THE SILVER PLATFORM.

Inc silver wing OF the RepublI-
can SJate 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 oe
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the com
Elete reconciliation Of silver, and
to e0act laws providing for tho
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 coinage ofgold,
reduced the money of ultimate re-
demption or payment, about one
half. and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable III
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
eleTating any person to Office who
is not known to be uneqqivocalIy
in favor Of opening the AIiLts Of
the [ nited States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of the unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zatio1 Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres.
ldential 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-
'enting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
+ agitation and contention for the
rec and unlimited coinage of sill
7er at the present ratio of 16 to L,
or their own benefit and for the
'enedt of the people at large
miners, farmers, laborers and me-
hanics
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
entatiyes of the various silver
aagues, irrespective of past party
ffiliations, in convention assembl-
d. do set forth the following dec
aration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
lonetizatian Of silver and the free
nd unlimited coinage thereof, at
he present ratio Of l6 to /.
Second. We are radically and
Materially opposed to the Nation
| Republican and Democratic par
es on the question Of the 1ree
oinage of silver and we denounce
le action of their recent national
onventions as inimical to the ma
.rial interests of the people cs the
nited States, and especially to
lose OF Nevada and all the other
lining states and territories, and
e therefore repuiiate the nomi-
aes Of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
this convention for Presidential
ectors to support no man for
resident or Vice-President Of the
nited States who is not uueqaiv-
ally in favor of free coinage as
efined by this convention. We
seave to the silver leagues Of
evada, il Convention assembled,
e right Of directing said Prcsi-
initial electors for whom to cast
cir votes, should contingencies
quire. GEO. S NIXON.
