Twelfth Appointment of a County
Central Committee.
c. w. Day, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Platform and Resolutions, pre-
sented the following, which were unani-
mously adopted
The Republicans of Trinity County, in
Convention assembled, hereby adopt the
following platform
1st. We hold the Rnpublican party to
consist OF all persons who favor the equal
political, and civil rights of every Amer
lean citizen free and universal educa-
ton, and elevation Of the whole :Ameri-
can people socially and morally. That
it is now, as it has always been, compos-
ed Of the best and purest political senti-
ment Of the country {; and we now renew
declare our belief that it is only through
the Republican organization that all need
ed political reforms are TO be obtained.
I'd. We heartily applaud the active
measures of the late Congress in ferret
ing out and exposing corruption. and EN-
phatically denounce the Credit Mobiier
transactions and the " Back pay steal"
Sd. We fully realize the necessity of
railroads, and that they are indispensable
to the development and prosperity of the
country; but we believe. nevertheless,
that they are subject to legislative re
striction, as well as legislative protection;
and we therefore declare that it is the du-
ty of the legislature to examine carefully
into their condition, rules and regua-
tions, and pass such laws upon the sub
ject OF fares, freghts, and the rights of
the travelling public, as shall be Just to
the people, and hold the railroad compa-
nies to strict accountability under the
laws.
4th. We declare against any further
gifts or grants of the public lands to cor
poratons for any purpose whatever, and
hold that the public domain should be
reserved for actual settlers under the
Homestead and Presumption Laws.
5th. We demand the reduction of tax
alton to the lowest figure consistent with
the efficient working Of the State and To-
cal governments.
9th. We declare the continued immi-
grafton of Chinese into California to be
an evil which ought to be abated in any
/ legal manner within the power of the
! government.
