THE SILVER PLATFORM.

| hO oAA ~ NAA9 VI IlbO 1lCRQU1l-
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 oe
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Flete 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 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
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 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 in favor Of tho 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 AIirts 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, tLis convention
will make no nominations for Pres.
Idential electors and the State Gem
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
bhorlty 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
lge Of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-.
'entlng the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
'rs and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
f agitation and contention for the
rec and unlimited coinage Of sill
'er at the preseht ratio of 16 to 1,
or their own benefit and for the
eneft of the people at large
liners, farmers, laborers and me-
hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
entatives of the various silver
aagues, irrespective Of past party
ffi-iations, in convention assembI-
d, do set forth the following dec
lration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
lonetizatian of silver and the free
nd unlimited coinage thereof, at
le present ratio Of 16 to l.
Second. We are radically and
Materially opposed to the Nation
Republican and Democratic par
es on the question Of the free
oinage of silver and we denounce
le action of their recent national
onventions as inimioal to the ma
rial interests of the people Of
n1ted States, and especially to
lose OF Nevada and all the other
ining states and territories, and
g therefore repudiate the nonf-
'es OF their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
this convention for Presidential
ectors to support no man for
'esident or Vice-President If tho
nited States who is not unoqniv-
ally in favor Of free coinage as
fined by this convention. Ne
