ly adopted the soI3T ly pia 'orm:
The convention entoioei aud
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
J ,.cas State Convention, he'll 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 e -ninistra5ion OF
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete remonetization Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for ths
free and unrestricted Coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place II .upied
previous to the passage o. the
Mint Act OF 1878, a essential to
the prosperity OF the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations. TIE 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 ofgold,
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demptton or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable Ia
money to monopolize 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 which apply to the coinage
OF gold, and they are opposed to
elevatiEg any person to Office who
is not known to be unequlvocally
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 remoneti-
zatien 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 e,e>
tors.
The Convention cordially en-.
dorses the vigorous efforts of ouI
Senators and Representatives to
secure the free and unlimited COIN
age Of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-
,enting the true issue between tho
money powers and the bondhold~
rs and laberers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
+ agitation and contention for the
rec and unlimited coinage OF sil-
'er at the present ratio Of Is TO /,

euetit Of the people at large
miners, farmers. laboiers and me
hanics.
