THE SILVER PLATFORM.


The silver wing of the Rep4oH
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the u3wing p.~tiorm:
The con 7eEtion endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
l. cas- State Convention, held III 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 tho
free and unrestricted coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved. That the restoration
of silver to the place II 1'cLpled
previous TO the passage ol 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 it's rn9ne7
functions and denied TO the owner
Of silver bullion the right to Rave
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 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 10 oiHce 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 foE Pres
| idential electors and the State Gem
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 t'
secure the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver, and the educa cional
work that they have done in pre-
senting the true issue between the
money powers and The bondhold-
ers and laborers and producers OF

And we favor the contf- uat1on
of agitation and contention for the
free and uunmited coinage OF sill
