can State Conventio,, unanimous
| ly adopted the sd3wing platform:
| The eeEtion endorses and
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
licas State Convention, held ut Va
citv on the 80 Of April last. as fol-
lows;
| Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the admin -tration o:
President Harrison. insofar as they
have failed to ac omplish the COM
Elete remone ization 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 occupied
previous to the passage OF the
Mint Act of 1878, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
| paramount to all other politica !
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 c image Of gold,
reduced the money Of ultimate re.
demption or rayment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In
money to monopoize 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 he coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed tc
elevating any person 10 office who
is not known to be uneqnlyocally
in favor Of opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of the unsati- factory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remoneti-
zation OF silver, tt is convention
will make no nominations fo' Pres
idential electors md the State Cen
trail 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 II 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 is ue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and Iaborers and producers OF
wealth
And we favar the continuation
of agitation and contention for the
fee and ulnmited coinage of sill
yer at the preseLt ratio Of 16 to /,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit of the people at large
miners, farmers, labolers 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 rth the following dec
laration of principles:
Fist. We demand the full re-
monetizatian of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio Of l6 to |.
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed to the Nation
a. Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question OF the rec
coinage Of silver and we denounce
the action Of thsir recent national
conventions as inimiciIl TO the ma
teral interests of the people cs the
United states and especially to
those of Nevada and all the other
mining st tps and territories, aud
we therefore repu1iate the nomt-
nees of their convention.
/ Third. We rledge the nominees
OF this convention for Presidential
electors TO support no man for
President or Vice-Presiden of the
United States who is not nnequiy
ocally in fnvor of free coinage as
dehued by this convention. We
reseave to the silver leagues OF
| Nevada, ii. Convention as emble5,
the right of directing said Prcsi-
Dental electors for thom to cast
their votes, should CONTINGENCIES
