THE SILVER PLATFORM.


can State Convention un4njmou5-
ly adopted the foloElas platform:
The coleoatlon el,sot5a5 and
adopts the platform Of the Kopuo'
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 administration o.
President Harrison, Insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the com.
rlete reconciliation Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for ths
free and unrestricted Coinage OK
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t 2'aapied
previous to the passage o. 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 mouey 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 to
elevating any person to office who
is not known to be unequlvocally
in favor of opening the Mihts 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 remoneH-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Gen.
trail 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 om
Senators and Representatives. t..
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 bondhold@
ers and laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
of agitation and contention for tha
free and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer at the present ratio Of l6 to /,
for their own benefit AMI for the
pei.eit Of the people al large
miners, farmers. laboIer5 and me-
chanics.
The citizens Of Nevada. repre-
sentatiyes Of the various silver
leagues, irrespectiv" OF past party
affi,iations,i convention assembl-
ed. do set forth she following dec
laration Of principles:
Fis We demand t,3 fuH re-
mon tizatian Of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio OF l6 to
! Second. We are ra Ideally and
unalterably opposed tc the Natio'
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question OF the tree
coinage of silver and we denounce
the action Of their recent national
conventions as inimieal TO the ma
terial interests Of the people q the
United States, and especially to
those of Nevada and all the other
mining st ties and territories, aid
we therefore repuIiate tho nons-
nees of their convention.
