THE SILVER PLATFORM.

can State Convention unanimous
| ly adopted the following pIatiorm:
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 oe
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete RECOMMENDATION Of silver, and
to enaet 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 rayment, about one
half. and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable in
money to monopolize the coin Of
the CONNER cial world.
Resolved, That tie people Of
Nevada are in favor Of the COIN
age Of silver upon the same con-
ditions which apply to :Le coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person TO oiHce who
is not known to be ueal ,Iyocally
in favor of opening the DIirts OF
the United States e tie free and
unlimited c3iHaee Of silver.
In view Of tha unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the 1emoneti-
zation Of silver, tbis convention
will make no nominations for Pres.
idential electors and the State Gem
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au.
thority to put il 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 pre-.
3enting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers end laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
# agitation and contention for the
rec and u1I4nlited coinage of sill
rer at the present ratio of Is to l,
or their own benefit and for the
'eneHt Of the peot,le at large
miners, farmers, labo1crs and me-
hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
entatives Of the various silver
eagues, irrespective Of past party
in convention assembl-
d. do set forth the following dec
arat. Of principles:
Fist. We demand the full re-
of silver and the free
nd Unlimited coinage thereof, at
he present ratio of l6 to /.
Second. We are radically and
Inalterably opposed to the Nation
i Republican and Democrat tic par
les on the question OF the tree
oinage Of silver and We denounce
he action Of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
arial interests Of the people cs ths
)n1ted States, and especially to
nose Of Nevada and all the other
inning states and territories, ard
e therefore repudiate the nomi-
ees of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
this convention for Presidential
ectors to support no man for
resident or Vice-Presidenl Of the
nited States who is not unoqaiy
cally in favor of free coinage as
