THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing Of the Republi-
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the following placform:
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
Ilete 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 1t occupied
previous to the passage of the
Mint Act of 1873, is essential to
the prosperity OF the country and
paramount to al 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 same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage Of gold,
reduced the money CT ultimate re.
demption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable in
money to monopolize tie coin Of
the, CONNER 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 gold, and they are opposed to
eleyating any peEaal q Office who
is not known t. ya uueqalvoealIy
in favcr of opening tho EIiLts OF
the United States g the free and
unlimited c IMAGE of silver
In view Of the unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the Temoneti-
zation OF silver, tais 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 il nomination cleo
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous eTo1t5 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.

United States, and especially to
those Of Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, and
We therefore repuiiate the nomi-
aces Of their convention.

of this convention for Presidential
electors to support 70 man for
