THE SILVER PLATFORM

The silver wing OF the hepuDH
can State Convention unanimous
Iy adopted the foEowing platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
1.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 RECOMMENDATION of silver, ape
to eoaat laws providing for tho
free and unrestricted coinage OK
that metal.
Resolved. That tie restoration
OF silver to the place it , 2"aApied
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 n0ney
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 oppo99d tc
elevating any person to office who
is not known to be unequivocally
in favor Of opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the Tree ana
unlimited coinage of silver.
In view of tho unsatisfactory at
tituda of President Harrison to the
| paramount issue Of the remonetl-
zation of silver, this convention
will make no nominations foI Pres
| idential electors and the state Cen
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
tkerity to put in nomination elec-
| tors
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts of our
Senators and Representatives tr
secure the free and unlimited cein-
age of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-.
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold'
ers end laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
of agitation and contention for the
free and unlimited coinage OF Sill
yer ct the preseht ratio oe Is to !,
for their own benefit ami for the
u~neGt Of the people al large =
miners, farmers. labo1cr8 and me
chanics.
The citizens Of Nevada. repre-
sentatives Of the various silver
leagues, irrespective OF past party
affiiatlons,i n convention assembl-
ed, do set forth the following dec
laratiOp OF principles:
F. st. We demand t, } full re-
mon ,izatian OF silver and the free

Second. We are ra'iically and
unalterably opposed tc the Hatio~
a. Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question of the tree
coinage of silver and we denounce
the action Of their recent national
conventions as inimical 10 the ma
terial interests Of the people q the
! United States, and especially to
those of Nevada and all the Other
mining states and territories, and
we therefore repuli&te the nom-
nees Of their convention
