THE SILVER PLATFORM

The silver wing Of the RepuoH
can State Conventio nalimous-
ly adopted the Follo~ing Pl~ttorm:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of rbe Repub-
l.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 ADMINISTRATION OK
President Harrison, insofar az they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete reconciliation Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for tha
free and unrestricted Coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place It , o'enpied
previous to the passage o. 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 the coin OF
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people o.
Nevada are in favor OF the coin
age of silver upon the same con-
diions which apply to the coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed to
elevaiing any perGen to once VINO
is not known to be unequivocally
in f.vor Of opening the MiLts OF
the United States 20 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 ncmina tions fol Pres-
idential electors and the State Gen.
tral 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 Of ouI
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 bondhoId-
ers and laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
of agitation and contention for tne
free and unimited coinage OF Sill
yer at the present ratio of IL to l,
for their own benefit and for the
pencft Of the people al large
miners, farmers. labo1ors and me
chanics.

sentatives Of the various silver

laratiop of principles:
Fl st. We denaDd t. } full re-

unalterably opposed tc the Natlor

the action Of their recent natlonai
conventions as inimioai 10 the ma
terial interests Of the people of the
: United States, and especially to
those of Nevada and all the Other
