THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing of the Repubu
can State Convention unanimous.
ly adopted the following platforms
= 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 coupled
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 nWney
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
hall, and enabled the owners Of
money and obligations payable la
money to monopolize the 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
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 Pres
idential electors and the State Gem
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination elec-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-.
dorses the vigorous efforts of our
Senators and Representatives to
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

hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
entatives Of the various silver

d, do set forth the following dec
lration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
lonetizatian Of silver and the free

Second. We are radically and
opposed to tho Nation
Republican and Democratic par
es on the question Of the free
image Of silver and we denounce
le action of their recent national
inventions as inimioal to the ma
rial Interests Of the people Of the
n1ted States, and especially to
ose Of Nevada and all the othor
ining states and territories, and
. therefore repudiate the nomi-
es Of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees

ectors to support no nan for

ally in favor of free coinage as
