THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing OF the Repub1
can State Convention unanimous
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 o,cnpied
previous to the passage Oh 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 mDney
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 ofgold,
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 tho coin Of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people oi
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
is not known to be unequivocally
in favor Of opening the MiEts 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, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed BY
this Convention shall have ne au-
therity to put in nomination eleo-
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
powers and the bondhold-
ers end laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation

rec and unlimited coinage Of sil-
yer at the present ratio Of 16 to /,

benefit of the people at large

The citizens of Nevada, repre-
Ientatives of the various silver

ees Of their convention.

cally in favor OF free coinage az
