THE SILVER PLATFORM

The silver wing Of the RapubH
can State Convention unanimous
ly adopted the ouowing platform:
The convention endorses and
adopts the platform Of the Repub-
l-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 o.
President Harrison, insofar as they
have failed to accomplish the COM
Elete RECOMMENDATION OF silver, and
to enact laws providing for the
free and unrestricted coiuaga OF
, that metal.
Resolved. That tie restoration
of silver to the place 1t ~-lpied
previous 20 the passage OF 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 ncney
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 Ia
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 tc
elevating any person to Office who
is not known to be unequivocally
in favor Of opening the NiEts 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, tnis convention
will make no nomination for Pres
idential electors and the State Gen.
trail Committee to be appointed by
this Convention shall have no au-
therity to put in nomination cleo
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 the
money powers and the bCndhold-
ers and laborers and producers OF
wealth
And we favor the continuation
of agitation and contention for the
free and'unlimited coinage Of sill
yer at the present ratio uf Is to /,
for their own benefit AMI for the
u2oetit Of the people at large
miners, farmers. labOIoT and me
chanics.
The citizens of Nevada, repre-
sentatives Of the yarious silver
leagues, irrespective OF past party
n convention essembl-
ed, do set forth he following dec
laratiop of principles:
Fl st. We demand t. } full re-
mon tizatian Of silver and the free
and unlimiced coinage thereof, at
the present ratio of Is to
Second. We are ra IDEALLY and
unalterably opposed tC tho Nation
al Republican and Democratic par
ties on the question OF the tree
coinage of silver and we deGoGnce
the action Of their recent national
as inimi3al to The ma
terial interests Of the people 81 the
United States, and especially to
hose of Nevada and al the othor
mining states and territories, aud
We therefore repudiate the nomj
lees of their convention.
Thirc. We pledge the nominees
ii this convention for Presidential
electors t. support no -'a1 for
President or Vice-Prasiders { the
United States who is not uneSni2-
,cally in favor Of free coinage as
