can State Convention unanimous

adopts the platform of the Repub-
Iicas State Convention, held at Va
city on the so 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 aco oomplish the COM
plete RECOMMENDATION Of silver, and
TO enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage or
that metal.
Resolved. That the festoration
Of silver to the place 1t , 9'cLpied
previous TO the passage u 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 mcney
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to lave
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the cpinage of gold,
reduced the money Of ultimate to re-
demptiOn or ayment, about one
half. and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In
money to monopoliZe tho 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 unequivocally
i n favor If opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of thN unsatisfactory at
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remonett-
zation of silver, this convention
will make no nominations foI Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination elec-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts 0f cur
Senators and Representatives ts
secure the free and unlimited coin-
- III oil
work that they have done in pre-
senting the true issue between the

And we favor thr continuation
of agitation and contention for the

ed, do set { rth the following dec
laration of principles:
F. st. We demand the full re-
mon tizati9n of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio OF Is TO
Second. We are radically and
unalteTably opposed tC the Nation
a Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question Of the REQ
coinage of silver and we denounce
the action of their recent national
conventions as inimical TO the ma
terial interests of the people - the
United States. and especially to
those OF Nevada and all the other
mining sites and territories, and
we therefore repuliate the nomi-
nees of their convention.
Third. We rloiCe the nominees
OF this convention lJr Presidential
electors t, support no "oa1 for
President or Vice-PresideIu cf the
United States who is not une2uiv-
ocally in favor of free coinage az

Dental electors for whom to cast
their votes, should contingencies
