The ailvcr wing Of the Repubn
can State Convention unanuous-
ly adopted 'ra owing pi.tLorm:
The &C. vcriion enGor5o5 and
adopts the platform of the Iepuo>
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
rlete remone tization of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage OK
that metal.
Resolved. That tie restoration
of silver to the place It o'cLpied
previous TO the passage Ga the
Mint Act OF 1878, 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 Lave
the same coined into money upon
The some terms and conditions
which apply to the cninage of gold
reduced the money of ultimate re-
demption or payment, about one
half. and enabled the owners OF
money and oblig ations payable In
money to monopolize tho coin OF
| the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people OK
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 TO Office who
I is not known to be unequlEaTaIly
! in favor of opening the MiLts OF
/ the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of tn" unsatisfactory at
titude of President Harrison TO the
paramount issue of the remoneti-
zation of silver, this convention
will make no nominations foi Pres
idential electors and the State Gem
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination eleS-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts 0f our
Senators and Representatives t9
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 pewers and the bCndhoid-
ers and laborers and producers OF
wealth
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and unnmited coinage OF Sill

for their own benefit and for the
seRefit of the people al large -
