The Convention endorses and
adopts the platform of the Repub-
,-cas State Convention, held at Va
city on the 80 Of April last, t.5 fol.
lows;
Resolved, That we condemn the
Republican party of the Eastern
states and the ADMINISTRATION Q!
President Harrison, insofar a5 they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete reconciliation 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 oecuoied
previous TO the passage ol 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 meney
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 OF
Nevada are in favor OF the coin
age Of silver upon the same con-
ditions which apply to the cG:9age
Of gold, and they are oppo4ed tc
elevating any person TO ot.ca who
is not known to be unequivocally
in favor Of opening the GIiLts Of
the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
In view Of th" unsatisfactory at.
titude of President Harrison to the
paramount issue Of the remoneti-
Zation of silver, this convention
will make no nominations f0I 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-
