adopts the platform-ef tie Repub-
licas State Convention, he'd At Va
city on the 80 Of April lasf, as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of lie Lastern
states and the admin tration oe
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to ac omplish tle COM
Llete remone ization OF silver, and
to eaa,t 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 1878, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other politica l
consid erations. 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 G image 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 OF
Nevada are ia favor of the COIN
age of silver upon the same con-
ditions which apply to he coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person o Office who
is not known to be uueqnlvocally
in favor Of opening the Mirts Of
thedU nited States Is lie Tree and
unli nited coinage of eilver.
