The SILVER PLATFORM.


can State invention 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 CT the Eastern
states and the administration oe
President. Harrison. insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete reconciliation of silver, and
to epavt laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage OF
that metal. eHr
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 ell other political
consid eiations. 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
eleyetting any person TO office who
is not known to be uneqni .-ocally
in favor Of opening tie Mirts OF
the United States to The free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of III unsatisfactory at
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount Issue. Of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, ttis convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the state Cen
trail Committee to he appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority 70 put Il domination elee-
tors
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efro4ts 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 and laborers and producers OF
wealth
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and L 5nited coinage of sill
yer at the preseAt ratio of 16 to 1,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large
miners, farmers, laholcrs and me-
chanios.
Tie citizens Of Nevada, repre-
sentatives Of tie various silver
leagues, irrespective Of past party
affiliations, in convention ASSEMBLE
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
tie present ratio OF Is to l.
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed to the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question Of the Tree
coinage of silver and we denounce
the action Of their recent national
conventions IS inimical to the ma
teriaI Interests Of the people cf the
United States, and especially to
those Of Nevada and all the other
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-President Of the
United States who is not uneqliv-
ocally in favor Of free cottage as
defined by this convention. We
reseave to the silver leagues Of
Nevada II convention as embed,
the right Of directing said Pscsi-
