The silver wing Of the Republi
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the Glowing 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 OF
PRESIDENT Harrison, insofar as they
nave failed to accomplish the COM
Flete demonstration of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage or
that metal.
Resolved. That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t 'enpied
previous TO the passage o. the
Mint Act OF 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations. The legislaiop
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 gold.
reduced the money of ultima to re-
demption or payment, about one
half. and enabled the owners of
money and oblI- ations payable In
money to moIopo'ize tho coin of
the commercial y orld.
Resolved, That the people Oh
Nevada are in favor of the COIN
age of silver upon tne same con-
ditiOns which apply t. the coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person to eff ce who
Is not known to be UnequIVocallY
in favor Ct opening the NMts OF
the UHited States to the fitc and
unlimited coinage of silver.

Second. We are radically and
lnalterably opposed tc the Nation
y Republican and Democratic par
les on the question OF the freo
oinage of silver and We denounce
he action of their recent national

erial interests Of the people cf the
United States, and especially to
hose OF Nevada and all the other
mining stttes and territories, and
re therefore repu 1iate the nOmi-
eeS of their convention.

cally in favor Of free coinage as
