Inc silver wing Ol Iu6 kGpu0t
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the following platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
,,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 -ministration OF
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
rlete reconciliation Of silver, and
to enact laws providing for tho
free and unrestricted coinage or
that metal.
Resolved, That the restoration
of silver to the place 1t a'cupied
previous to the passage Oh the
Mint Act of 1878, is essential to
the prosperity Of the country and
paramount to all other political
considerations. The legIsIatios
which robbed silver Of its money
functions and denied TO the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the sa me 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 til, 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 Of opening the MiLts 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 remoneu.
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 elec-
tors.
The Convention cordially en-
dorses the vigorous efforts of our
Senators and Representatives tn
secure the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver, and the educational
work 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 thA
free and unlimited coinage OF sil-
yer at the present ratio Of 16 to /,
for their own benefit and tor the
ueueft Of the people at large :
miners, farmers. laboIers and me
chanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
sentatives of the yarious silver
leagues, irrespective Of past party
affiiiations,i n convention assembl.
ed, do set forth the following dec.
laratioD Of principles:
Fl st. We demand t. full re-
mon tizatian of silver and the free
and unlimited coinage thereof, at
the present ratio OF l6 to l
Second. We are radically and
unalterably opposed tc the Natio"
al 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 inimical to the ma
terial interests Of the people OF the
United States, and especially to
those of Nevada and all the othcr
mining st4tes and territories, and
we therefore repu iiate the nomt-
nees Of their convention.
Thirt'. We rle'lSe the nominees
OF this convention for Presidential
electors t. 'uoport no nan for
President or Vce-Presidena It the
United States who is not uneG'iiv-
ocally in favor Of free coinage az
