THE SILVER PLATFORM


The silver wing Of the Bep~0h
can State Conventio', unanimous
ly adopted the Glowing platform:
The COZ vcGtion enuur5e5 and
adopts the platform OF the kepub-
i1-cas State Convention. held aJ Va
city on the so of April last, as fo!~
lows;
| Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of Ehe Eastern
states and the -ministratlon Of
President Harrison, insofar As they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete RECOMMENDATION Of silver, aDd
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage Of
that metal.
Resolved. That tie restoration
of silver to the place 1t .hpied
previous to the passage o. the
Mint Act OF 1873, is essential to
the prosperity of the country and
paramount to all other political
consid derat1ons. The legislation
which robbed silver Of its money
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to lave
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 monopoize tho 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 MiLts Of
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of tho 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
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination cleo
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
derses the vigorous efforts of our
Senators and Representatives trs
secure the free and unlimited COIN
age Of silver, and the educa .-onal
work that they have done in pre-.
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bCndhold-
ers and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor thu CONTINUATION
of agitation and contention for the
free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer at the present ratio Of lG to J.,
for their own benefit ami for the
ry.,"ft Of the people al large
miners, farmers. laboIers and me
chanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-.
santatives of the va.iouz silver
leagues, irrespective Of past party
afi.iatlons,i n convention assembl.
ed, do set forth he following dec.-
laratioD Of principles:
F. st. We demand t. ) full re-
mon tizati9n OF silver and the free
an,' unlimiGed coinage thereof, at
the present ratio Of Is to
Second. We are raGicalIy and
unalterably opposed tC the Aatio"
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question OF the rec
coinage of silver and we deGounce
the action OF their recent national
as inimiaal 10 the ma
terial interests of the people Il the
United states, and especially to
those of Nevada and all the other
mining ST tes and territories, and
we therefore repuiiate the nom-
nees Of their convention.
