Inc silver wing or the hGpuD1
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the following platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
licas 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 reconciliation Of silver, and
to eOact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t a'cupied
previous TO the passage o. 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 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 tho coin Of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people OF
Nevada are ln 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 10 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 the unsatisfactory at
titude Of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remonetl.
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Gen.
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 ou1
Senators and Representatives t.,
secure the free and unlimited COIN
age Of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-
5enting the true issue between the
powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers OF
wealth
