THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing Of the Repuo
can State Conventiol unanimous
ly adopted the 'oh3wing platform:
The conveLtion endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
,.cas 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 Sministration 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 7 snpied
previous TO the passage % 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 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 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 uneQuivocally
in favor Of opening the MiLts 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 remonet1-
zatien Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
! identiaI electors and the State Cen
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au.
thority to put in nomination cleo
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts of oW
Senators and Representatives t'
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 end laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for ths
free and unlimited coinage OF sll-
yer at the present ratio Of l6 to !,
for their own benefit and for the
peuedt Of the peorle at large :
miners, farmers. labolor5 and me
chanics.

sentatives Of the various silver
leagues, irrespective Of past party
affiliations n convention assembl.

laration of principles;
Fl st. We demand t, full re-
mon +izatian Of silver and the free
