THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing OF the Repubu
can State Convention unanimous
| ly adopted the following platform:
The convection 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 o2
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete 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 1t occupied
previous to the passage Oh the
Mint Act Of 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other politica
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver Of it's m0ney
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 fgold.
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 tbs coin Of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people Of
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 unequivocalIy
In favor of opening the MiLts 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 No au-
thority to put in nomination elec-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
derses the vigorous efforts of 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 powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer at the present ratio of Is to !,
Tor their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large :
farmers, laboIcrs and me-
,hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
,entatives of the various silver
eagues, irrespective Of past party
affiliations, in convention assembi-
ID, do set forth the following dec
aration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
of silver and the free
md unlimited coinage thereof, at
he present ratio c. g to L.
Second. We az radically and
lnalterably opposed to the Nation
Il Republican and Democratic par
les on the question Of the free
oinage OF silver and we denouncs
he action Of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
erial interests Of the people Of tho
United States, and especially to
hose OF Nevada and all the othor
mining states and territories, and
re therefore repudiate the nomi-
ees of their convention.
Third. We Pledge the nominees
f this convention for Presidential
lectors to support no man for
resident or Vice-President Of the
rnited States who is not unrquiv-
cally in favor Of free coinage as
e1ned by this convention. We
eseave to the silver leagues Of
'evada, in Convention assembled,
le right Of directing said Picsi-
entail electors for whom to cast
1eir votes, should contingencies
equire. GEO. s NIXON.
