THE SILVER PLATFORM.

can state COQV6QGiOl ulaulmOu6-
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 o?
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 Of
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t occupied
previous to the passage o. the
Mint Act of 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other politica
Considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver Of it's nn0ney
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 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 oi
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 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 to the
earamount issue Of the remoneti-
ton Of silver, this convention
y. | make no nominations for Pres
H. c5ntial electors and the State Cen.
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination cleo
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts ef our
Senators aid Representatives tn
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 unhmited coinage of sill
yer at the preseht ratio Of 16 to l,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit of the people at large
farmers, laboIors and me-
chanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
sentatives of the various silver
leagues, irrespective Of past party
in convention assembl-
ed, do set forth the following dec
Iara ton Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
Of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
The present ratio Of Is to |
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed to the Nation
al Republican AID Democratic par
ties on the question Of the tree
coinage Of silver and we denounce
the action of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
teriaI IL. cests Of the people cf the
United States. and especially to
hose of Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, and
ne therefore repudiate the nomi-
lees Of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
If this convention for Presidential
electors tt support no nan for
President or Vice-President II the
United States who is not une I'!iv-
,cally in favor of free coinage as
lefined by this convention.
'eseave to the silver league II

lential electors for whom to ctsst
