The convention endorses and
adopts the platform Of the Repub.
licas State Convention, hello 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 o.
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
considerations The legislation
which robbed silver of its money
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the came coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage of gold,
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demption or rayment, about one
half, and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable in
money TO monopolize The coin Of
the commel cial 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 eoli, and they are opposed to
eleyating any person to Office who
is not known to be unequiyocally
il favor of opening the AIiEts OF
the United etates % the free and
unlimited e Of silver.
In view Of the unsatisfactory att
titude Of President Harrison to tho
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zatiol Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres.
identiai electors and the state Cen.
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-.
thoiity to put in nomination elec-

The Convention cordially en-
dorse5 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 end Iaborers and producers OF
wealth
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer at the preseht ratio Of IS to 1,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large
sinners, farmers, laborefs and me-
chanics.
