The silver wing Of the Bep.oli
can State Convent tioa unanimous
ly adopted the ')H3wtng platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Rapub-
Lcas State Convention. held ~ Va
city on the 80 of April last, a.s fol.
lows:
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the Z mini-tration 0:
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the CON-
Ilete reconciliation Of silver, and
to ensct laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
OF silver to the place it ''chpied
previous TO the passage ol 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 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 ultima te re-
demption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In
money to monopo.ize 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 1icb apply to the coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed tc
elevating any person 10 office who
is not known to be uneqrivocally
in favor Cf opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
In view Of tn" unsatisfactory at.
titude of President Harrison TO the
paramount issue OF the remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations foE Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
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 0f ouy
Senators and Representatives tn
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 laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor tn" confirmation
of agitation and contention for tho
free and unhmited coinage Of sill
yer at the present ratio Of 16 to /,
for their own benefit ami for the
