THE SILVER PLATFORM. /.

Inc silver wing OF the Repubu
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the foltowing 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 1t occupied
previous to the passage OF the
Mint Act of 1878, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other politica
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 Of
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 unequiyocalIy
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 to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti.
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Gen.
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination cleo
tors.

And we favor the continuation

The citizens Of Nevada, repre-

First. We demand the full re-
nonetizatian of silver and the free

as inimical to the ma

Tn1ted States, and especially to
1ose OF Nevada and all the othcr
lining states and territories, and
Q therefore repudiate the nomi-
ees Of their convention.
Third. We Pledge the nominees

ectors to support no nan for
resident or Vice-Presidenl Of the
nited States who is not uneqniv-
ally in favor Of free coinage as
,fned by this convention. We

initial electors for whom to cast
cir votes, should contingencies
