TIE silver PLATFORM.


can State Convention unanirnous-
ly adopted the yHJwing platforms:
The cOrFeElion endorses and
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
licas State Convention, held at Va
citv 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
have failed TO accomplish the COM
rlete RECOMMENDATION of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage ek
that metal.
Resolved. That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t o'cLpied
previous TO the passage oI tho
Mint Act or 1878, is essential 70
the prosperity OF the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations. The Legislation
which robbed silver OF its money
functions and denied TO the owner
Of silver bullion the right to bave
the same coined int money upon
the some terMs and conditions
which apply to the Coinage 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 ths coin OF
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people Ok
Nevada are in favor Of the cola
age Of silver upon the same eon-
sitions which apply to the coirage
Of geld, and they are opposed to
elevating any Perssn TO Office whs
is not known to be unequivocally
in fsvsr Of opening the MiLts of
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver.
In view of tn" unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue OF the remoDeu-
zation OF silver, this convention
will make no nominations foI Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
therity to put in nomination cleo
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dsrses the vigorous efforts II cur
Senators and Representatives ts
secure the free and unlimited coln-
age Of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-
sentiBg the true issue between the
money pewers and the bondhoid-
ers and laborsrs aad producers OF
wealth
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and unnnlited coinage of sill
yer at the preseht ratio of 16 to L,
for their own benefit and for the
neusfit of the people at large -
eainers, farmers. labor ers AID me-
chanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
sentatives Of the various silver
leagues, irrespective Of past party
affiliations, ia convention assembl-
ed, do set forth the following dec
laration of principles:
Fl st. We demand the full re-
mon tizstisn of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio OF l6 to
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed tc the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties On the question OF the REQ
coinage of silver and we denounce
the action of their recent national
conventions as inimical to the ma-
terial interests OF the people II the
United States, and especially to
| those OF Nevada and all the other
mining st,tes and territories, and
we therefore repu date the no1ni-
nees of their convention.
I Third. We rl2dge the nominees
OF this convention for Presidential
electors te support no NaH for
President or Vice-PresidenU a. the
United States who is not uneg'Its-
eoally in fover of free coinage as
defined by this convention, We
reseave to the silver leagues of
| Nevada, il Convention assembled, +,
the right of directing said Pre5i-
| dental electors for whom 10 cas-
their votes, should contingencies
