THE PLATFORM.
The republicans of Alturas coun-
~ in convention assembled hereby
ndorse the administration of Pres
dent Harrison as one of the ablest
and purest administrations handed
Town by the history of our country.
We indorse the platform and
principles enunciated by the repub-
lean national convention at Min
1eapolis; and further demand the
unlimited coinage of silver.
We indorse the efforts of Presi-
lent Harrison to bring about our
iesires for silver, by his wise and
,tatesmanlike endeavors to that
End, in inducing the great govern
nents Of the earth to join and en-
gage in q monetary conference,
which we believe will soon accom-
olish our desires for the protection
md maintenance of the royal white
metal, silver, in its proper place.
We condemn the democratic ma
ority in congress in defeating the
5assage of the free coinage bill
passed by the senate, and condemn
hem, further, in refusing to make
he necessary appropriations to en-
lble the administration to carry
'ut the aims of the monetary con-
erence.
We indorse the action of our en-
ire delegation in both branches of
congress in their efforts to enact a
aw to provide for the free and un-
United coinage Of silver; also their
idelity to the mining interests in
IDAHO by trying to defeat the efforts
# the democratic party to remove
he duty on lead.

'ention. The following are those
