Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1892-09-27
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 aJ 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
Elete RECOMMENDATION 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 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
eleyating any person to Office who
is not known to be unequivocally
in favor of opening the MiLts Of
the United Ste IS to the free and
unlimited colt Of silver.
In view Of tho Unsa tisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remoneti.
zatioa Of silver, this convention
will mike no nominations for Pres.
identftl electors and the State Gem
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thoiity to put in nomination elec-l
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-
5enting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ars and laborers and producers Of
wealth
And we favor the continuation
# agitation and contention for the
rec and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer at the present ratio of Is to 1,
or their own benefit and for the
,eneft Of the people at large
miners, farmers, laborers and me-
hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
entatives of the various silver
eagues, irrespective Of past party

n1ted States, and especially to
lose Of Nevada and all the other
iAing states and territories, and
e therefore repudiate the nomi-
ees of their convention.

ally in favor Of free coinage as
