THE SILVER PLATFORM.

can State Conventian unanimous
ly adopted the folio ring 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 oe
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Ilete remoneiizatj0n of silver, and
to enast 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 politica J
consid derations. 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 ia
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 unequivoeally
in favor Of opening the Mirts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of th" unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the Iemoneti-
zation CT silver, this convention
will make no nominations foz Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in 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-
Senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
of agitation and contention for the
free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer at the present ratio Of 16 to 1,
Tor their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large
farmers, laborers and me-
,hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
5entatiyes of the various silver
leagues, irrespective of past party
Affiliations, in convention assembl-
ed. do set forth the following dec
aration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
Of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
The present ratio of 16 to l.
Second. We are radically and
lnalterably opposed to the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question Of the tree
coinage of silver and we denounce
he action Of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
5erial interests Of the people ce the
United States. and especially to
hose Of Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, ard
We therefore repudiate the nomi-
ices Of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
II this convention for Presidential
electors to support no man for
President or Vice-President Of tho
United States who is not une4uiv-
,cally in favor of free coinage g
lefined by this conyeatiQn. 7 Q
'eseave to the silver leagues of
Nevada, iE Convention assembled,
he right of directing said Pfcsi-
lential electors for whom to cast
heir votes, should contingencies
equire. GEO. S NIXON,
