THE SILVER PLATFORM

The silver wing Of the BeP-oH
can State COnventioI unan nous
ly adopted the 'JH5wjng g!atform:
! The co0VeEtion endorses and
adopts the platform Of the EePub-
i1-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 Z m,ni-tration o.
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete reconciliation Of silver, aDd
to enact laws providing for tho
free and unrestricted coinage OF
: that metal.
Resolved, That tie restoration
OF silver to the place 1t } Died
previous to the passage ol 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 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 coipage
Of gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person to o1ic9 who
is not known to be uaequiVocally
in favor of opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage CT 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 elec-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts Of ou1
Senators and Representatives to
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 and laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
OF agitation and contention for the
free and uni mited coinage Of sill

for their own benefit and for the
ueuefit Of the people at large
