ly adopted the Glowing platform:

licas State Convention, held at Va
city on the 80 OF April last, as fol-
lows;

Republican party of the Eastern
states and the administration oe
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Ilete 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 l
consid erations. The legislation
witch robbed silver of it's mo aey
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 oblis ations payable in
money to monopoize the coin Of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people OF
Nevada are iu favor Of the coin

ditions which apply to The coinage
