THE SILVER PLATFORM

Lie SILVER WHY ol Iue hGpuOu
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the following platform:
The convection endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
licas 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 o.
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to tQae.ssGsnplish the COM
Ilete RECOMMENDATION 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 1t occupied
previous to the passage OF 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 it's 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 10
money to monopolize the 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
elevating any person to office who
is not known to be unequivocalIy
in favor of opening the MiEts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view of thu unsatisfactory at
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
electors and the State Gen.
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 our
Senators and Representatives tn
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
powers and the bondhold-
ars and laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
If agitation and contention for the
rec and unlimited coinage of sill
7er at the present ratio of Is to l,
or their own benefit and for the
)euefit Of the people at large
miners, farmers. laboIors and me
hanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
Of the various silver
eagues, irrespective OF past party
.ffiiations,i convention assembl-
d, do set forth the following dec
aratioD Of principles:
Fl st. We demand t. full re-
1on tizatian of silver and the free
nd unlimited coinage thereof, at
he present ratio Of Is to
Second. We are radically and
nalterably opposed tC the Nation
/ Republican and Democratic par
les on the question Of the iree
oinage of silver and we denounce
he action of their recent national
as inimical to the ma
erial interests Of the people # the
Tnited States, and especially to
nose of Nevada and all the other
lining states and territories, and
e therefore repuiiate the nomi-
ees of their convention.
Third. We pledge the nominees
this convention for Presidential
ectors t. support no "}a1 for
resident or Vice-Presiden Cf the
nited States who is not unequiv-
,ally in favor of free coinage as
ained by this convention. We
,seave to the silver leagues OF
evada, il Convention assembled,
lie right Of directing said Presi-
entail electors for whom to cast
leir votes, should contingencies
