The silver wing OF the Republi-

ly adopt ed the following platform:
The c, onvention endorses and
adopts tn 9 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 p arty Of the Eastern
states and thu administration os
President Harr. ison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the com
rlete RECOMMENDATION Of silver, and
to enact laws viding for the
free and unrestric ted coinage Of
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place it occupied
previous to the passa &c 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 tho 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 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 On
Nevada are in favor Of the coin.

ditions which apply to the coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed to
eleyating any person 10 Office who

in favor Il opening the NliLts 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, tbs convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
tral 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
wealth
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and u u4nited coinage of sill
