THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing Of the Republi
can State Convention unanimous
/ ly adopted the following platform:
The convection 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
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 it o>enpied
previous to the passage OF the
Mint Act of 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paHamount to all other political
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver Of it's m0ney
functions and denied TO the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the same coined into money upoA
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage of 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 arc 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 unequivocally
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 Gem
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 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
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and unimited colAage OF sill
yer at the present ratio Of 16 to 1,
FOR their own benefit aad for the
benefit of the peopla at large
