THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing OF the Repubu
can State Convention unanimous
| ly adopted the 'alowing platform:
| The convoItion 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 o.
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete reconciliation Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage Of
that metal.
Resolved, That tie restoration
of silver to the place 1t occupied
previous to the passage Oh the
Mint Act Of 1878, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other politica
considerations. 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 gold,
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demption or payment, 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 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 unequiyocally
in favor Of opening the MiLts Of
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In viea 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
identiaI q evtors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have 10 au-
thority to put il nomination cleo
tors.
The Cenrelftion cordially GU
Gorse5 tic vigorous efforts 7f our
Senators and Representatives t.
secure the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver, and the educational
work that they have dope in pre-
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold- .
ers and Iaborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
sree and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer at the preseht ratio Of Is to /,
or their own benefit and for the
benefit Of the people al large
farmers, labolers and me-
,hanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
,entatives of the various silver
eagues, irrespective Of past party
in convention assembl-
ID, do set forth the following dec
aration Of principles:
First. We demand the full re-
nonetizatian Of silver and the free
md unlimited coinage thereof, at
he present ratio of 16 to l.
Second. We are radically and
lnalterably opposed to the Nation
i Republican and Democratic par
les on the question Of the free
oinage Of silver and we denounee
he action Of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
erial interests Of the people Of the
United States, and especially to
hose of Nevada and all the othor
mining states and territories, and
re therefore repudiate the nomi-
ees Of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
this convention for Presidential
lectors to support no "ean for
resident or Vice-Presidehu of the
nited States who is not uneqniv-
cally in favor OF free coinage as
eined by this convention. We
eseave to the silver leagues OF
evada in COnvention assembled
le right Of directing said Plesi-
entail electors for whom to cast
leir votes, should contingencies
