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 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 in
money TO monopolize the coin Of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people OF
Nevada are ia 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 unequivocaIIy
ia favor Of opening the Mirts Of
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.

titude OF President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remonetl-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no ncminationsfo for Pres.
idential electors and the State Gem

thority to put in nomination cleo

And we favor the continuation
# agitation and contention for the
