The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
licas State Convention, held at Va
city Oh 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
Elete 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 1t 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
consid erations 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,
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
elevating any iz.Isal 10 o.fce who
is not known to Oe Uneqpiyocally
