can State Conventio.t unanimous
" adopted tr- IL wing platform:
The &c ecLtion enIurses and
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
licas State Convention, held At Va
citv on the 80 OF April last, as fol-
lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party q the Eastern
states and the admin tration o.
President Harrison. insofar as they
have failed toac ompIish the COM
rlete remone ization Of silver, and
to ena,t laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinaCa 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 politica |
considerations. The legislation
wuich robbed silver of it's mo aey
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 of gold,
reduced the money of ultimate re-
demption or ayment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable in
money 70 monopoIize the coin OF
the commei cial world.
Resolved, That the people o.
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 tc
elevating any person 10 office who
is not known to be uneqnlvocally
in favor openlng the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited C image of silver.

zation OF silver, t is convention
will make 10 nominations foi Pres
identidl electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by

thority to put ia nomination eleC-

The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigo GUS efforts If our

secure the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver, and the educational
worb that they have done in pre-
senting the true is ue between the

ers and Iaborers and producers OF
wealth
And we fav the continuation
of agitati IN and contention for the
fee and u, mited coinage Of sill

coinage of silver and wo denounce
the action of their recent national
conventions as inimical to the ma
terial interests of the people cf the
United states, and especially to
those OF Nevada and all the othor
mining st tes and territories, aud
we therefore repudiate the nomi-
nees of their convention.
