THE SILVER PLATFORM.

i The silver wing of the Repl oil
can State Convention unanine is
/ ly adopted the following platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
lieas State Convention, held at Va
city on the 80 Of April last, as fol-
lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican panty Of the Eastern
states and the administration o.
President Harrison. insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
! Ilete RECOMMENDATION OF silver, and
to enaet 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
paramo unit to al other political
consid defations. 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-
demption or payment, about one
half. nd 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 70 Office. who
is not known to be uneqriyocally
in favor Of oqening the MiLts 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, tbis convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the state Gem
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Conven lion shall have no au-
thority to put il nomination elec-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts Of our
Senators and Representatives to
secure the Tree 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 th3 continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and uInmited coinage of sill
yer at the present ratio Of Is to l,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large :
miners, farmers, laboIcrs and me-
chanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
sentatives of the various silver
leagues, irrespective Of past party
affiliations, in convention assembl-
ed, do set forth the following dec
laration Of principles:
FIRST. We demand the full re-
monetizatian Of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio OF Il to |.
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed to the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question of the free
coinage of silver and we denounce
the action Of their recent national
conventions as inimical to the ma
terial interests of the people CT the
United States, and especially to
those of Nevada and all the othor
mining states and territories, and
we therefore repudiate the nomi-
nees of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
OF this convention for Presidential
electors to support no man for
President or Vice-Presiden oi the
United States who is not u eg4.%
ocally in favor OF free coinage -
defined by this convention. Ve
