The silver wing Of the Repoou
can State Conventi01 unanimous
ly adopted the following platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
cas- State Convention, held 1T Va
city on the 80 Of April last. a5 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 reconciliation Of silver, and
| to enact laws providing for ths
| free and unrestricted coinage OK
, that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place it : 1anpied
previous to the passage o. the
Mint Act of 1873, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other politicaS
considerations. The Legislation
| which robbed silver Of it's n9ney
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 tho coin OF
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people Oh
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 unoqulyoeally
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 Gen.
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 oul
Senators and Representatives t9
secure the free and unlimited COIN
