can State Convention unanimous
| ly adopted the following platform
| The convection endorses and
adopts the platform OF the Repub
licas State Convention, held at We
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
| rlete reconciliation 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 occupied
previous to the passage Oh the
Mint Act Of 1878, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other politica
consid The legislation
which robbed silver Of it's 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 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 tbs 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 unequivocally
in favor Of opening the MiHts 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 remonetl.
zation OF silver, this conventio1
will make no nominations for Pres.
idential electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thorlty to put in nomination elec-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts 9f our
Senators and Representatives t7
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 aad producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
If agitation and contention for the
rec and unlimited coinage of sil.
yer at the present ratio Of Is to /,

benefit Of the people at large
