The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
l-cas State Convention, held at Va

lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the g -mlnislIaCion OK
President Harrison. insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete RECOMMENDATION Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for tho
free and unrestricted coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved. That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t ''cnpied
previous to the passage o. the
Mint Act OF 1873, is essential to
the prosperity Of the county and
paramount to all other rotiticaI
consid The leg, alton
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 In
money to monopollze ths coin OF
the commercial world.
Resolved, That the people o.
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
eIevating any person to office who
is not known to be unequivocally
in favor of opening the MiLts 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 for Pres
idential electors and the State Gen.
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 7f oW
Senators and Representatives tS9
secure the free and unlimited coin-
age OF silver, and the educational
wor.A that they have done in pre-
senting the true issue between tho
money powers and the bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers OF
wealth.
And we favor the continuation
Of agitation and contention for the
free and unlimited coinage Of sil-
yer at tie present ratio Of 10 to !,
for their own benefit and for the
r.olefit Of the people al large :
miners, farmers. laboIcrs and me
chanicS.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
sentatives Of the various silver
leagues, irrespective OF past party
affiliations n convention assembl-
ed. do set forth The following dec
laration Of principles:
Fl st. We demand t, full re-
moa tizatian OF silver aud the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio Of l6 to
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed to the Natior
sl 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 inimioai to the ma
terial interests OF the people ofthe
United States, and especially to
those of Nevada and all the other
mining states and territories, and
we therefore repudiate the nom1~
nees of their cor vention.
