THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing Of the Republi
can State Conventioa unanimous
ly adopted the II wing platform:
The ccs 7c1tion ehaorsos and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
licas State Convention, held at Va
citv on the 80 of April last, as fol-
lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Ct the Eastern
states and the administrator O:
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to ac omplish the COM
Ilete 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 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political
consid erations. The legislation
which robbed silver of its 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 image of gold,
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demption or Iayment, about one
half. and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In
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 tc
elevating any person TO Office who
is not known to be unequivocally
in favor of opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited cpinage of silver.
In view of th~ unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation of silver, t. is convention
will make no nominations fot Pres.

tral Committee to be appointed by
