THE SILVER PLATFORM.

| The silver wing OF the Repub1
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the foll lowing platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the kepub-
licas State Convention, held ut 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 &C. . nplish the COM
Elete RECOMMENDATION of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage Of
that metal.
Resolved, That the 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 naDney
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-
demptfon or payment, about one
half. and enabled the owners Of
money and obligations payable Ia
money to monopollze tho coin Of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people oi
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 to Office who
is not known to be unequivocally
in 1Avor of opening the MiLts 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-
"a ation 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-
therity to put in nomination cleo
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-.
senting the true issue between the
powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and conten tion for the
tree and unhmited coinage of sill
YER at the present ratio of 16 to I,
or their own benefit and for the
oeEeft Of the people at large
farmers, laboIcrs and me-
;hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
Of the various silver
eagues, irrespective Of past party
in convention assembl-
ID, do set forth the following dec
aration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
Of silver and the free
md unlimited coinage thereof, at
he present ratio Of l6 to
Second. . are radically and
lnalterably opposed to the Nation
u Republican and Democratic par
les on the question Of the lee

he action Of their recent natl nal
as inimical to the ma
erial interests Of the people cs the
United States, and especially to
hose of Nevada and all the othor
aiming states and territories, and
re the refore repudiate the nomi-
ees Of their convention.
