THE SILVER PLATFORM.

can State Convention unanimous
| ly adopted the following platform:
The convection 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 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 It occupied
previous to the passage Oh 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 nDney
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 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 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
any person to Office who
is not known to be unequivocalIy
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
dental electors and the State Cen
raj Committee to be appointed by
his Convention shall have no au-
5hority to put in nomination cleo
-ors.
The Convention cordially en-
lorses the vigorous efforts Of our
and Representatives to
secure the free and unlimited coin
ige Of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-
;enting the true is lie between the
money powers and the bondhold-
rs and laborers and producers of
wealth.
And we favor tho continuation
# agitation and contention for the
rec and unlimited coinage Of sill
'er at the preseht ratio of 16 to l,
or their own benefit and for the
eneft Of the people at large
ainersJ farmers, labo1ors and me-
hanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
of the various silver
aagues, irrespective Of past party
in convention assembl-
d, do set forth the following dec
lration of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
lonetizatian Of silver and the free
nd unlimited coinage thereof, at
ae present ratio of 16 to l.
Second. We are radically and
nalterably opposed to the Nation
| Republican and Democratic par
es on the question Of the free
sinage of silver and we denounce
le action Of their recent national
onventiens as inimioal to the ma
rial interests Of the people Of the
n1ted States, and especially to
lose OF Nevada and all the othor
lining states and territories, and
g therefore repudiate the nomi-
ses Of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
this convention for Presidential
eetors to support no ~oa1 for
.esident or Vice-President Of the
nited States who is not unequiv-
ally in favor OF free coinage as
fined by this convention. We
seave to the silver leagues Of
evada, in Convention assembled,
e right Of directing said Prcsi-
ntial electors for whom to cast
cir votes, should contingencies
quire. GEO. s NIXON.
