ly adopted tn@ Al wing platorm:
Tue convention eIu>r5es and
adopts the platform OF the Repub-
ncas State Convention. held at Va
city on the 80 of April last. IA fol-
lows:
Resolved. That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the administration C.
President Harrison, insofar d. they
have failed TO ac Omplish the COM
Ilets remone ization OF silver, and
to ena,t laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage ek
that metal.
Resolved, That tie festOr stion
of silver to the place II o'cLpied
previous TO the passage o. 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 it's money
functions and denied to the owner
OF silver bullion the right to have
the same coined into money upon
the seme terms and conditions
which apply to the c',inage of gold.
reduced the money Of ultima te re-
demption or I.ayment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In
money TO monopoIize tho coin OF
the com mercial world.
Res yed, That the people OF
Nevada are ia faver 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 persen to Office whe
is not known to be unequivocally
i a favor Of opening the Minis 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-
Ia ton of silver, tEis convention
will make no nominations To- Pres
idential electors and the state Gem
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put ia nomination eies-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the viger Gus efforts Of our
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 bCndhoid-
ers and laborers and producers OF
| wealth
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and unImited coinage of sil-
yer at the preseht ratio OF is to l.,
for th6ir own benefit and for the
| peuoft of the peorle at large
| miners, farmers. laboIer5 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 dec
larstion of principles:
FL st. We demand the full re-
mon tizatisD of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio OF l6 TO
! Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed &c 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 inimieal to the ma
terial interests Of the people II the
United States, and especially to
those OF Nevada and all the other
miBing states and territorie-. and
we therefore repuiiate the norRt-
nees of their convention.
Third. We plodge the nominees
OF this convention for Presidential
electors t. support no -0a1 for
President or Vice-President OF the
United States who is not uneq Nv
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 Presl-
Dental electors for whom to cas-
their votes, should contingencies
require. GEO. S NIXON.
