THE SILVER PLATFORM.

! The silver wing of the Republi-
can Stale Conyertioa unanimous
ly adopted 'ne tssving platform:
The conveLiion eaacrses and
adopts the platform OF the Repub-
licas State Convention, held 1T 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 ot
President Harrison. insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete remonetization OF silver, and
to enaat laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage of
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place il occupied
previous to the passage Of the
Mint Act Of 1878, is essential to
the prosperity OF the country and
paramount to al other political
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver Of its money
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to lave
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage Of gold,
reduced the moneyof Ultimate re-
demption or payment, about one
half. and enabled the owners Of
money and obligations payable in
money to monopoiize tie coin OF
the CONNER ciaI 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 tc
elevating any person 10 Office who
is not known to be uaeq1iyocally
in favor Of opening the GIiLts OF
the United 51ates 70 lie free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of tlln unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the state Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination cleo
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
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and uni.mited coinage of sill
yer at the preseLt ratio Of 16 to l,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large
miners, farmers, labo1crs and me-
chanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
sentatives Of the various silver
leagues, irrespective of past party
affiliations, in convention assembl-
ed, do set forth the following dec.
laration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
monetizatian of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
The present ratio OF I6 to l.
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed to the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question Of the free
coinage Of silver and we denounce
the action of their recent national
conventions as inimical to the ma
terial interests Of the people CT the
United States, and especially to
those Of Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, and
we therefore repudiate the nomi-
nees of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
OF this convention for Presidential
electors to support no MAJ for
President or Vice-President Of tie
United States who is not uneguit,-
ocally in favor of free coinage as
defined by this convention. ne
