The silver wing of the Republi
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the 'oHowing 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 o.
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete RECOMMENDATION OF silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage or
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t o'cnpied
previous to the passage o. tho
Mint Act of 1878, is essential TO
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations The Legislation
W ich robbed silver Of its money
trnctions and denied to the owner

til. same coined into money upon
tho 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 tho coin OF
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people Oh
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 tc
elevating any person TO office whe
is not known to be unequivocally
ia favor Of opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
In view of tho 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.
trail Committee to be appointed by
|
therity to put in nomination eiec-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts Of eur
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 conten ton for the
free and unlimited coinage Of sdl-
yer at the present ratio OF Is to l.,
for their own benefit and for the
hc1eft Of the peorle at large
miners, farmers. labor IcrS 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 doc
laration of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
monetizatian Of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio of l6 to /.
. Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed tc the Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
) ties on the question Of the Tree
coinage Of silver and we denounce
the action of their recent national
. conventions as inimical to the ma
teriaI interests Of the people OF the
United States, and especially to
those OF Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, and
: we therefore repudiate the nomi-
nees of their convention.
, Third. We rledge the nominees
of this convention for Presidential
= electors ts support no "na1 for
President or Vice-PresidenL of the
United States who is not uneqniv-
ecally in favor of free coinage as
defined by this convention. We
reseave to the silver leagues of
Nevada, il Convention assembled, ,
the right of directing said Presi-
Dental electors for whom to cas-
their votes, should contingencies
require. GEO. S NIXON,
