THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing OF the Republ'-
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 o9
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete remonetizati ton 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
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver of it's money
functions and denied to the ewner
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 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 unequivocally
in favor ef opening the MiEts 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 convention
will make no nominations for 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
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 /,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit of the people at large
farmers, laborers and me-
:hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
Of the various silver
eagues, irrespective Of past party
in convention ASSEMBLE
ID, do set forth the following dec
aration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
Of silver and the free
md unlimited coinage thereof, at
he present ratio Of 16 to /.
Second. We are radically and
lnalterably opposed to the Nation
il Republican and Democratic par
les on the question of the free
oinage of silver and we denounoe
he action of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
erial interests Of the people of the
Jn1ted States, and especially to
hose of Nevada and all the other
inning states and territories, and
e therefore repudiate the nomi-
ees of their convention.
Third. We Pledge the nominees
this convention for Presidential
Iectors to support no nal for
resident or Vice-President of tho
nited States who is not uhequiv-
cally in favor of free coinage as
