THE SILVER PLATFORM.

|
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 o&
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 Oh the
Mint Act Of 1878, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other politica l
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 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 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 unequivocalIy
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
ldential electors and the State Gen.
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au.
thOrity to put in nomination cleo
tors.
The Convention cordially en-.
derses the vigorous efforts of our
Senators and Representatives te,
secure the free and unlimited coin
lge of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-
'enting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
rs and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
t agitation and contention for the
rec and unlimited coinage of sill
er at the preseht ratio of46 to /,
or their own benefit and for the
eneit Of the people at large
liners, farmers, laboIors and me-
hanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
Of the various silver
,agues, irrespective Of past party
in convention assembl-
], do set forth the following dec-
ration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
lonetizatian Of silver and the free
i'd unlimited coinage thereof, at
le present ratio Of 16 to l.
Second. We are radically and
opposed to the Nation
Republican and Democratic par
es on the question Of the Tree
image Of silver and we denounce
% action of their recent national
inventions as inimieal to the ma
rial interests of the people OF the
n1ted States, and especially to
ose Of Nevada and all the other
ming states and territories, and
) therefore repudiato the nomi-
es Of their convention.
Third. We Pledge the nominees
this convention for Presidential
ectors to support no ma1 for
esident or Vice-President If the
lited States who is not unturliv-
ally in favor Of free coinage as
fined by this convention. We
