THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing OF the Republl
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the GLOWING 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 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 o,enpied
previous to the passage Oh the
Mint Act Of 1878, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other politica
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver Of its mDney
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the same coined int 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 the unsatisfactory at
titude of President Ha rrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Gen.
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination elec-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts Of 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
powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and unhmited cottage Of sill
YER at the preseht ratio Of 16 to 1,
for their owc benefit and for the
oenetit Of the people at large
farmers, laboIers and me-
,hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
sentatives d the various silver
irrespective Of past PARTY
in convention assemble
ID, do set forth the following dec
aration Of principles
First. We demand the fu1 re-
Of silver and the free
md unlimited coinage thereof, at
.ha present ratio Of Is to l
Second. We are radically and
lnaIterably opposed to the Nation
u Republican and Democratic par
les on the question Of the rec
oinage of silver and We denounce
he action Of tt ir recent national
as inimical to the lna-
erial interests Of the people q the
United States, and especially to
hose Of Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, and
7e therefore repudiate the nomi-
ees Of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
+ this convention for Presidential
lectors tS support no "'aa for
resident or Vice-Presiden # the
United States who is not uht 4aiv-
cally in favor Of free coinage as
efned by this convention. We
eseave to the silver leagues OF
Tevada. iE Convention assembled,
ne right of directing said Plcsi
entail electors for whom to cast
heir votes, should contingencies
equire. GEO. S NIXON,
