L

" adopted the fouowing platform.
The convention endorses ana
adopts the platform of the Kepuo'
licas State Convention, held ut Va
citv on the 80 of April last, as fol-
lows; 49,
Resolved. That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the administration o.
President Harrison, insofar as 1ney
have failed to accomplish the com,
rIete reconciliation Of silver, ana
10 enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage OK
that metal.
Resolved, That tie restoration
Of silver to the place 1t o'cnp.tI
prcvtous to the passage o. the
Mint Act Of 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country ano
paramount to all other political
considerations. The legislation
which robbed silver Of it's 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 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 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 MlLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of the unsatisfactory at
tit,1de of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations foE Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
= tral Committee to be appointed oy
this Convention shall have no au-
:; thority to put in nomination ele'-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
7 dorses the vigorous efforts Of oul
Senators and Representatives T.
secure the free and unlimited coln'
age of silver, and the educatlona-
!. work that they have done in Pre-
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhoiu
ers and laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
Of aojtation and contention for tn
free and unlimited coinage OF sli
yer at the present ratio OF 10 TO /
for their own benefit and for III
peuafit of the people at large
r,ineIs, farmers. laboIers and me-
ALIalics.

~ sentatives of the various sl'e

the action of their recent nation
