The silver wing OF the Republl-
can State Convention unanimous
y 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 os
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete reconciliation OF silver, and
to exact laws providing for the
free and unres tricted 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 of gold,
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
dcmption 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 unequiyocally
in favor of opening the hIirts Of
the United 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-
zation of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Gen.
tral 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-
senting the true issue between tho
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers Of
And we favor the continuation
II agitation and contention for the
'ree and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the preseLt ratio Of 16 to I,

benefit Of the people at large

Tnited States, and especially to

e therefore repudiate the nomi-
ees of their convention.

eally in favor Of free coinage as
