THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing Of the BapU3lt
can State Conventio1 unanimous
ly adopted the fou1w!ng plattorm:
I The co79eEtion endorses md
adopts the platform OF the Repub-
l-cas State Convention. held ut 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
/ Elete reconciliation OF silver, and
to eoact laws providing for tho
! free and unrestricted Coinage OK
that metal.
Resolved, That the festoratIoh
of silver to the place It :, 'elpied
previous to the passage OF 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 owuer
Of silver bullion the right to nave
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage Of gold.
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demptfon or Payment, about one
half. and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In
money to monopolize tho ce'n 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 tc
elevating any person to Ctic0 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 tha unsatisfactory at
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, tois 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 te3
secure the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver, and the educational
work that they have done IN pre-
sen:ing the true issue between the
powers and the bcnunold-
ers and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor tn conttnCation
