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 of
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 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other polltiea
consid iderations. The legislauoD
which robbed silver Of its 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 ofgold,
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 Of
Nevada are in favor Of the coin-
age Of silver upon the same cor
ditions which apply to the coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed 10
elevating any person to Office who
is not known to be unequivocally
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 10 the
paramount issue Of the remonetl.

will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au.
