THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing of the RepubH
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the following platform:
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 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 Of
that metal.
Resolved, That tie restoration
of silver to the place 1t occupied
previous to the passage Oh the
Mint Act of 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paRamount to all other political
consid The legislation
which robbed silver Of its Nancy
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 ofgoid,
reduced the money of ultimate re.
dsmption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable tn
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
slevating any person to Office who
is not known to be unequivocalIy
in favor of opening the MiLts Of
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of the unsa tisfactory at.
titude of President q. rrison to tho
paramount issue of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Gem
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have ne au-
thority to put in nomination elec-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses tho vigorous efforts 9f our
Senators and Representatives tn
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 unlimited coinage Of sil-
yer at the preseht rattle Of 16 to 1,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit Of tho people at large
miners, farmers, laboIcrs and He-
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-
of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio of 16 to l.
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed to the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question of the FREQ
coinage Of silver and we denounce
the action Of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
terial interests OF the people Of tho
United States, and especially to
those OF Nevada and all the othW
states and territories, and
we therefore repuaiate the nomi-
nees of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
Of this convention for Presidential
electors tS support no "eaa for
President or Vice-Presidens Of the
United States who is not uneqHiv-
ocally in favor Of free coinage az
1efned by this convention. We
.eseave to the silver leagues Of
Nevada, il Convention assembled,
he right Of directing said Plesi-
lential electors for whom to cast
heir votes, should contingencies
'equire, GEO. s NIXON,
chairman State Committee OF Sill
