THE SILVER PLATFORM

The silver wing of the RepuJh
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the GLOWING platform:
The vcEtion endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
,.cas State Convention, held ut Va
city on the 80 Of April last, as fol.
lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party Of the Eastern
states and the ministratIon OF
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete RECOMMENDATION of silver, aDd
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted Coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved, That tie restoration
of silver to the place It .s'eLpied
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 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 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 tc
elevating 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
identiaI 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 oW
Senators and Representatives tn
secure the free and unlimited COIN
age Of silver, and the education
work that they have done in pre-.
senting the true issue between the
money powers and the bondhold-
ers end laborers and producers OF
wealth
And we favor the cont1nration
Of agitation and contention for thu
free and unIlmited coinage OF sl-
yer at the present ratio Of l6 to l,
for their own benefit aud for tho
peilefit Of the people Il, large
miners, farmers. laboIcrs and me
chanics.
The citizens Of Nevada, repre-
sentatives Of the various silver
leagues, irrespective Of past party
affi,iatlons,i a convention assembl-
ed, do set forth she following dec
laration Of principles:
Fl st. We demand +, } full re-
mon tizatian Of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio of Is to

unalterably opposed tc the Nation

the action Of their recent national
conventions as inimieai 10 the ma
terial interests Of the people II the
United States, and especially to
those of Nevada and all the othor
mining states and terrLt9ries, and

nees Of their convention.
