THE SILVER PLATFORM .

The silver wing Of the Republi
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the Glowing 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 oe
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Flete 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 1t 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 tho owner
OF silver bullion the right to have
the same coined into money upon
tho 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 tho 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
eievating 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
coinage Of silver.
In view of tho unsatisfactory at
titude of President Harrison to the
issue of the remoneti.
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
dential electors and the State Cen
5ral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au.
5hority to put in nomination elec-
.ors.
The Convention cordially en-
iorses the vigorous efforts Of our
Senator's and Representatives te
secure the free and unlimited coin.
lge OF silver, and the educational
york that they have done in pre-
enting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
rs and laborers and producers Of
