THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The silver wing OF the RepGou
can State Convention unanimous
" adopted the foiloWing platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform Of the Rapub-
l-cas State Convention, held at Va
city on the 80 of April la5E, as fol-
lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the -ministration OF
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the com.
rIete reconciliation Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for tha
free and unrestricted coinage OK
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t , ;l'eApied
previous to the passage OF 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 it's m9neY
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to lave
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 Ia
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 coinage
CT gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person to Office who
is not known to be uDeQuivo2ally
IN favor Of opening the hiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver
In view Of the unsatisfactory at
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remonetl-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the state Cen
traI Committee to be appointed by
this Conventio 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 edua&Uonai
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 tbs
