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 as 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 demonstration Of silver, and
to eoact 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 it's 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,J
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 tho coin
age Of silver upon the same con-
dition5 which apply to the coinage
q gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person TO Office who
is not known to be unequivocalIy
in favor Of opening the 1Iirts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coi' Of silver.
In view Of Tia unsatisfactory at.
titude C President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti.
zatio4 OF silver, ttis convention
will make no nominations for Pres.
idertial electors and the State Gen.
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Conxen ion shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination cleo
| tors
The Convention cordially en-.
dorses the yigotods 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 Iaborers and producers OF
wealth
And we favor the continuation
Ct agitation and contention for the
free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer at the pEcse1t ratio Of 1G to 1,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the peorle at large
miners, farmers, laborers and me-
ghanic5.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
sentatives Of the various silver
leagues, irrespective Of past party
affiliations, in convention ASSEMBLE
cd, do set forth the following dec
liration of principles:
First. We demand the full re.
monetizatian Of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
t.He present ratio Of Is to !.
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed to the Nation
a Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question Of the iree
coinage Of silver and W9 denounce
the action Of their recent national
conventions as inimical 10 the MAJ
serial interests Of the people efthe
Unltod States, and especially to
those Of Nevada and all the other
mining ststes and territories, and
we therefore rcpudiate the nomi-
necs OF their convention.
Third. We pledge tho nominees
OF this convention for Presidential
electors to support no ma4 for
President or Yice-Presilon u tho
United States who il. not uae4 lig-
ooally in favor Of free coi4age es
