can State ConveDtio1 unanimous
ly adopted the fouowing platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
l-cas State Conven ion, held ut 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 ministration OF
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete remonetization OF silver, aDd
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinaga Of
that metal.
Resolved. That tie restoration
of silver to the place 1t :, cnpied
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 ofgold.
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demption or Payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners of
money and obligations payable In
money to menopoiize 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 th" 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
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 our
Senators and Representatives ts'
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 uuilmited coinage Of sil-
yer at the present ratio Of Is to !,
for their own benefit and for tho
Of the peosle at large
farmers. laboIors and me
,hanics.
