THE SILVER PLATFORM. /.


can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the Glowing platform:
II The Convention endcrses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
licas State Convention, held at Va
city on the 80 Of April last, asfol-
lows:
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the administration oe
President Harrison. insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete RECOMMENDATION 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 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 ia 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 unequivocalIy
in favor of opening the AliLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of tho unsati. factory at
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remoneti-
Zation Of silver, tt is convention
will make no nominations 70, Pres.
idential electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au.
thority to put in nomination elee-
tors
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigo GUS efforts If our
Senators and Representatives tn
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

And we faver the continuation
of agitation and contention for the
free and mited coinage of sill
yer at the present ratio of 16 to /,
for their own benefit and for the
benefit of the people at large
farmers, labolcrs and me-
chanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
sentatives Of the various silver
leagues irrespective of past party
in convention assembl-
ed, do set rth the following dec
laration Of principles
Fist. We demand the full re-
of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio of Is To l.
Second. We are radically and
opposed to the Nation
a. Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question Of the rec
coinage of silver and we denounce
,he action Of their recent natl nal
as inimical to the ma
-eral interests of the people cs the
United States, and especially to
hose of Nevada and all the othor
mining st tes and territories, and
We therefore repu diate the nomi-
ices of their convention.
Third. We rledge the nominees
)f this convention for Presidential
electors to support no man for
PRESIDENT or Vice-President of the
United States who is not uneqniv-
'cally in f.vor Of free coinage as
ietined by this convention. We
'eseave to the silver leagues Of
Nevada, il Convention assembled,
he right Of directing said Presi-
lential electors for whom to cast
heir votes, should contingencies
