THE SILVER PLATFORM.

Inc silver wing OF Ulo R0puDu
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
Ilete 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 It o,cnpied
previous to the passage Oh the
Mint Act Of 1878, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver Of its n1o1ey
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 tha coin Of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people oi
Nevada are 10 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 unequfvocally
in favor 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 tho
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-
therity to put in nomination cleo
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the 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 tho bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
of agitation and contention for the
free and unlimited coinage Of ell
yer at the preseht ratio Of Is to l,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large
farmers, laboIcrs and me-
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
Iaration 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
II Republican and Democratic par
lies on the question of the free
coinage of silver and wo denounee
,he action of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
;erial interests Of the people Of the
United States, and especially to
hose OF Nevada and all the othor
mining states and territories, and
We therefore repudiate the nonai-
ices Of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
# this convention for Presidential
Electors tc support no nan Tor
resident or Vice-President Of the
United States who is not uneQ NV
'cally in favor Of free coinage al
Ieflned by this convention. We
eseave to the silver leagues OF
Jevada, iI Convention assembled,
he right Of directing said Presi-
ential electors for whom to cast
heir votes, should contingencies
equire. GEO. s NIXON,
