The silver wing of the Ral.-oI
can State ConyenU3 uuaH1mous-
ly adopted the blowing piaciorm:
The cor 0GECion eu.torac3 and
adopts the platform OF the Repub-
cas- State ConvAn,i0n, held aJ Va
city on the 80 of April last. Is fol-
lows:
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of The Eastern
states and the s1--tratton o.
President Harrison .Aaofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rIete RECOMMENDATION Of silver, aDd
to enact laws providing for the
( free and unrestricted Coinage OK
that metal.
Resolved. That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t , 'oApied
! previous TO the passage o. 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 lleney
functions and denied 30 the owner
Of silver bullion the right to nave
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the image gold.
reduced the Doney Of ultimate re-
demption or rryment, about one
half, and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable In
money to monopOIize tho coin OF
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people OF
Nevada are IN favor OF the com
age Of silver upon the same con-
ditfons which apply to he coinage
Of gold, and they are OPPOSED tc
elevating any person 10 office VINO
is not known to he uueQulvocally
in favor Of opening the bilLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
Ia view Of tn" unsatisfactory at
titude of President Harrison 10 the
paramount issue Of the remoneu-
Zation Of silver, tbs convention
will make no ncinila tiOns 10. Pres
identiak electors and the State Cen
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination eiec~
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts II ou1
Senators and Representatives t3
secure the free and unlimited COIN
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 and Iaborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor TIL continuation
Of agitation AMI conteution for the
free and unhnited coinage OF Sill

uauatit of the peosle al large =
