Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1892-12-08
THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing Of the Republi-
can State Convention unanimous
ly 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
Ilete remonetization 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
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 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 OPP sed to
elevating any person 10 Office who
is not known to be uncq irocally
in favor OF opening the MiLts Of
the United Stat : to the free and
unlimited coig e Of silver.
IN view of IN unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zatioB Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
iGentiai electors and the State Cen
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 the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers end laborers and producers OF
wealth
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and uhmited coinage of sill
yer at the preseht ratio Of Is to 1,
for thejr own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large
miners, farmers, laboIors and me-
chanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
seatatives Of the various silver
leagues, irrespective Of past party
affiliations, in convention ASSEMBLE
ed. do set forth the following dec
Of principles:
Fist. We demand the full re-
Of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio OF l6 to l.
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed to the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question OF the iree
coinage of silver and we denounce
the action Of their recent national
conventions as inimicaI to the ma
-erial interests Of the people CT tho
United States, and especially to
those Of Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, aid
We therefore repudiate the nomi-
lees of their convention.
Third. We Pledge the nominees
u this convention for Presidential
electors to support no man for
President or Vice-Presiae1 3 tho

ocally in favor Of free ceiaae %
