THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing OF the kepuDH
can State Convention unanimous
/ " adopted the scn3Ning platform:
The convection 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 o.
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete remonetization 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 it occupied
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 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.
demption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable in
money to monopolize tLs 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 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 unsatisfactory at
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Gen.
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination cleo
tors.
The Convention 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 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 contt rtion for the
free and unlmited coinage of sill
yer at the present ratio Of 16 to /,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people at large
farmers, laboIors and me-
nhanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
sentatives of the various silver
leagues, irrespective Of past party
in convention assembl-
cd, do set forth the following dec
aration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
nonetizatian OF silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
.he present ratio Of l6 to l.
Second. We are radically and
lnalterably opposed to the Nation
Il Republican and Democratic par
les On the question df the jree
coinage Of silver and we denounce
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 Other
mining states and territories, aud
We therefore repuiiate the nomi-
ices Of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
+ this convention for Presidential
lectors to support no man for
resilient or Nlce-Pre7iden he
Jnited States who is not un "
cally in favor Of free coinage as
etined by this convention. We
