can State Conyentioa unanimous
| ly adopted the '3a0wing piaJform:
The convention endorse 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 administration O:
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Ilete RECOMMENDATION OF silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage OF
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place it , eLpied
previous to the passage o. 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 meney
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to nave
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 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 unequivocally
in favor cf opening the MiLts OF
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of tn" unsatisfactory at
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue OF the renoneti-
zation Of silver, this convention
will make no nominations for Pres
idential electors and the State Cen
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 9f our
Senators and Representatives to
secure the free and unlimited COIN
age Of silver, and the educatlonal
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 tho
free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer at the present ratio Of 16 to /,
for their own benefit and for the
paratit Of the people III large
miners, farmers. laboIers and me
