" adopted tHa ~ wing platform:
The co" ooGtion enuvr5a5 and
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
cas- State Convention. held at Va
city on the 30 of April lasl, as tol-
lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the z -miniStrAtion OK
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Ilete RECOMMENDATION of silver, aDd
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage OK
that metal.
Resolved. That the restoration
Of silver 10 the place Ii 2'sLpled
previous TO the passage ol 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 monopoIize tho coin OF
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people Oh
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 unequiyocally
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-
zation of silver, this convention
will make no nominations fol- 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 9f our
Senators and Representatives t7
secure the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver, and the educational
work that they have done il pre-
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers OF
wealth
And we favor the confirmation
of agitation and contention for the
free and uulmited cotn4ge OF sill
yer ct the present ratio Of 10 to l,
for their own benefit ami for the
t.z.efit of the people at large =
