THE SILVER PLATFORM.

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 enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage OF
, that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place it o'cnp:ed
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 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 ofgoid.
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 Oh
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 tc
elevating any person to Office who
! is not known to be uuequivocally
in favor Of opening the MTts 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 remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the state Cen
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination eIeo-
tors.
