THE SILVER PLATFORM

The silver wing Of the Reps.oll
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the GLOWING PLATFORM:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
cas- State Convention. held at Va
city on the 80 of April last, a. 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
Elete reconciliation Of silver, aDa
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage OF
, that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place it 2"lpied
previous TO the passage u 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 m3ney
| 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 monopolizo the coin Of
the commercial world,
Resolved, That the people OF
Nevada are in favor Of the coin
age of silver upon toe 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 unequivocally
in favor Of opening the AIiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
In view of tho unsatisfactory at
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue OF the remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
identiaI electors anu the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have 10 au-
thority to put in nomination elec-
IItors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts 9f our
