can State ConventioE unanimous
" adopted the oA9wtng PLATFORM:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
l-cas 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 & ministration OF
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'eLpied
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 o. 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 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 VINO
is not known to be unequlvocally
in favor Of opening the MiIts 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 remoneh-
Zation Of silver, tbs convention
will make no nominations fOE Pres
ideatial electors and the state Cen
tral Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have 10 au-
thority to put in nomination elec|

The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts u ouI
