Republican state Platform.
The Union Republican party of Nevada, in
Convention assembled, renewing its pledges of
devotion to the Constitution and laws Of the
Federal Government, hereby announces its
platform to the people as follows:
Resolved, First, that we reaffirm the princi-
pies and policy Of the Republican party as enun-
ciated by its last National Convention; that we
are proud of its history and great services, and
we especially commend the vigor and force by
which it maintained the Union, abolished
slavery, and secured equal civil and political
rights to all citizens. We demand that these
rights beeenforced by appropriate legislation, SO
that all citizens shall have the equal enjoyment
of their rights. We demand of our public
agents fidelity to their principles; the honest
execution Of the pledges made to the public;
purity, integrity and economy in the discharge
of their official duties, and the prompt and fear
less examination and punishment of those who
violate any OF their ODllRAtOnb.
Second-That we hereby endorse the last
Republican Congress in repeating the law in
creasing official salaries; in reducing expense"
by more than $4,000, 90; in successfully re-
sisting all jobs; in abolishing the extravagant
Government Of the District of Columbia, and in
reforming abuses generally, whereby the Repnb.
lican party has proved itself to be worthy of
continued support of the people.
Third-That we earnestly desire that the
credit of the country be firmly maintained, in
nj ap1 nd etr ri init

values, or by impairing the degree Of confidence
which now prevails with regard to the circulate
| ing medium, which we hope soon to SEQ based
on metallic currency. Er-t.
| Fourth-That We disapprove of the election
of q President for . third term, as establishing
| precedent dangerous to the perpetuity of Re-
publican institutions.
Fifth-That honest, practical labor should
be protected and receive just reward, in sup
port of which view we favor the revision Of our
treaty relations with the Empire Of China in
such q manner ~ to discourage the immigra-
ton of q servile class Of laborers, and such leg
islation as will actually prohibit the importa-
ton of depraved persons from abroad.
Sixth-That, except in such cases as when
the grant or subsidy is first submitted to the
people interested, and approved by them, we are
opposed to the granting by county, State or
Federal Government Of subsidies or grants to
railroads or other corporations.
Seventh-That while weappreciate the advan.
tages derived from ralnoads, we demand Al the
hands of our National Congress and our State
Legislature tho passage Of laws regulating
fares and freights at = reasonable rate, and pre-
hibiting such railways from discriminating in
their charges between the residents Of this State
| and those Of other States; ALSO we favor the
| passage Of laws compelling the railroads to pay
| a fair and equal amount Of taxation upon all
property owned or controlled by them in this
State.
| Eighth-we believe the Office and duty of
statesman to be to do the business Of the State
| and in the transactions of the business Of tn,
State II is our duty to call into official place thu
| most intelligent, Industrious enterprising ant

individual capacity private citizens do bushes

amount that similar services command in pri
| vate pursuits Of the State.
Ninth-That the education of the children o
the State is . matter Of deep public concern

State demand the fostering care Of all good CIT
