IN the pursuance OF the ayowed pun pose q
maintaining an exclusive white man govern
ilsnt demand ard hereby receive ti:t Indignant
condemnation Of the Republicans Of Nevada.
E1urth-That W earnestly desire that the
e-cai. of the cOun.Ty he firmly maintained. n
orier that its commercial and industrial infer
sSts may sui injury by the EEctuattgE Il
values by ilinairIng the degree Of con.idtI.,a
which now prevails with regard 10 the e.rguIat-
ing medium, which We hope soon 70 sec DIS, i
Q raatallic currency
Fifth-That we iisfpprove Of the election Of
a President for third term, 4s establishing
precedent dangerous to the perpetutity Of re-
pu5licaU institutions
Sixth-IEst h.ucst, practical labor elloEsld
be practlceG and receive JISt reward, in sup
sort Of which view we favor tine revision OF our
treaty relations with the Empire o. China in
sIcf, manner IL discourage the Immigration
OF serviie cisss IF lsOorers. and such iegisla-
tinri will actually prohibit the importation
OF Il. Fravtti persons from abroad.
1cventh-Ihat, except III such cases where
The grant o. subsidy Is first submitted TO the
people interested, and approEed by them. We
are opposed to the granting By County. State or
Federal Government Of subsidies grants 70
railroads or other corporations
Eghth-That while We appreciate the aG-
vantages derived FROM railroads, we demand at
the hands of our National Congress and our
State legislature the passage of laws establish
ing fares and freiShts at q reasonable rate. and
prohibiting 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 railroads to pay
. fair and equal amount of taxation upon all
propertyowned or contrrled bythem in this State
Ninfh-We believe that the office and duty
OF statesman to be TO do the business for the
State, and in the transaction of the business of
tine State it is duty to call into official place
the most intelligent, industrious, enteTprising |
and discreet business men of the State, hereby |
piedging such men and all new candidates be- |
fore us and the nominees Of this Convention if |
elected, to do business for the State as indus
economically and disc-eetly as in their
individual capacity private citizens do business
themselves: that the compensation Of publie
employees should not exceed the price, sum or
amount that similar services command in phi
rate pursuits of the State.
Tenth-That the education Of the children of |
he State Is . matter of deep public concern.
rhe public schools and the school fund of the |
tate should be invested in bonds of the State,
both in term and fact. The de-
raging of the expeLccS of the State Land Once |
at of thu principal of the ireducible school fund
. breach Of trust, and disgraceful TO the State.
