THE SILVER PLATFORM.

Cdu kCldIG CONVENTION UudnlLlO Us
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
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 all other political
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 ceinage Of gold,
reduced the money of ultimate re-
demption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable il
money TO monopoIize 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 10 Office who

In view Of tha unsatisfactory at
titude OF President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres

this Convention shall have no au-

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.
