THE SILVER PLATFORM.

can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the IL wing platform:
The cor ecEiion endcr5o5 and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
licas State Convention, held ut 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 o:
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to ac omplish the COM
rlete remone ization of silver, and
to ena,t 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 !
considerations. The Legislation
which robbed silver of its money
functions and denied to the omner
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 monopolize the coin OF
the CONNER cial 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 10 office who
is not known to be unequlvocally
in favor Of opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view of tn unsati- factory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, is convention
will make no nominations fol Pres
idential electors and the State Gem
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put ia nomination cleo

The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigo GUS efforts II our

age Of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-
senting the true ue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers OF
wealth
And we fav the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and uunmited coinage of sill
yer at the present ratio of 16 to l,
for their own benefit and tor the
benefit Of the peorle 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 assenbl-
| ed, do set rth the following dec
laration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
monetizatian of silver and the free
and Unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio Of I6 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 th-ir recent national
conventions as inimical to the ma
terial interests of the people cs the
United States, and especially to
those of Nevada and all the otho1
mining st tes and territories, and
we therefore repu1iate the nomi-
nees of their convention.
I Third. We rledge the nominees
OF this convention for Presidential
electors to support no ma1 for
President or Vlce-President Of the
United States who is not unequiv
ocally in favor of free coinage as
defined by this convention. We
reseave, to the silver leagues OF
Nevada, ir Convention rs emhlcd F.,
the right of directing said P,esi-
dential electors for BON TO cast
their votes, should contingencies
require GEO. S NIXON.
