THE SILVER PLATFORM.

Inc silver wing OF the Repubu
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
Elete 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 p,cnpied
previous to the passage Oh the
Mint Act of 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paRamount to all other political
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver Of its mDney
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 tlo coin ef
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 Mikts 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 remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pros
dental electors and the State Cen.
sral Committee to be appointed ~
his Convention shall have no an.
,hority to put in nomination elec-
-ors.
The Convention cordially an.
1OrseS the vigorous efforts Of our
Senators and Representatives to

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
7ealth.
And we favor the continuation
f agitation and contention for the
zee and unlimited coinage Of sill

lanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
Of the various silver

inventions as inimical to the ma
