ditional planks which he was unable

these relate to is not forshadowed. 1t
will be seen that there i, nothing es-
pecially new or startling in that por-
ton of the platform at hand. Follow
ing are the resolutions:
The Union Republican party of Ne
vada. in convention assembled, renew
ing its pledges OF devotion to the Con-
stitution and laws of the Federal Gov
eminent. hereby announces its plat
form TO the people as follows:
Resotred, First-That We reaflirm
the principles and policy of the Re-
publican party as enunciited by its
last National Conventions; that we are
proud of its history and great services.
AMI We especially commend the vigor
and force by which it maintained the
Union, abolished slavery, and Sc
cured equal, civil and political rights
to all citizens. We demand that these
rights be enforced by appropriate
legislation, SO that all citizens shall
have the equal enjoyment OF II cir
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 i'll the discharge Of their
official duties. and the prompt and
fearless examination and punishment
OF those who violate any OF their OBJ
legations.
Second-That we heartily indorse the
last Republican Congress in repeating
the law increasing official salaries: in
reducing expenses by more than So
100000: in successfully resisting all
jobs: in aboliShing the eXtravagant
government of the District OF Colum-
bia. ami i'll reforming abuses generally,
whereby the Republican party has
proved itself to be worthy of continued
support by the people.
Third-That the recent outraCeS and
murders in the South, of which unof-

victims, committed in pursuance of an
avowed purpose of maintaining an eX-
elusive white mans government, de-
mand and hereby receive the indiy-

cans of Nevada.
Fourth-That we earnestly desire
that the credit of the country be firmly
maintained, i'll order that its CONNER
cial and industrial interests may not
suffer injury by the fiuctuation of val
lies, or by impairingt the degree of con
tidence Which now prevails with re-
gard to the circulating medium, which
we hope soon to see based on Il metal
lie currency.
Fiith-That we disapprove of the
election of Il President for a third
term, as establishing a precedent dan
gerous to the perpetuity of republican
institutions.
~SiNth-That honest, practical labor
should be protected and receive a Just
reward. in support of which view we
favor the revision Of our treaty rela-
tons with the Empire OF China in
such a m as to discourage the
immigration of a >ervile class of labor
ers and such legislation AS will actual
ly prohibit the importation of depraved
persons from abroad.
Scventh-That, except in such cases
when the grant or subsidy is first sub
mltted to the people interested, and
approved by them, we are opposed TO
the granting by our county, State oil
Federal Government of subsidies Oh
grants to railroad or other corpora,

Eiyhth-That while we appreciate
the advantages derived from railroads
We demand at the hands of our ia,
