THE SILVER PLATFORM.

| CoA - tAOO OOHfEul4oA OAtlIAA4ONo-
| 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 Of the Eastern
states and the administration oe
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the com
rlete reconciliation 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 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 Oh
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
elevating any person 10 Office who
is not known to be unequiyocally
in favor Of opening the NIirts OF
the United States to lie free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of the unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue OF the renoneti-
zation OF silver, this 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 ia nomination cleo
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 b0ndhold-
ers end laborers and producers OF
wealth
And we fav II the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and unlimited coiaage of sill
yer at the present ratio OF 16 to /,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the Pc sle at Il ge-
farmers, L.boteas and me-
