THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing of the Repubn
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the following 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 Of
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 1t > o,cnpied
previous to the passage Oh the
Mint Act Of 1873, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paeameunt 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 OF payment, about one
half, and enabled tie 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
elevating any person to Office who
is not known to be unequivocally
in favor of opening the MiEts Of
the United States to the free and
coinage Of silver.
In view Of the unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the !
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Gen.
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
bhority to put in nomination elec-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts Of our
Senator's and Representatives to
secure the free and unlimited COIN
lge of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-.
'enting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
rs and laborers and producers of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
f agitation and contention for the
rec and unlimited coinage Of sill
er at the present ratio Of Is to /,
Or their own benefit and for the
enefit Of the people at large
liners, farmers, laboIers and me-
hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
entatives Of the various silver
,agues, irrespective of past party
in convention assembl-
d, do set forth the following dec
ration of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
Of silver and the free
nd unlimited coinage thereof, at
le present ratio of 16 to l.
Second. We are radically and
nalterably opposed to the Nation
Republican and Democratic par
es on the question of the free
image Of silver and we denounce
le action Of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
rial interests Of the people Of the
n1ted States, and especially to-
ose Of Nevada and all the othor
ming states and territories, and
, therefore repudiate the nomi-
es of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
this convention for Presidential
ectors to support no nan for
esident or Vice-Presideht of the
lited States who is not untqllv-
ally in favor Of free coinage as
fined by this convention. We
seave to the silver leagues OF
,vada, il Convention assembled,
2 right OF directing said Plcsi-
ntial electors for whom to cast
cir votes, should contingencies
luire. GEO. s NIXON,
