THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing of the Republi
can State Convention unanimous
| ly adopted the f6nJwing PLATFORM:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
licas State Convention, held at 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 Of
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Ilete reconciliation 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 It occupied
previous to the passage Oh the
Mint Act Of 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paeamount to all other political l
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 coinage Of gold,
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demption or payment, about ons-
half, and enabled the owners Of
money and obligations payable Ia
money to monopolize tho 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 to
elevating any person to Office who
is not known to be unequivocalIy
in favor Of opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
In view Of the unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for 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 Of our
Senators and Representatives to
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
wealth.

The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
Of the various silver

Iffiliations, in convention ASSEMBLE
ID, do set forth the following dec
aration of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
nonetizatian of silver and the FREQ
nd unlimited coinage thereof, at

as inimical to the ma
arial interests Of the people Of the
United States, and especially to
nose Of Nevada and all the other
lining states and territories, and
e therefore repudfate the nomi-,
aes Of their convention.
Third. We Pledge the nominees

ectors to support no nan for
or Vice-PresidenL # the
nited States who is not unc4fl!v-
,ally in favor of free coinage as
efned by this convention. We
