THE SILVER PLATFORM

The silver wing Of the Rep.oli
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the following 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 z g-ministration OF
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete reconciliation Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for tha
free and unrestricted coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place It > coupled
previous to the passage Q. 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 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 Ia
money to monopolize the coin OF
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people OK
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 to
eleyating any person to office who
is not known to be unequivocally
in favor Of opening the MiEts 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
tral Committee to be appointed BY
this Convention shall have no au-
thority to put in nomination cleo
tors
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts Of our
Senators and Representatives t3
secure the free and unlimited COIN
age Of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-
senting the true issue between tho
money powers and the bondholde
ers and laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention Tor thA
free and unlimited coinage OF sil-
yer It the present ratio OF IL to l,
for their own benefit and for the
t,-1 edt Of the people al large :
miners, farmers. laboler6 and me
