THE SILVER PLATFORM.

lie silver wing Of the Republi
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted tna sing platform:
The coz ecEu9a enIer3es 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 cf the Eastern
states and the administration O.
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to &C omplish the com
/ rlete 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 1t 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
which robbed silver Of it's 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 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 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
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 tho unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
Zation Of silver, Il is convention
will make no nominations fol Pres
electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thorily to put in nomination elec-
tors
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigo Gus efforts IF our
Senators and Representatives to
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 end laborers and producers OF
wealth
And we favor tho continuation
of agitation and cont ton for the

ees Of their convention.
