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
rlete 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
consid derations- 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 ono
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 known t. he uneqnivocally
in favor Of opening the MiEts OF
the I nIted states to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of the unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
issue of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, tAis convention
Will make no nominations for Pres
dental electors and the State Cen.
raj Committee to be appointed by
his Convention shall have no au-
,horlty to put in nomination elee-
.ors.
The Convention cordially en-
1orses the vigorous efforts of our
senator's and Representatives to
secure the free and unlimited COIN
lge OF silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-
'enting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
rs and laborers and producers Of
wealth
And we favor the continuation
1 agitation and contention for the
rec and unlimited coinage of sill
er at the preseht ratio Of 16 to l,
Or their own benefit and for the
eneit OF the peorle at large
liners, farmers, laborers and me-
hanics.
Ihe citizens OF Nevada, repre-
antatIyes OF the various silver
.agues, Irrespective of past party
in convention assembl-
!. do set forth the following dec
ration of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
lonetizatian Of silver and the free
1d unlimited coinage thereof, at
10 present ratio Of 16 to /.
Second. We are radically and
Materially opposed to the Nation
Republican and Democratic par
es on the question Of the tree
image Of silver and we denounce
le action Of their recent national
inventions as inimical to the ma
rial interests of the people cs the
n1ted States, and especially to
lose OF Nevada and all the other
lining states and territories, and
therefore repudiate the nomi-
.es Of their convention.
Third. We Pledge the nominees
this convention for Presidential
ectors to support no man for
or Vice-President Of the
11ted States who is not urequiv-
ally in favor Of free coinage 50
lined by this convention. We
seave to the silver leagues Of
evada, il Convention assembled,
e right Of directing said P,csi-
ntial electors for whom to cast
cir votes, should contingencies
quire. GEO. s NIXON,
