The convention 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
Elete reconciliation of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage Of
! that metal.
| Resolved, That tie restoration
of silver to the place 1t occupied
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 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 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 tc
elevating any person to Office who
is not known to be unequivocally
In favor Of opening the MiEts 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.
idential electors and the State Cen
tral 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 tn
secure the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-.
sentiDg 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 unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the present ratio Of 16 to 1,
for their own benefit aud for the
benefit Of the people at large
farmers, labo1ers and me-
:hanics.

of the various silver
eagues, irrespective Of past party
in convention assembl-
ID, do set forth the following dec
aration Of plinciples
First. We demand the full re-
of silver and the free
md unlimited coinage thereof, at
he present ratio OF l6 to l.

United States, and especially to
hose of Nevada and all the Other

Te therefore repudiate the nomi-
ees Of their convention.
