THE SILVER PLATFORM

AO "tEh vi
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the slowing platform:
The cor VoEtion 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 RECOMMENDATION Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage ek
! that metal.
Resolved. That the restoration
| of silver to the place 1t ,aLpied
previous TO the passage o. the
Mint Act OF 1878, Is essential TO
the prosperity OF the country and
paramount to all other political
consid derations. The legislauon
which robbed silver Of it's money
functions and denied TO the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the same coined int money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the Coinage of gold.
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
denption or payment, about ono
half. and enabled the owners Of
money and obligations payable IN
money TO monopoIize tho coin ef
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people ot
Nevada are in favor Of the COIN
age of silver upon the same COR
ditions which apply to the coinage
of gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person to office whe
is not known to be unequivocally
in faver of opening the MiLts OF
the UDited States to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
Ia view of th~ unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
Paramount issue of the remonetl-
Ia ton OF silver, ii is convention
will make no nominations fol Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
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 vigo, GUS Efforts IF cur
Senators and Representatives IT,
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 contention for the
free and unnmited coinage of sfl-
yer at the preseht ratie OF 16 to /,
for their own benefit and for the
--eEslt Of the people AT large
farmers. IaboIers and me-
;hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
sentatives OF the various silver
leagues, irrespective OF past party
in convention assenN-
I'd, do set forth the following dec
aration of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
Of silver and the frea
md unlimited coinage thereof, at
.se present ratio of Is to l
Second. We are radically and
lnalterably opposed tc the Nation
. Republican and Democratic par
les on the question OF the FREQ
coinage of silver and We denouRcs
he action of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
'erial interests of the people nf the
United States. and especially TO
hose OF Nevada and all the othor
mining states and territories, and
We therefore repu1 1iate the nomf-
lees OF their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
of this convention for Presidential
electors t. support no ~Ra1 for
President or Vice-PrcsidenD of the
] Jnited States who is not unequIv-
,cally in favor OF free coinage as
defined by this convention. We
'eseave to the silver leagues of
Nevada, il Convention assembled,
he right OF directing said Presi-
ieRtial electors for whom to cast
heir votes, should contingencies
'eqsire. GEO. S NIXON,
