THE SILVER PLATFORM.

N-e~AA
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 CT the Eastern
states and the administration O..
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the com
rlete reconciliation OF silver, and
to exact 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 its 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 fgold,
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable ia
money to monopoiize the coin Of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people Of
Nevada are ia 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 10 Office who
is not known to bo unequivocally
in favor OF opening the liiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of tho unsatisfactory at
titude OF President Harrison to the
issue Of the remoneti-
zation OF silver, tkis convention
will make no nominations for Pres
dental electors and the State Cen
raj Committee to be appointed by
his Conven tion shall have no au-
.horlty to put in nomination cleo
.ors.
The Convention cordially en-
3orses 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-
ienting 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 unAmited coinage of sill
'er at the preseLt ratio of 16 to l,
or their own benefit and for the
enedt Of the people at large
ainers, farmers, laborers and me-
hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
entatives Of the various silver
eagues, irrespective of past party
in convention assembl-,
d, do set forth the following dec
lration Of n,incipIes
First. We demand the full re-
onetizatian Of silver and the free
nd unlimited coinage thereof, at
ne present ratio Of Is to l.
Second. We are radically and
nalterably opposed to the Nation
Republican and Democratic par
es on the question Of the tree
oinage of silver and wo denounce
le action of their recent national
9nventions as inimical to the ma
rial interests of the people cs tho
nited States, and especially to
lose OF Nevada and all the other
lining states and territories, and
e therefore repuiiate the nomi-
ees Of their convention.
Third. We Pledge the nominees

ectors to support no man for
