SILVER PLATFORM.

'
Nevada, declares as follows;
Whereas, Mr. Cleveland was
elected III 1884 on the following sill
yer platform: eve believe i'll hon>
est money, the gold and silver coin
ace of the constitution, and a circu-
lating medium convertible into such
money without loss;" and Immediately
after the election recommended the
repeal Of the Bland act and the utter
decentralization of silver, and used
the entire influence Of his admins
tration to reduce the money of the
world to the single gold standard,
and was defeated by the people III
1888; and
Whereas, Mr. Harrison il 1858
was elected on the following plat
form: s'The Republican party is in
favor Of the use of booh gold and sill
yer as money, and condemns the
policy Of the Democratic admins
tration in its efforts to demouetlze
silver, and after his election INSIST
q upon the repeal OF the Bland act
and the substitution therefor Of the
all bratod Window silver bullion
bill, by the terms which bullion was
to be deposited IN the treasury and
certificates issued therefor; redeem
able in bullion, not i'll money, which
would have placed silver upon like
footing with wheat, corn or any other
commodity deposited and warehouse
receipts issued thereon. The COM
promise act Of 1890 was eXtorted
from him to save the tariff, and since
It's passage every beneficial feature
it contained has been thwarted by the
administration Of the government
and the refusal of the treasury de>
partment, by direction of the presi-
dent, t. use silver as money or to
coin silver, as required by the act,
to provide Tor the redemption of the
treasury notes issued III the purchase
of bullion; and
WHEREAS, Mr.. Harrison has repu-
dated the platform of his part5 alade
1t Minneapolis, which was sufficiently
radical for gold to satisfy the gold
press, and now declares IN his letter
Of acceptance that he IS opposed to
independent action on the part of
the United States, but is in favor of
an international conference, provided
the ratio can be 50 changed as to
make the commercial value Of the
silver dollar equal to the commercial
value 81 the gold dollar, which It I'M
possible for tile marked price of sill
yer ever hereafter to advance. He
would take advantage Of tile bear
movement Of the conspiracy between
England and the treasury depart-
M 10 depress the price OF silver,
and be combiGation Of tie nations OF
The world maintain Tor the benefit OF
the owners Of gold such depressed
price and
Whereas. the administration and
the gold men in the Republican party
IN the 31st congress conspired to con
solidate the government by deprivlng
the people Of a free ballot by the
passage of the odious force bill, which
provides for the appointment Of an
unlimited number of supervisors of
election and deputy marshals, to be
paid ont Of the treasury of the
Cnitc3 States from a standing APP
i apriatiou. TIN ould enabled the
executive to have lreds OF thou5
ands q political wo.hers at the polls,
with power of supervision of the re
turns Of elections throughout the
United States and
Whereas, All The silver men IN the
house Of representatives except those
frcnl the mining states, were bitterly
opposed to the force bill and regarded
is as destructive Of free government
and designed to secure negro dolnl>
nation III the south; and
Whereas, The force bill passed the
house of representatives by only SIX
majority, and the foil wing so-called
silver Republicans, nam "; Hosea
Townsend of Colorado; II, F. Bartlne
Nevada; Binger Hermann, Oregon,
and Thos IT. Carter Montaua, had
the power to defeat it b. scverlng
themselves from the gold advocates
and Joining with the friends of silver,
but they refused to do 50, and there
BY created breech between the sil
yer producing states and the great
mass Of silver men in the west and
, south, which he's ever since contrib
uted to prevent the passage Of free
coinage bill il the house; and
Whereas, William NJ Stewart was
the .llst Republican in the senate to
Join hands VITA the silver men in the
Democrats party in tle defeat
Of the force bill lii the senate and by
his efforts, with the AID If a portion
of the silver Republicans, rescued the
country from the calamity which that
revolutionary measure woald have
caused, aud silver Farty was created
in the senate sufficiently strous to
pass through that body i'll the last
and in the present congress a free
coinage bill pure and simple. The
bill v hich passed in the J2d congress
was postponed III the house and is
still pending for action; and
WHEREAS, the Endorsement Of the
Harrison policy Of the federal inter
ference in local elections, as exem-
ph6ed in the force bill, would place
