THE SILVER PLATFORM.

can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the following platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
licas State Convention, held ut 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 o.
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the com
Elete 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 politica |
considerations The legislation
which robbed silver of its money
functions and denied to the owner
of siIyer 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 to office who
is not known to be unequlvocalIy
in favor Of opening the NIiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
In view Of tho unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remoneti-
zatlon OF silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres.
idential electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination elee-
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-
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
