The cor geEtion endorses and
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
licas State Convention, held at Va

lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the administration OF
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the com.
rlete reconciliation Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage OK
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t p'chpied Q
previous to the passage o. tho
Mint AcS OF 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations. The legislatiou
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-
aemption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In

the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people Oh

ditions which apply to the coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person to Office who

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

tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-

The CeaventioR 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 thatthey have done in pre-
senting the true is"ue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and lsborers and producers Of
wealth. ..
And we favor the continuation
of agitation and contention for the
free and unlimited coinage Of sill

for their own benefit and for the
rsnet1t Of the people at large

The citizens Of Nevada, repre-

the present ratio of Is to l
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed tc the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question OF the tree
coinage Of silver and we denounce
the action of their recent national
conventions as inimical to the ma
teriaI interests of the people cf the
United States. and especially to
those Of Nevada and all the othcr
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 tc support no "'a1 for
President or Vice-Presiden, pf the
United States who is not unvqniv-
ocally in favor OF free coinage as
defined by this convention. We
reseave to the silver leagues OF

the right of directing said PIesi-
Dental electors for whom to cast
their votes, should contingencies
