The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
licas State Convention. held aJ 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.
Ilete RECOMMENDATION 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 o,cLpied
previous TO the passage Oh the
Mint Act OF 1878, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other political
consid derations. The Legislation
which robbed silver of its money
functions and denied to the owner
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the Coinage of goldi
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 ia favor Of the COIN
age Of silver upon tae 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 unequlv0c lily
in favor of opening the AiiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver
In view of thN unsatis isfactOry at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneu-
zation Of silver, tiis 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-
thority to put in nomination eleS-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts IF our
Senators and Representatives ia
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 16 to /,
for their own benefit and for the
senetit of the peorle at large
miners, farmers. laboIcrs and me
chanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repro
sentatives OF the various silver
leagues, irrespective OF past party
affiliations, in convention assembl-
ed, do set forth the following dec
laration of principles:
Fist. We demand the full re-
mon tizatien OF silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio OF Is to l
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed tC the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question OF the rec
coinage of silver and we denounce
the action OF their recent national
conventions as inimical to the ma
terial interests of the people "f the
United States, and especially to
those OF Nevada and all the other
mining states and territorie-, and
we therefore repu5iate the nnml-
nees OF their convention.
Third. We rl3uge the nominees
OF this convention for Presidential
electors tt support no "7al for
President or Vice-Presiden. rf the
United States who is not uu"4 iiv-
eeally in favor of free coinage as
defined by this conventin"- We
reseave to the silver leagues OF
Nevada, il Convention assembled,
the right of directing said p esi-
Dental electors for whom to cast
their votes, should contingencies
