THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing Of the BepubIl
can State Conventio. uuaaimoUs-
ly adopted 'ne lowing piatlorm:
The cc~ocEtion en,:.r5cs 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 standardization OF
President Harrison. insofar as they
have failed to ac 'omplish the COM
Elete reconciliation of silver, aud
to enact laws providing for ths
free and unrestricted Coinage OK
that metal.
I Resolved. That the restoration
( of silver to the place it o'eLpied ,
previous TO the passage o. 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 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 ayment, 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 10 office who
/ is not known to be unequIvocally
in favor Of opening the MiLts or
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
In view of thu unsatisfactory at
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remonei-
zation of silver, tits convention
will make no nominations foi Pres
( idential electors and the State Gem
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 vigor Gus efforts IF our
! Senators and Representatives IT,
secure the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, and the educational
work that they have done il pre-
sentiug the true is-ue between tho
money powers and the bCndhold-
ers and laborers and producers Of
wealth
And we favor tn" continuation
of agitation and contention for the
free and UuH mited coinage Of sill

chanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
: sentatives If the various silver
leagues irrespective of past party
affiliations, in convention assembl-
ed, do set firth the following dec
laratiOn of principles:
Fl st. We demand the full re-
mon tizati8n OF silver and the free
and unlimited coinagr thereof, at
the present ratio of l6 to l
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed to the Nation
a. Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question OF the rec
coinage OF silver and we denounce
the action of their recent national
conventions as inimical 10 the ma
terial interests of the people Il the
United states, and especially to
those of Nevada and all the othor
mining st tes and territories, AID
we therefore repuIiate the nomi-
neeS of their convention.
