The silver wing of the Repubn
can State Conventioa unanimous
ly adopted the Glowing platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
ll-cas 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
rlete remonetization OF silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved. That tie restoration
Of silver 20 the place 1t 3,aupied
previous TO the passage o. 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 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 one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In
money to monopoliZe the 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 uneQuivocally
in favor of opening the MiEts 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 IF our

secure he fee and unlimited COIN
age OF silver, and the educational
work thu they have done in pre-
sentipg TIE true issue between the
