The cor coEtion endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-

lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the g-mini tration o:
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete RECOMMENDATION of silver, aDd
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
Of silver to the place 1t 2'e:4pied ,
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 mgney
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 monopoiize LL3 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 She coinage
Of gold, and they are opposed to
elevating any person to Office who
is not known to be unequlvocalIy
in favor Of opening the MiLts 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 remoneti-
zation Of silver, tnis convention
will make no nominations TO- 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-

The Convention cordially en-
