THE SILVER PLATFORM.

l. uO Oh v "a "tiiso VI SiAS ~ 'o&~AA
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the foitoWins platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub.
,.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
rlete reconciliation of silver, and
to enact laws providing for ths
free and unrestricted Coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
OF silver to the place it o'anpied
previous to the passage Oh the
Mint Act OF 1878, 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 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 unequlvocally
in favor Of opening the AIiEts 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
iientiaI electors and the State Cen
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination cleo
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts 0f our
Senators and Representatives +,

age of silve-, and the edueay'onal
wor that they 1--we done in pre-
sentipy the tue is.ue between tho
