The silver wing Of the Rep ubli
can State Conventio. 9aauimous-
ly adopted the SLOWING Lal orm:
| The convention enaorees 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 accomplish the COM
rlete reconciliation of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage OK
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t > 'anpied
previous TO the passage u the
Hint 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 ncney
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 monopolize tho coin Of
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people Oh
Nevada are ia 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 tho unsatisfactory at
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation of silver, this convention
will make no nominations fos Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convent tion 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 II pre-
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bCndhold-
ers and laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and uDnmited coinage Of sill
yer at the present ratio Of Is to !,
for their own benefit and for the
ueneft Of the people al large

Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed tC the Na5io'-
al Republican and Democra tic par
ties on the question OF the REQ
coinage of silver and We denouace
the action Of their recent national
conventions as inilnioal TO the ma
terial interests Of the people q the
United States, and especially to
those Of Nevada and all the other
states and territ ories, and
we therefore repuiiate the nomi
nees of their convention.
