THE SILVER PLATFORM.

AhO 0AEOl "IIS u Gu0 h6pUDll-
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 30 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 thew
have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete remonetization of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
Tree 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 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 conditioss
which apply to the coinage Of G I'D,
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 person to Office who
is not known to be unequivocalIy
In favor of opening the MiLts 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 conv entiou
will make no nominations for Pres.
1dential electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed bv
this ton 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-.
'enting the true issue between tho
money powers and the bondhold-
'rs and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
i agitation and contention for the
rec and unlimited coinage Of sill
'er at the preseAt ratio of 16 to L,
or their own benefit and for the
enet1t OF the people at large
llners, farmers, laborers and me-
hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repro
entatIves Of the various silver
'agues, Irrespective Of past party
in convention assembi-
!, do set forth the following dec
ration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re.
onetizatian Of silver and the free
I'd unlimited coinage thereof, at
e present ratio of 16 to l.
Second. We are radically and
lalterably opposed to the Nation
Republican and Democratic par
es on the question Of the free
image OF silver and we denounce
e action Of their recent national
INVENTIONS as inimical to the ma
'ial interests of the people Of the
ilted States, and especially to
1se OF Nevada and all the other
ming states and territories, and
therefore repudiaBe the nomi-
IS Of their convention.

ctors to support no 0aa for
