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 1T 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 thew
have failed to accomplish the com
Flete 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
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
elevatlng any person to Office who
is not known to be unequlvocally
in favor Of opening the NiLts Of
the United States to the free and
unlimited c-anage Of silver.
In view Of the unsatisfactory at.
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remoneti-
zatioa Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres.
idential electors and the State Cen
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination elec-
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 nre.
senting the true issue between The
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer at the present ratio Of 16 to l..
for their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large
miners, farmers, Iaborers and mo-
chanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
sentatives Of the various silver
leagues, irrespective of past party
affiliations, in convention assembl-
ed, do set forth the following dec
laration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
Of silver and1the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio OF Is to l.
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed to the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question of the free
coinage of silver and we denounce
the action of their recent national
conventions as inimical to the ma.
terial interests of the people ofthe
United States, and especially to
those OF Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, and
We therefore repudiate the nomi-
lees Of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
d this convention for Presidential
electors to support no man for
President or Vice-Presiden cf tiIo
United States who is not unequiv-
ocally in favor of free coinage Gs
defined by this convention. We
'eseave to the silver leagues OF
Nevada, il Convention assembled,
he right Of directing said Prcsi-
lential electors for whom to cast
heir votes, should contingencies
