THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing of the Republi

ly adopted the Glowing platform:
The ccrVcEtion enacrses 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 oe
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to ac omplish the com
Ilete remone ization 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 Of the
Mint Act of 1873, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other political |
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 c. image 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 monopoize the coin of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people o.
Nevada are in favor of the coin.
