The CO. CCEti9u eas,..r5os and
adopts the platform OF Jne Eepub.
il-ca5 State Convention. held Va
city on the 80 OF April lass. as fol-
lows;
I Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican paICy Of the Eastern
states and the mini trat. 4 o.
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to &C :ompli5h the COM
| rlete RECOMMENDATION Of silver, apd
to enact laws providing for tha
free and unrestricted Coinage OK
that metal.
Resolved, That the festOratfon
Of silver to the place 1t el.pied
previous TO the passage Oh 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 Of gold,
reduced the mouey Of ultimate re.
demption or payment, abont one
half, and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable In
money to monopoiize 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 to
elevating any person to Office who
is not known to be unequivOcally
in favor Of opening the NIiLts 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 foE 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-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts Of our
Senators and Representatives te1
secure the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, and the educational
work that they have done in pre-.
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondholds
ers and laborers and producers Of
wealth.
And we favor the confirmation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer ct the present ratio OF 16 to /,
for their own benefit and for the
le1efit Of the peoule al large
farmers. lab0Ior3 and me
:hanics.
