The convection endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
licas State Convention. held at Va

lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the administration %
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete remonetiZation 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 D 'eLpiea
previous to the passage o, tbs
Mint Act Of 1878, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations. The legislados
watch robbed silver Of it's money
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the same coined into money upoa
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage Of gold.
reduced the money of ultimate ~
demption or payment, about orc
half, and enabled the owners sf
money and obligations payable IN
money to monopolize tho coin Of
the commercial world.
l. Resolved, That the people d
Nevada are in favor of the COIN
age Of silver upon the same ooa-
ditions which apply to the coinage
of gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any persen to Office who
is not known to be unequivoealIy
in favsr 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 tbs
paramount issue of the remoned-
zation Of silver, tLis convention
will make no neminationsf foI Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no ax-
thority to put in nomination cleo
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dOrseS the viEO Gus efforts Il car
Senators and Representative IN
secure the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-
sentiDg the true is.ue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers aad producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
of agitation and conten ton for the
free and unnmited coinage Of sil-
yer at the preseLt ratio of 16 to 1,
for their own benefit and for the
ha1eat Of the people at large
chanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
sentatives Of the various silver
leagues, irrespective Of past party
affiliations, in convention assembi-
ed, do set forth the following dec
laration of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
monetizatian Of silver and the frss
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio of l6 to l.
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed tc the Nation
III Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question OF the Tree
coinage Of silver and we denounee
the action Of their recent national
conventions as inimioal to the ma
terial interests of the people Of the
United States, and especially to
those OF Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, and
we therefore repudiate the nomi-
nees OF their convention.
Third. We rledge the nominees
of this convention for Presidential
electors tS support no "Na1 for
President or Vice-PresidenU OF the
United States who is not unequiv-
ocally in favor of free coinage as
defined by this convention. We
reseave to the silver leagues Of
Nevada, iE Convention assembled,
the right Of directing said Presi-
Dental electors for whom to cast
their votes, should contingencies
req aire. GEO. s NIXON,
