THE SILVER PLATFORM.

liz SILVER NluS OI lIte puDlI-
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
Elete RECOMMENDATION 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 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 10 monopoize the coin Of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people Oh
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 Ct opeuing 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 renoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no ncminationsf for Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination elee-
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
fee and u4l!nited Il coinage Of sill
yer at the prescLt ratio of 16 to l,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large
farmers, labofcrs and me-
:hanics
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
Of the various silver
leagues, Irrespective Of past party
in convention assembl-
I'd. do set forth the following dec
aration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
nonetizatian Of silver and the free
md unlimited coinage thereof, at
he present ratio OF lG to |.
lnalterably opposed to the Nation
Il Republican and Democratic par
les on the question of the Tree
,oinage Of silver and we denounce
he action of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
erial interests of the people cs the
United States, and especially to
hose of Nevada and all the othor
mining states and territories, and
We therefore repudiate the nomi-
ees Of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
i this convention for Presidential
lectors to support no maa for
resident or Vice-President OF the
Jnited States who is not uneqniv-
cally in favor Of free coinage bs
etined by this convention. Ne
