority to put in nomination cleo
.ors.
The Convention cordially en-
lorses the vigorous efforts Of our
Senators and Representatives to
secure the free and unlimited coin
lge of silver, and the educationf
work that they have done in pre-.
'enting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
rs end laborers and producers of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
t agitation and contention for the
rec and ulDmited coinage Of sill
'er at the preseLt ratio Of Is to l,
or their own benefit and for the
enedt of the peorle at large
miners, farmers, laboIers and me-
hanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
of the various silver
aagues, irrespective of past party
f1iliations, in convention assembl-
d, do set forth the following dec
lration of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
Of silver and the free
nd unlimited coinage thereof, at
he present ratio Of l6 to l.
Second. We are radically and
nalterably opposed to the Nation i.
Republican and Democratic par
es on the question of the tree
oinage of silver and we denounce
ne action Of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
srial interests of the people CT tho
'n1ted States, and especially to
lose of Nevada and all the other
lining states and territories, ard
e therefore repudiate the nomi-
ees of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
this convention for Presidential
ectors to support no MAJ for
resident or Vice-President Of the
nited States who is not uneqHiy
ally in favor Of free coinage az
efined by this convention. We
seave to the silver leagues CT
evada, il Convention assembled,
e right of directing said P,csi-
initial electors for whom to cast
Ieir votes, should contingencies
quire. GEO. S NIXON.
