The silver wing Of the Repu.oll
can State ConventioE unanimous
ly adopted the foii)wing platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
a. 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 OK
! President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Ilete reconciliation Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage OF
! that metal.
Resolved, That the restoratioK
OF silver to the place ii 'Anpied
previous to the passage Ga 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 uloney
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to lave
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage ofGold.
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 toe 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 unequtVocaliy
in favor of opening the Minis 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 remonetf-
zation of silver, tits 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 elec-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts II on!

work that they have done in pre-
senting the true issue between the
