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 at 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 os
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 1873, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations 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 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 10 Office who
is not lInown to be uneqniyocally
in favor of opening the MiLts Of
the United States to tie free and
coinage Of silver.
in View Of th unsatisfactory at
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the renoneti-
cation Of silver, tlis convention
will make no nominations 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-
5enfing the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
RS aad Iabor6rs and producers OF
wealth
